So your desire for a FX Revolution looks rather slim. Al   Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 5:05 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6929 Location: "Out There" Canada also has similar issues. ANY airgun over 500fps and 4.2fpe is considered a "firearm" and needs a license to purchase/possess. Automatic and semi-automatic firearms are essentially banned to anyone not in law enforcement or owned directly by the military. So, a semi- or full-auto airgun would become a "prohibited firearm" and that would be that. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I love FX guns, in fact i love Sweeden...i think i'll 2nd life there. _________________ Better Late Than Never...But Better Never Late!   Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 9:51 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6929 Location: "Out There" In my experience, "logic" and "government" are oxymorons. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."
