There are no firearms in this photo. They are all run of the mill Can Tire pellet/bb guns.

23

u/Inevitable-Prize-403 10d ago

Really? I noticed right away that one of them was clearly a pellet gun. I used to have a similar one to the one at the bottom.

u/Smooth_Project2781 9d ago

The one at the top looks close to an ISSC MK22 22lr semi auto which I believe is either banned or prohibited now. Its butchered but it looks like thats what it is from what im seeing. The rest however look like pellet/bb guns.

17

u/snakeleather45 9d ago

It looks like one but its not. Note the lack of ejection port, among other details.

u/Trick-Goat-3643 10d ago

Those are what our government calls "Crime Guns"
They are toy guns that inflate the gun crime statistics for domestically sourced "firearms"

46

u/PlanetGuardian-42 10d ago

Have they actually used "firearms" like these in those stats?

Shameful, if so.

u/Trick-Goat-3643 10d ago

RCMP Definition: The RCMP defines a "crime gun" as any firearm used or suspected to have been used in a criminal offence, those with obliterated or altered serial numbers, guns not reported lost or stolen, and replicas, toys, 3D-printed guns, or air guns used in offences.

"Used in offenses" also includes things like this where they were seized during an investigation

u/PlanetGuardian-42 10d ago

Well, that's ridiculous.

31

u/noveltyisthe 10d ago

It’s falsely representing the facts.

22

u/jiggy7272 10d ago

To top that the injury from firearms stats include airsoft, paintball and pellet/bb... kids out playing in a field paintballing and lil Johnny sob gets hurt, his mom takes him to the hospital for say a fall. Boom another tick for firearms related injury stats.

u/Inevitable-Prize-403 10d ago

I’ve actually been charged for having a pellet gun in my house when it got raided. They called it a “replica firearm” even though it was clearly not real, nor was there any reason to believe that was its intended purpose. Not sure if the picture I attached is the exact same one but close enough. Luckily my charges were dropped.

u/AssignmentPutrid3197 9d ago

Was someone in your house dealing drugs?

7

u/Inevitable-Prize-403 9d ago

No, but I believe the next door neighbours were and I think they had the wrong address on the warrant although I was never shown one.

1

u/Lobsterstarfish 9d ago

Damn! They searched my apartment and found 3 real firearms that were illegal and I didn’t get charged or nothing! I ended up getting them back when I pal came in

31

u/Not-a-Cranky-Panda 10d ago

You think that's bad the UK police have been known more than once to show photos of knifes they have taken off of the streets and had spoons mixed in with them.

23

u/CrowsFeast73 10d ago

Excessive fans of the Simpsons I guess.

14

u/danielcs78 10d ago

They clearly aren’t any good whatsoever at playing knifey spoony.

u/Not-a-Cranky-Panda 10d ago

To be fair the way I ride is a danger to everyone but mostly me!

7

u/Stryker1-1 10d ago

And what the news calls assault style firearms

68

u/Remote_Mistake6291 10d ago

None of them look like actual firearms.  The bottom is a Gamo airgun.

144

u/dannysmackdown 10d ago

Camo gun is a pellet gun, AR is an airsoft gun and bottom gun looks like a pellet gun too.

I'm not convinced there are any real guns in this photo.

3

u/jwin709 9d ago

How can you tell with the AR? Is it the butt stock that seems fit for holding batteries?

1

u/dannysmackdown 8d ago

Yes. They do make butt stocks irl for real AR's but at the end of the stock you can make out the connector for the battery.

100

u/SonOfJaak 10d ago

They all look like BB guns.

33

u/TheIronGus 10d ago

Some are airsoft

7

u/Matty_bunns 10d ago

I was just going to say that.

1

u/Katolo 10d ago

Thanks for letting us know!

50

u/isanthrope_may 10d ago

Airsoft guns and…gabapentin. At this rate the white powder is probably flour.

14

u/Brapika 10d ago

The flour was milled on an electric rotor rather than in a rotary hand-mill. Therefore, it's a prohibited substance.

