The fact that it says "suitable for 14yrs" so fucking what, these whiny good for nothing kidiot monkeys are gonna get their hands on guns anyway so what difference does it make if the handguard is red and the site says its ok for 14yrs?

The only thing I see coming out of this is now the kidiots will link to that site when we tell them no guns for -18, and we will just tell them to FUCK OFF as we normally do

I can imagine we will be getting a ton of requests for "how to make my youth edition shoot 400fps" in the future, see end of the last sentence for what to tell them.

Anyone asking for assistance with this gun should be banned/infracted instantly as well, just a suggestion

Now that we've recieved our instructions, fall out!

(And I will send him constant reminders of how the community hates this. Internet annoyance is my spcecial feature!)

I have had a vision...



TokyoSeven will be annoyed by this thread.


That is all.

The idea that flashy colours and transparency can somehow lower the bar of age and suitability is silly. This is inherent contrary to the responsible practice of carefully screening minors for the maturity necessity to handle airsoft guns, because it's trying to de-escalate the airsoft guns so more minors can access airsoft guns without the same caution necessary with fully-opaque and non-flashy-coloured guns. The cart is now before the horse.

"Suitability" has nothing to do with the gun, or even age, and everything to do with the parents and their children. Suitable parents can take their children can go out on a range and shoot real firearms all day long without worry, they can hunt, they can play with full metal airsoft guns all day long. Parents and children responsible enough to have airsoft guns has no concern over the colour or there lack of, because they won't ever use the airsoft guns in an environment where it would be an issue.

Unsuitable parents and their children shouldn't even have a Nerf gun, much less airsoft guns.

Of course, the above assumes that this was done to protect the users from accidentally having their airsoft guns mistaken for the real thing. A real crazy idea would be that it's also being done to make airsoft guns seem more "paintball" and less scary to parents.

Reminds me of the Violent Crime Reduction Act in the UK.

This was done along time ago to RAP4 paintball markers. Because they sell paintball markers to the the military and LE they colour coded them so that the real thing would not be useed by accident in training. They also sell a series of "less lethal" markers that use can use a capsaicin II (chilli powder) to subdue an individual.

I don't see the big deal, they sold to anyone before, there is no difference other then color. they are still going to need the parents credit card so it will fall on the parents to keep up on there end, will they? definitely not. But that will never change, all we can do is try to encourage kids to play safe and give them the info to do so. Hopefully the goverment will get smart and put an 18+ ban everywhere.

This will only end badly

Interesting.

These new child guns are similar to the AEGs available to non UKARA registered airsofters in the UK. Where portions of the airsoft gun are brightly colored. It doesnt really change anything, parents may buy these for their kids but they may still buy the regular non brightly colored AEGs as well.

The only thing I know for certain is that we will have an is increase threads asking if these guns are any good.

So long as kids with a MFL can keep theres i'm all for it

[surebet]

God damnit...

So this is just a red handguard slapped on a regular gun? How the fuck does that change shit? It's still shooting full velocityé

At least the BOYS version shot 200ish

[Eeyore]

Is there any reason why someone can't just swap out the handguards?

[surebet]

Fuck all if it's regular sized

[DanoftheDead]

even if the handguard can't be swapped, paint is cheap and readily available to underagers. It doesn't matter, wait till these things are in wal-mart (if they aren't already).

[surebet]

After this dick move I think we all know what's left to do...
