Look, Hunter84, I have to ask do you plan to play in a skirmish with other Airsofters, because if you do, a "flame thrower" Airsoft weapon is a bit stupid, you'll get tagged just because you are carrying a stupid weapon. It's cool as a collector's item, but it wont be cool to shoot with when your running and gunning and I've seen people who noob the shit out of their rifles with unnecessary accessories like a foregrip, 6x scopes, and flashlights.

Maybe a collector's item is a good enough reason? When I used to be into airsoft, I knew lots of people who bought guns that they never actually took to skirmishes (in some cases, never even fired at all), but they bought those weapons strictly for collector value. As far I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with it.

The same applies to real guns, too.

I agree, nothing wrong with it as a collector's item. Heck, I got a hollowed out M67 hand grenade on the shelf above my TV. Do I have a use for it? No.

An uncle of mine has an artillery shell on his shelf. A very big one.
