Not only SNIPER at an INDOOR CQB, but rigged up with the front/back gun and headcam rig to capture some cool stuff! See...if it is FIELD LEGAL for a CQB site, there is no reason a change in tactics couldn't work out in your favor, no matter what loadout and gun you decided to use! SPRINGERS RULE!

This will be the ONE IMAGE that captures the fate of Airsoft. It is a combination of all things wrong when your try to LEGISLATE and ENFORCE failed government policies. What we think: Airsoft is not a toy. Airsoft guns ARE GUNS. Toy guns that look like guns ARE GUNS. They should NEVER be in the hands of children without their parents/guardians present, and NEVER in a public setting like a park, playground, mall, SCHOOL or other un-controlled settings. Orange Tips won't solved the problem. More training for LEO's and armed citizens might...but only to the extent that airsoft can be kept out of the hands of people who will misuse it. We will always be rough on those who don't use due-diligence in securing their guns, keeping them from minors and not displaying them to a wary public before, during or after they are sold. Selling off-the-shelf needs to stop. Over the counter, to responsible adults only, and with warnings from responsible professionals at the time of sale. Tell us what YOU think.

"...Tamir Rice had an air gun that was “indistinguishable from a real firearm,” Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said at a press conference Monday. He said that he would support Reece’s bill and that officers often see such realistic-looking weapons on the streets.
“It is very dangerous to tell your police officers to shoot or don’t shoot someone based on the color of the gun,” he said.

Though Zhang didn't much have money to invest when he first met Palmer, the young entrepreneur appreciated Palmer's interest in his company and advice. And by the time the sale happened, Zhang said Palmer had become "a trusted advisor." So early last year, Palmer helped Zhang use a small chunk of his new wealth to start another company. Palmer is managing the remainder of it -- about $10 million...."
