Actually, I made a boo-boo on the fps. The airsoft/firearm threshold is 366 fps.

I did not use the terminology of "requires registration" since we have repealed the non-restricted (majority of longarms) registration of firearms in Canada. We do, however, still require a firearms license for the "over 500 fps and 5.7 joules" firearms. But I did use the word "weapon" instead of firearm, so I have amended my post to reflect that change, along with the FPS.
