Okay, so that is like buying one of those body kits for your .22 or your mini 14. The only difference is that it looks just like a G36 instead of the other conversions.

While it's a novel idea(maybe) it's unsafe. No safety.

Someone is going to pick it up thinking it's an airsoft gun and shoot that guy in the leg. I will laugh at him for his stupidity.

that isn't a replica firearm modified to fire real ammunition... its a replica firearm body strapped to a .22 LR receiver and barrel.

At least if idiot children blast each other with one of those, it'll be weeding out the dumb end of the gene pool.

Wow that commercial insults me, that's utter bullsh!t, I can't believe some stupid moms are trying to pass something that's is based on the fact of well... nothing. There is no way in hell you can get an airsoft gun to shoot a real bullet. If you are stupid enough to belive it can be done (especially a 9 year old) then your a retard. That's so stupid that people are trying to pass crap when they have absolutely no experience with. I bet you half those moms do not even know what Airsoft is and the other half has their heads so far up their a$$ they can't tell if the gun is fake or real.

OH NOES! All my 9 year old has to do is go into a gun store and buy a lower and upper reciever, the sale of which is regulated and the transactions of which are monitored, and and they could turn their Airsoft gun into a WEAPON of DEATH in my OWN HOUSE!

Aaaaaaaaah, FREAK OUT!

Just one more piece of crap for the anti-gunners of the world. There has already been laws here in the good ol USA to ban airsoft guns. Lucky for us they have never made it to sessions to be voted on. Be afraid, be very afraid, some day we could end up like England or Austrailia and not have any guns of any kind, toys or not.

Yeah but the great thing about the united states is they could only take registered guns and then they can't bust you for not registering your guns because that would be a violation of your 5th amendment rights. YAY Constitution.

Please... Don't resurrect ancient threads just to interject more of the same opinion. This thread died last year.

Lol, amendments can be amended. Sad day.

Technically an airsoft gun can fire bullets. With little to no modification at all even.

Think about it...

It was in the very first part "From the looks of it, this is a Airsoft Bsomething or other"

Sounds like a brit version of the idiocy pumped out by the Brady Campaign here in the states...

Besides which, real steel's already outlawed over there (unless I've completely lost track of things), and you know what? Violent crime, especially edged weapon crimes, increased significantly.

I know it's off topic a bit, but it was an interesting point I think.

So yay for the idiot anti-gun lobby, you used another dumb scare tactic, and it didn't work. Congratulations.

While it doesn't specifically say "Airsoft guns", their campaign is (WAS) for a ban on all "replica weapons". Fortunately, judging from their website, they seem to have absolutely no idea what "replica weapons" are, or even the faintest idea of how firearms function, so their campaign is doomed to failure due to being build on scare tactics, misinformation, and false premises.

Don't get mad, point and laugh at the idiots who will never succeed.
