So we spent taxpayers money for shit bought outside of the US just because it was cheaper, which is made by a company, that up until very recently, only made airsofts, who's CEO is a 14 year old nephew of some big shot?

Really?

The multi-million-dollar arms contract is considered a major coup for MIRsatz, which was created just one month ago, following the February 26, 2010 seizure of 30 Airsoft pellet guns at the Port of Tacoma by U.S. Customs officials and ATF agents. The pellet guns were seized because U.S. officials believed they could easily be converted to fire high-pressure centerfire rifle cartridges. The pellet gun importer asserted that the toy arms were only capable of propelling small plastic pellets at less-than-lethal velocities, and that the toy guns would desintegrate if somehow an actual round could be chambered, but U.S. agents were unconvinced. “You couldn’t tell by weight or feel that the guns were fake”, according to ATF spokeswoman Cheryl Bishop, who added: “Most people would be hard-pressed to tell the difference, and that’s why we were so concerned. You could slide a magazine in there. They load and charge very realistically, very much like the real thing.” Over the protests of the toy gun importer, the pellet guns were seized and destroyed.

What kind of idiots work for Customs and the BATF? They can't tell the difference between airsoft and real weapons? We use Sig-made airsoft pistols in some of our force-on-force training at my agency, and I assure you, every officer can tell the difference. Nor is there any way on God's green earth could you convert an airsoft weapon to fire real ammo. :confused:
