A Palastinian entered into the British consol in Tel-Aviv armed with a airsoft Glock 17.
he took 3 hostages and asked for a political shelter in a europian country.
after 3 hours of negotiation the SWAT team assaulted to building and found him holding the toy gun. lol

Yeah, that is a real risk when playing with toy guns.How many people in here live in areas that require orange tips or other such safety restrictions?

We don't have any rules about orange tips (UK), at the moment but the goverment is thinking about what they want to do about airsoft at the moment so we may end up with something like this eventually.

We just play in areas where we are WAY away from anybody else, and the police know where we are. We aren't allowed to walk around with weapons unless we have a reason for it (ie, going to a game)

We do have a 1J rule (328FPS), don't you have energy limits? It strikes me that with the speeds your using (>600FPS you may as well start using real weapons because as you say, you have to pick the BB out of your skin!

Well, provided you get a Classic Army or Tokyo Marui, you could take hostages anywhere, neither of those companies put paint on the barrels(or the paint comes off easily)

Haha, too cheap? theyre like a buck?! =P

In canada we dont need them crazy blaze orange painted dealy. So its all good. Except we have stricter laws here and cant ship them in from another country. So airsoft is HELLUVA expensive here.
