Hop-up [1] is the backspin put on airsoft pellets and BBs to increase their range via the Magnus effect. Hop-up devices apply backspin to the projectile reducing the air pressure on its top side. This causes the plastic pellet to fall less over a given distance than it would without the spin applied, extending the effective range of the weapon ...
Airsoft guns are not to be confused with BB guns, which are airguns that shoot 4.5 mm (.177 in) metallic spherical pellets, unlike the plastic pellets shot by airsoft guns. Many manufacturers and retailers suggest treating an airsoft gun like a real gun at all times.
However, due to their lower voltage supplies and miniature gearboxes, they usually generate lower muzzle speeds (about 0.25 - .5J per BB, 25–50 m/s for 0.2g BB) and slightly slower rates of fire than replicas using a full-sized gearbox system.

An airsoft gun may be imported if it meets the required markings. An airsoft gun that is obviously a child's toy (e.g. made out of clear plastic or at a drastically different scale) [13] and fires only very light pellets (less than 2 g) no faster than 152.4 m/s (500 ft/s) would not be classified as a firearm under the Canadian Firearms Act.