2

u/GrayCustomKnives 10d ago

Well yeah, that’s a fully semi automatic assault style flour mill. A weapon of mass production. Only single shot manually operated flour mills are allowed.

61

u/CallousDisregard13 10d ago

RCMP: These are domestically sourced crime guns.

Poly: 75% of crime guns are domestically sourced!

23

u/Eglitarian 10d ago

Be sure to check your local Canadian tire for more scary crime guns!

6

u/CallousDisregard13 10d ago

My favorite is the "Daisy Red Rampager" .177 calibre of death and destruction

20

u/Ok_Pipe6417 10d ago

I'd say they're larping a bit. No firearms there, gabapentin is the same stuff the vet perscribed my old lab for pain. The white stuff could be anything but reminds me of the probiotic I gave said dog also given by said vet. At thia rate the small bottle is probably combantrin for bum worms.

4

u/outdoorsaddix 10d ago

Believe it or not, people abuse it too and there is a black market for it.

I was prescribed it a while ago for chronic nerve pain (didn’t do shit for me unfortunately) and in researching it, I stumbled on r/gabagoodness

So believe it or not, people do abuse it in high doses and ergo there is a black market for it.

1

u/CountryFine 10d ago

I recently started taking it for sleep issues, and the first time i took it (on a pretty low dose) felt super zen and relaxed, similar to weed. I could imagine it would give a pretty euphoric high at a larger dose

19

u/LongdayShortrelief 10d ago

Who slangs Gabapentin 😂😂😂

13

u/CollectibleHam 10d ago

Scarface raiding his grandma's medicine cabinet I guess lmao

u/Vintage_Pieces_10 10d ago

Vancouver island special right there

u/Current_Scallion_966 9d ago

LOL why is this the way it is

14

u/Byzantine-SK 10d ago

Why post airsoft guns - like come on guys

12

u/fetishlyme 10d ago

All bb guns

10

u/Fuck_you_all22 10d ago

All pellet airguns. The bottom with scope is a break barrel. 495 fps. Anything more powerful requires pal. So they are likely canadian tire specials.

Criminal code is strange that an airgun used in commission crime is considered a "firearm".

6

u/outdoorsaddix 10d ago

I’m fairly certain that if you carved a piece of wood to look like a gun, painted it black and used it in a crime, it would be posted and recorded as a “crime gun”

4

u/Trick-Goat-3643 10d ago

Doesn't have to be used in a crime, just seized

3

u/Fuck_you_all22 10d ago

Replica guns are illegal. So you just committed a crime. Isn't our criminal code insanely rational?

8

u/Orcasystems99 10d ago

Didn't they say looked like firearms, but were not... airsoft and Gamo. 177 pellet guns

7

u/mustang-4life 10d ago

Airport and pellet guns

u/Glockinmytacklebox 10d ago

Gabatron out

u/crafty_alias 10d ago

Lmao. I've never seen someone so excited to shovel snow.

u/SneakerReviewZ 10d ago

Bucket O’ Bullshit

5

u/GodsGiftToWrenching 10d ago

Best part about Canadian crime stats, even though these are all airsoft or pellet guns they will be counted as firearms siezed in crimes. Last time I checked stats for firearm crime the break down included injuries and fatalities resulting from bb guns

3

u/Trick-Goat-3643 10d ago

RCMP Definition: The RCMP defines a "crime gun" as any firearm used or suspected to have been used in a criminal offence, those with obliterated or altered serial numbers, guns not reported lost or stolen, and replicas, toys, 3D-printed guns, or air guns used in offences.

Doesn't require an injury, just has to resemble a gun and be seized by police

5

u/neck-tourniquet 10d ago

5 seized firearms and no ammo...or is it they didn't want to show the pellets and bbs?

4

u/Infinite_Price_3550 10d ago

I bet these guys are actually from Campbell River. That place is such a shit hole. Comox isn't much better.

