Crosman Airsoft Stuff

Even though I am a filthy godless anti-gun liberal, I also have a son who enjoys all things firing.

Has anyone used the ‘shotgun’ or seen it in action? I guess I can’t really wrap my mind around how it operates.

What is the advantage of getting an Airsoft gun vs. just a regular BB gun?

I’m pretty damn sure these aren’t officially licensed by the USMC. We aren’t in a habit of doing that.

You would be wrong.

But I appreciate your service, Marine.

You know what they say, it’s a new Army… err… Marines. :slight_smile:

Thank you for your service.
I like this page better:

Other than the main difference of appearance with the guns - airsoft being more like replicas of real firearms, one shoots plastic BBs and the other shoots metal BBs farther and with more velocity.

edit- helpful link perhaps:

Do you even know what a gun is?

I’m betting that has never happened,and won’t either.

Not to bum everyone out, but it does happen, with alarming regularity.

hmm…those occurred in NY and CA…which both have firearms restrictions beyond those imparted by the feds. i’m not sayin’, i’m just sayin’.

All three Stinger airsoft guns here have good reviews. I already own a Stinger P311 that is very accurate,reliable and can put a hole in a pop can at 30 feet with .25 BBs. They are called Stingers for good reason. In for one shotgun and one pistol. These will be great for CQB where an AEG airsoft would be too much power.

3 times in the last 19 years? That is alarmingly regular.

Three inner-barrels, you filthy lib! Kidding. About the filthy lib, no three inner barrels. So when your son works the action by pumping the gun, it compresses the spring and loads the BBs into each barrel to be fired. They make them up to 5 barrels. The shotgun is the only offering here worth buying. I used to play competitive adult airsoft, and the shotgun is the only thing from this sale that would’ve shown up at one of our games.

Those are just the first three I found on Google. Further search turns up incidents in Florida, Colorado, Virginia, and Ohio, just in 2012. There have been incidents in Tennessee, Mississippi, and one this year already in Missouri.

Toy guns that look like guns may cause someone to get shot by someone because it looks like a real gun. I’m not advocating restrictions on these, but people need to use some common sense and educate their kids when buying these toys.
