Posted: 3/1/2010 5:47:19 PM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I looked for this report, but wasn't able to find it within the boards that I had browsed, so if it's been posted then please delete this. If you hadn't heard the Port of Tacoma made this press release recently. The replicas were destined to Airsoft Outlet Northwest in which they've responded with this article. The local CBS affiliate has also covered it here

Edit. I watched the video. The ATF guy is obviously some kind of complete moron. And that's putting it lightly.

When you have a moron say something like that and won't produce the evidence. I can see it coming now and the American people had better be ready for it.

I know arfcom members for the most part don't. Who in the hell would trust an airsoft gun to shoot one 5.56 round, much less in full auto. Even if this did seem remotely possible, I don't think criminals would bother converting airsoft toys into actual firearms.

Posted: 1/11/2011 6:18:29 PM how stupid are these people! or are they? they just busted a bunch of airsoft rifles because they could be rendered into full-auto mg`s. my thinking is that the atf could use their reasoning to say if these airsoft rifles could be converted( and it would be very difficult indeed if not impossible) it would be much easier to do it with real ar rifles and hence give them an opening to intercepting any and all ar`s from any manufacture with an executive order from "head-cheese" himself. just a thought.

Posted: 2/17/2011 10:08:54 AM I am almost motivated to buy one of these POS's so I can write up a report and give a demonstration on how not possible this is. I will then present it to the ATF so that maybe It will get me a job. Then I will proceed to clean the place up from all the morons they have hired. I took a civilian job because I was tired of the government work that seemed to never stay on schedule or come anywhere near completion without absolute failure. Now, I see where our money is being wasted and it's time they stop hiring liberal idiots from the road with a state college degree and start hiring our returning soldiers.

Then they tell me the gun can be converted into a real gun? I'm an airsoft player myself, and 99% of these guns would simply blow up in your face the second you tried to shoot anything out of it.
