Lee Enfield.

No, I mean like...a particular model? Was it a No. 4 or...?

I see. Don't you have to register it though? I thought airsoft guns were also nigh impossible to modify to fire real bullets. Unless it's one of those ICS MP5s or something, in which case it used to be a highly realistic MP5 replica shell with a sewing machine projectile launcher for it's guts.

You need a license too.

Lee enfield mark 4.

I see. Of course you need a license, but buying it is quick, I guess, once you have your permit for it...

It's all about who you know and doing favors.

BTW, you ever fired an M4/AR-15/etc.. Any assault rifle/carbine along those lines? Tis god fun.

I've fired a tommy gun. I am a WW2 gun nut, the recoil on them is highly annoying.

I've fired an M1 Garand..Nothing special really, but a nice gun nonetheless. Tommy Gun is on my list of things to fire.. :P

I've never fired a gun before. Really want to though because I like guns.

So in effect, he has a gun that looks like a Mp-5, but shoots .22 rounds instead.

The only difference is that the round ejection port is in the stock of the gun, along with the magazine holder. If you look closely you'll probably see the magazine sticking down from the stock, near my shoulder.

All said, it's incredibly awesome, very accurate out to 100 yards, and actually pretty damn quiet, it's almost like it's actually silenced!

And it's legal too.

Better picture of the ejector port + magazine:

Spoiler:

It is I.

Jesus Christ, that is AWESOME. I'd assumed you meant it was an MP5 knockoff, or an MP5 chambered in a different round or something. But an Airsoft frame with a .22 inside it? That's both nuts and righteous, in the Wayne's World sense.

It's not a captains uniform. It's an ACU with a captain rank on it.

The only time I'm not wearing a military uniform of some sorts is when I'm sleeping, getting ready for bed, or have just woke up. But seeing as how I rarely sleep, it also applies for when I should be sleeping but am not. For instance, It's 6:40 AM right now and I'm not in a military uniform. Just came down from a sleepless night.
