Where would you think the demarcation age line is for this? About 40y?

Funny -
The proof Airsoft toys can fire real bullets. REAL BULLETS, FROM A CLIP AND EVERYTHING!
The trick is you have to whack the gas tube twice - not once, and not three times - with a pair of pliers and lube the upper with Chapstick.
Off to Walmart for an Airsoft AR15. I hope they won't get suspicious if I buy Chapstick at the same time.

Well, gentlemen, I am only 51 and I remember watching that show with my parents. I certainly didn't know what a Bippie was at that time, but I do remember hearing my dad use it for may years after that.WildBill wrote:Maybe, but I was thinking that my sister was around 8 years old when we watched the show.

I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.

I'd like to see him try and fire that.
Re: ATF agent says airsoft gun can be converted to fire real bullets
So, looking at it again. The whole thing is a joke. He even says so in the description.

I heard they are going after sling shots next, because they can be converted to grenade launchers.
