The ATF and Custom are stupid about Airsoft

[Excalibur]

According to the guy who was wronged by the ATF, he called the main office of the BATFE and he got someone who said that Airsoft is not under their jurisdiction and to give the man at the Oregon's local office their number, but the local office at Oregon didn't care

I'd sue the bastards

I'd get petitions and support from everyone I can get and get a rally outside the local ATF building that stole my shit

Wow, that's messed up. On a side note, I didn't know that airsoft rules fell under BATF's jurisdiction? I know they are regulated by Customs since they (mostly) come into this country from Asia.

Well according to the guy who got screwed over by the ATF, he was able to talk to an agent at the main office of the BATFE and he was told that the ATF had no jurisdiction on Airsoft what so ever. But that did not change the minds of the local ATF guys that pretty much up and stole his Airsoft. seriously, it's a lot of money

Well if I can convert an Airsoft Gun into a real one, I could go make a army of operators by buying these and a dozen copies of MW2. Now I feel good about my tax dollars.

It doesn't even seem physically possible. Most good Airsoft are made of aluminum and other light metals. including the barrel, which isn't even big enough for a .22LR to fit through. And if you could chamber a round, you'd need to get a bolt assemble, another trigger piece and even then there's a possibility of the round exploding inside this thing. It's just not designed to shoot real bullets.
