I recently had a chance to see a friend's airsoft pistol. It was modelled after the US Beretta M92F and molded in clear transparent plastic so it looked like a toy. The mechanism was electric, using a motor and 4 AAA batteries to propel plastic ball bearings. This is technically a toy since even the neighbourhood stores sell cheap toy guns that shoot plastic BBs. What I'd like to know is, is this particular gun considered by customs, etc, to be a real firearm? I'm interested in knowing exactly what customs allows through, and what isn't. I don't mean those that look like full-scale assault rifles, etc. I've also seen in foreign shops obviously fake airsoft electrics that look like a deformed AK, M16, etc. They're 1/3 scale and squished lengthwise. How about these?

The government even ban sale of chewing gum, can you expect them to let you import something that is capable of hurting someone??? Damn do I miss the taste of the gd old chewing gum!

Thats interesting, try telling that to PAP.
