This is the full interpretation of airgun laws and regulations in Canada. I debated coming online to answer this question. First of all. Law enforcement has absolutely no understanding of our gun regulations. By law enforcement i mean city police RCMP any law enforcement personnel. I'm only saying this one time. So tell all your friends. All airguns rifles pistols markers home defense paintball. 500 + fps / 5.7 j PAL 500- fps no limit for FPE. 400 joules no pal. Period. Both thresholds must be met. You can have a airgun shoot a cannon ball at 495 fps and the energy is unlimited. Crazy isn't it. But once over 500 fps energy is capped at 5.7 joules. That is how it is period in a Court of law.
The actual interpretation of our crazy air gun laws. The reason the answers are so twisted and hard to interpret is because our air gun laws are

Read this people. I'm so tired of hearing all the confusion regarding airgun regulations. Airgun with 1000 fps absolutely doesn't require a pal or any kind of paperwork IF the energy is under 5.7 joules. NO PAL NO REGULATIONS. AMAZING. UNDER 500 fps unlimited joules 200 j. 300 j it does not matter. No PAL REQUIRED. IM SO SORRY it took me this long to help you my friends. I'm just so tired of people not sharing the truth. NOW YOU HAVE IT. Contact me if you require answers. Our Canada customs doesn't have any understand of our laws. Because our laws are ridiculous. Meaning by law you can have any airgun paintball gun marker home defense markers shooting 495 fps with bear 
killing power legally NO PERMIT NO PAL. If you have questions. I'm am the one to ask. I'm Dave. Take care people

You must realize that these laws are written by politicians (lawyers) who don’t know s—t from shinola about shooting sports.

strange , no" back up his story" list to read.
I was "ham radio " friends with an IL. Senator , One time at his house there were two Judges at the party and they both agreed that the Laws are there for a JUDGE to interpret according to the exact facts of THAT CASE . So a law might be vastly different according to the case . We were talking about a Ham radio violation case BTW

Because I was born there. I've been in manatoba Canada for over 45 years. Actually California dadah is my YouTube calling card. Yup. I've been through the Canadian court system a few times. I'm not proud in saying that I've put police prosecutors and various law enforcement officials in their place. Believe me when I say they definitely do like being made aware of their own ignorance in understanding and applying airgun regulations laws aswell as the firearms act. Just a hint. Define what a weapon is. Is a weapon a knife a gun a pellet pistol a paintball marker. The answer is extremely simple but so hard to grasp. A weapon does not exist unless the item is used in a selfdefense or violent manner towards a living person or other Animal species. All these things are called tools. It's only a weapon after it's used as a weapon. Is a spoon a weapon or utensil. The answer is it's a utensil until somebody rams it down you throat. Any pellet gun pistol or rifle or a cannon ball gun is perfectly legal legit no paperwork no pal no nothing just obey our laws and follow regulations. Keep it under 500 fps the energy is practically unlimited. Over 500 fps this is the amazing part energy is capped at 5.7 j. PERMIT pal required. If your airgun is 500 to 5000 fps yes I said 5000 fps as long as the energy is less than 5.7 j NO PAL REQUIRED. And yes by law and regulations we are definitely allowed to modify build create increase power speed energy. For example. An HDR 68 MARKER weapon firearm or regulated. You are absolutely most definitely allowed it modify this marker . Warning it's extremely expensive to do far more expensive than just buying a rifle or pistol firearm. Legally allowed to modify the HDR 68 up to 499 feet per second. Shooting any projectile. I recommend .68 or 17.3 mm solid chrome ballbearings weighing approximately 300 grains. Awesome marker for backpacking expeditions. Let me say this come across a zombie a bear whatever. Shoot it with this for protection. You'll be the one going home that day. Now increase the inner diameter of your marker's barrel. Increase the projectile weight let's say 1000 to 2000 grains. Remember keep you fps under 500. But if you get caught using a lighter projectile in a marker capable of 499 fps with a projectile weight of extreme mass your in a bit of hot H2O. Always dial in you airmarker or airgun to only produce 500 fps with whatever projectile weight you want. A bit of real life advice. Never change remove projectile. Always leave marker or airgun loaded with that combination. Ie. 500 or less fps fpe is unlimited. Due the simple calculation your pistol or rifle air gun using 200 to 2000 grains. Why would you want a firearm and the hassle that comes with it. That's the big reason for airgun laws rules are hard to understand. Our airguns can literally be far and I mean far more devastating than a firearm by far. Any questions find me.

Walz prived that with his shotgun loading skills, yet he's a gun owner and avid hunter. GTFOH.
