"Piss on the information"? Bro, I think you need to take your own advice and chill the fuck out. You're taking this way too personally. Yeah, I'm skeptical of the info you provided, and I expressed my reasons for being skeptical. That's hardly "pissing" on it, and I don't see why the hell you'd get so offended. Unless you represent this particular retailer?
Personally, I'm far more inclined to trust the professional armorers on this site, because they're people who actually supply guns to Hollywood and they know how the biz works. The same does not apply to the typical airsoft fan or retailer.

That was
one example. I can think of countless other examples of kids on airsoft message boards who claimed that they had proof that there was an airsoft gun in some movie (like one guy who said there was an airsoft G36C in "Bad Boys II", and another who claimed that "Heat" was all airsoft guns). Remember, I own airsoft guns and used to be into airsoft myself, so I know the community.
Unfortunately, the reality is that most airsoft fans are kids who have never touched a real gun in their lives. And retailers, likewise, are often people who have something to gain by claiming that they supplied guns to this or that movie. That is my experience, and I reserve the right to be skeptical having had those experiences.
