Welcome to Hardcorps Combat Simulations
To those who have never heard of airsoft, here is the rundown. Airsoft is a military simulation sport that has become very popular in North America in recent years. Our weapons fire 6mm plastic/bio-material sphere rounds that can range from 0.12 grams (low/economy grade) - 0.43 grams (sniper grade) in mass. The weapons themselves are replicas of real firearms that use an electrical, spring or gas mode of compression to fire these projectiles. This is a non-marking sport. All hits are called by the players hit. This may seem like a very big opening for cheating, but the truth is that a majority of players are very honorable and choose the sport for its realism, exercise and a good time. We have had our problems in the past, but as new players learn that re-spawning in a majority of the missions, not calling hits is kinda pointless. Any other information go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft
Legalities
Eye protection is mandatory. All goggles are approved on a case by case basis. They must comply to the ANSI Z87.1-2003 rating and must be a sealed goggle to ensure no eye injury will be sustained. Face and other protections are not mandatory, but strongly recommended to protect soft tissues and teeth. All players must sign a liability waiver yearly! All players under 18 must have their parents or guardians sign the waiver prior to playing. If you are asked for ID, you must supply it. If for whatever reason we are not satisfied that you are 18+ and you do not have ID you will be unable to play.
According to Canadian Firearms laws replica weapons (any device designed to closely resemble or emulate an existing firearm) are considered to be prohibited weapons and as such are not able to be imported into the country. For those that have seen the weapons that are true replicas, these items have been grandfathered do to the replica legislation put into action December 1, 1998. That being said, Canada has their own "version" of airsoft. These devices are still replicas per se, but have portions of the weapon that are made of clear plastic to ensure quick designation between real and replica even to people who have never seen firearms. The main stigma of the sport has been the replica aspect of the weapons due to the fact they "could" be used to commit a crime. As far as the RCMP are concerned these weapons are legal to own if they have been grandfathered, but if used in a crime will hold the same charges as if an actual firearm is used. IE: minimum 4 year sentence or possible death. So be warned, ignorance is no excuse. Thankfully in recent years we have been blessed with Canadian approved airsoft rifles and pistols that are becoming more accessible than ever. So lock and load.
