Yeah, how dare they be overly concerned about our safety! I hope this makes them ease the fuck up, so guns can be shipped here from overseas without anyone being the wiser.
Thanks Shaggy, for the only other wise answer on this idiotic thread.
WTF do you expect them to do with the guns? Send them to Toys R' Us? Those guns dont have serial numbers, which makes them untraceable. Do you know what that means? That means that any ol' person can waltz in and buy the gun, replace the necessary components, go shoot up a married couple in the park, and
get away with it.
Do you want more guns in the hands of drug runners? How about Terrorists? Gang members? No, I hope you dont! For once, our government does something right, and you have the nerve to complain about it? Shit, I'd happily pay money out of my own pocket to have those guns destroyed!
And its not like they can replace the parts and give them to cops or soldiers. Because owning a gun without a serial # is a crime. It allows the worst kinds of people to get away with the worst kinds of crimes. In fact, I think there needs to be stricter security!
Ummmm...
I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not. You do know that, despite a great deal of similarity, you would have to not only mill-out the lower and install a real FA FCG, but replace the airsoft BCG with a real one, add a gas system that won't melt after a couple rounds, replace the barrel, replace the buffer/spring...
It
literally would be less expensive and safer to go in some back alley in Florida and buy an actual M16 from some Mexican's trunk. There is no way in hell that you can make these airsoft toys fire real ammo without having some kind of catastrophic detonation in the first several rounds. these toys, while similar in weight and even field-strip, are still made of metals far inferior to the real life counterparts. Anyone who says otherwise is clearly not familiar with an actual gun or is trying to justify something.
And while these photos are of a genuine Colt AR-15 (after firing a bad round), this is approximately what you should expect if you were actually dumb enough to try and fire a cartridge of any loading through an airsoft gun.

Further inspection by Alcohol, Firearm and Tobacco agents concluded the guns in their current format were designed to shoot plastic balls, but by replacing a few internal components with machine gun components, the guns would be able to fire live ammunition
i'd like more elaboration on
which components. "machine gun components" is a little vauge. could they mean the receiver, chamber, firing mechanism, and barrel?
In other words...the whole goddamn rifle!
