Those...... that's a frickin spring loaded toy.

The "casing" contains a spring in it, and the "primer" is just a spring release button. You even need a special little tool to push the spring-loaded plate in place. The red tip is from a black foam with a red plastic tip on it. Made of zinc alloy and held together by screws.

You can see the "GG" in circles on the side, not clear enough, but it's there, and especially the lack of serial number proves this isn't from Trailblazer.

Source? My 9-year-old nephew had one, and my brother bought it from Taobao. It's like, what, 6RMB, so 1.2CAD. The "new and improved" ones are more expensive, about 8CAD.

Maybe it's considered a replica firearm? Because of its resemblance? And thus prohibited? But it's a toy gun for sure......

P.S. Hell, I can even post a picture of that product on Taobao if you guys want me to. It looks just like this one, even the details.

It’s considered a replica because it closely matches the original and is easily converted to actually fire live rounds (though very unsafe)

The chambers are made to fit actual .22wmr, I can’t detail the process because it’s super illegal and dangerous but they can be altered to actually strike the rim and set off the round in about 2 minutes, from there is equally dangerous to anybody standing behind it or in front of it lol
