Wow, this is a necro thread... but it does remind me of a question I have regarding FPS vs. Joules limits in Canada. It states that for them to be legal an airsoft/airgun must shoot EITHER below 152.4m/s (500fps) or 5.7J.

If, for example, I game with .50g BBs and keep the FPS below 496fps (just under 5.7J with this weight), is it legal? If they were to take my gun and chrono it would they use the BBs I was using, or their own (lower weight which would cause it to go above the 500FPS legal limit but still be under 5.7J)?
