Well, I'm a law student, so I could mention some case law on the matter of what the Supreme Court has defined as a firearm; then again, I'm from Argentina, so...

Really, saying "600 FPS isn't airsoft" is pretty dumb; we're talking airsoft, not airsoft in Canada, despite this being a canadian forum.
In my community, the rules are 330 CQB, 400 10 mts. minimum, 430 support, 10 mts. as well, but they have to carry a huge gun, use a drum, etc., 500 20 mts., semi only, 600 30 mts., bolt action only. Alright, hope that straightens it out.

On the other hand, what I'm really interested in finding out is if a PTW can really hit nice groupings at 270 ft., I find it ridiculous, given the amount of work a sniper rifle or DMR needs to achieve this kind of shots consistently. I mean, why do people bother with all that work into a sniper rifle that gets blasted in half by a gun that can shoot in full auto at almost the same range?
How can the design on PTW's hop up/nub/bucking be SO insane not even companies that specialize in sniper rifles can match it?
That's why it all sounded like an exaggeration of the qualities of the PTW.
