It may come to that but then we might offend the "tru spirited" re enactors and cause another shitstorm as we are using a plastic toy BB gun!

Looks like 1st Martian Plasma (airsoft) Rifle Regiment to keep in the game or 101st GunsThatNeverWere Battalion to stay within some idiotic laws.

I prefer to just take an arrow shaft and hook it up to a air compresser. It takes me a while to move around the field but I'm pretty sure I can shoot about 400 ft away with no hop-up. . Or for those who arn't built like Arnold, I guess we can use a Bicycle pump instead. [/sarcasm]

This exactly what is happening. I had ordered an 9mm converison kit for my M4, and it was flagged at customs. I had a lengthy phone call with a CBSA person who told me that they did get a directive to pay closer attention to packages coming from certain retailers. She mentioned UN, WGC and Redwolf by name, as well as a couple more she couldnt pronounce.

Anyways, we spoke at length, a few times, and in the end I did get my parts released.

You'll have to leave your CadPat at home for this though. The blunderbuss has a terrible reload time, and it's next to impossible to be stealthy in the forest in a bright red wool tunic and 3 foot tall hat.
