That's what I meant, though I may have written it unclearly. I was admonishing members to check to see whether or not it was a three position (thus a Navy version of the A2 or A3, etc) or a four position (thus an A4/A5) before declaring it to be a certain type of gun. Sorry for the bad writing.

I did not know about the AIRSOFT error, but that makes sense. I don't know a lot about airsoft in general. I've seen the guns. Some of them are very impressive looking (I don't care about internals since the only airsofts used in movies are for fake gun stand ins).

What bugs me about airsoft is that so many of the high end (read expensive $$$) guns have a bunch of the details wrong. I've held up the real deal to an airsoft a bunch of times and those airsoft manufacturers make stupid little mistakes that they shouldn't. I figured if some kid is going to spend $400-$1000 on a high end airsoft, he should at least get an exacting copy of the real gun.
