Anyway, about Airsoft, being a former player with still some interests, any Airsoft rifle is essentially an empty shell with a special motor the connects to an "inner" barrel that is hidden within the actual barrel of the rifle you see on the outside. A battery powers the motor and when loaded with a magazine, which is also a shell that is designed to carry the bbs, they fire via compressed air. You take all that out and you get pretty much a hollow shell that looks like a real gun. There is no space inside or too much space to drop in an actual bolt carrier, or firing pin and trigger assembly and the "barrel" is just a fake.