2

u/Vintage_Pieces_10 10d ago

I think the report said they were from Surrey, en route to a residence in Comox where they were caught

4

u/imjonjoncanada 10d ago

None of those are "real" firearms...and there's no crack in the photo either. The capsules are probably supplements and the bags of "powder" are probably flour mixed with laxative lol. Air-softs and pellet guns can still be dangerous though and if they were used to commit robberies, glad they got em. I'll bet whoever these belonged to had a pit-bull they didn't take good care of and if anyone called their bluff, they wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.

4

u/NIBLZ_HAMSTR 10d ago

Really impossible to tell for sure without a closer look, but I see at least 2 pellet guns... I dont think any of them seem 100% legit to me. I have no idea what that top one is.

4

u/Ov3rReadKn1ght0wl 10d ago

As others have said, these are all pellet and BB guns, not actual firearms. However, they'll be counted as such for firearms crime statistics because of how charges work in these parts.

3

u/Leather-Tour9096 10d ago

Pretty sure there’s crackheads with bigger guns than this in comox 🤣

3

u/imjonjoncanada 10d ago

Crazy thing is, if they bought these air-soft/pellet/BB guns legally at Canadian Tire and used them in a robbery, the government would site them as "legal firearms used in a crime". Another thing many don't know is, if a farmer has a shotgun, or small cal varmint firearm and they lose their ability to provide for their family due to government mismanagement....and they take their life.....that goes down as a death involving a legally purchased firearm. These make up a great percentage of the insanely small number of deaths caused by/involving legal firearms. So gross

3

u/NotCriminallyRespons 10d ago

None of those are real

u/Melodic-Street-8898 10d ago

U know ur about that life when u got a sawed off pellett gun

u/Simple_Address1934 10d ago

I thought drug dealer are rich, they gonna carry something like golden eagle or something. Bad economy.

2

u/pyates1 10d ago

At least the RCMP got some publicity out of this, why waste a photo op. Someone is getting a commendation called the circle jerk as well.

2

u/Motor_Historian2634 10d ago

Bottom one is an umarex surge, I still have one from when I was a kid

2

u/MixSpecific4630 9d ago

Those weren’t local crack heads. Was a few dipshits from surrey that got busted in the valley

1

u/floppy_breasteses 10d ago

I can say for 100% that three of these are airguns, and 90% that the other two are as well. Kind of a janky collection, IMO.

1

u/Altruistic_Split9447 10d ago

I think they are all BB guns

1

u/georgeofthejungle71 10d ago

At least they didn't call them assault weapons.

1

u/McPhlyGuy 10d ago

BB guns. All of them. What a joke. Both the police and the retards they think they’re cool gangstas with these.

1

u/moonpie_888 10d ago

Top might be a .22

1

u/Less_Ad_6609 10d ago

Finially they for the gabatron

u/yankeewhiskeyecho 9d ago

Dudes are chopping gabapentin armed with BB guns 😆

u/SexiTwink 9d ago

Squirrels are again safe to smoke meth on the streets.

1

u/unlmtdammo on 9d ago

Ah Blowmox and Snortenay!

Welcome to the valley

1

u/Any_Fan_5320 9d ago

All pellet and bb guns including the sawed off pyle o shit

1

u/Seared_Gibets 9d ago

My guess, in no particular order:

BB gun, Pellet gun, BB gun, Pellet gun, Pellet gun.

1

u/Lobsterstarfish 9d ago

Literally all pellet guns XD legally they can’t just take them!

1

u/Cbrad1609 9d ago

Gotta love comox

1

u/Papabandit_ 9d ago

its so funny to me that Air guns are legally counted as guns for the sake of stacking charges so we get images like this.

1

u/cherryewitthak 8d ago

Gabapentin and BB guns 😂

1

u/Background-Way7794 7d ago

air guns are firearms, just CC 2 exempt for the intended purpose of use. Take one of these and wave it around at someone? firearm charge.

1

u/chickenmcbro 4d ago

All pellet/BB guns
