If you muzzle load it could be a simple matter of sleeving the barrel. Are you sure you can buy one without any sort of licensing though?

The following items are not controlled under the Regulations at present. However, you should contact the Firearms/Weapons Registry of your State/Territory Police Service to determine any requirements they might have on the possession of an item.

You might have a problem with the body and magazine. What I would suggest is import the gearbox and breech only as these are innocuous items that are not gun-like and could easily slip through customs. You can add 6mm tubing as a barrel and easily make your own spring-loaded mag.

The P90 mechbox would be an idea part to import because it doesn't have a pistol-grip shape and trigger like other mechboxes:

I don't know if you would be able to get the tranquilizer darts without a license (assuming you're in Australia), but I do know what's in them....tranquilizers. :lol:

No really, it's a sedative (which acts on the central nervous system) and slows it down. There are many, many kinds of sedatives that can go in them. It is injected through a syringe type needle and the dart usually has a plunger of some sort to help the sedative into the body.

Yeah I thought it might have been some sort of Barbiturate.

In short, making a dart that will inject the sedative on impact is easy. Obtaining the sedative itself and determining the right dose and point of impact is the hard part.

does any one know of an airsoft website to buy the p90 gearbox from, ive looked since 2 months ago and cant find anything ive also heard from i think jsr that you probably can get uzi aegs too but havent looked at those because the things ive read about uzi's are pretty crap and they dont have a good fps for ammo at all
