Talk:Airsoft gun

SoftAir

In the begining of the article, in the part about softair guns, it should be kept that Cybergun manufacturers it as SoftAir.

Merger

No merger. Airsoft got its Good Article status removed cause it was too long, so these pages were made. They should stay. --UNHchabo 04:50, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, besides issues of article length, I feel the two concepts are different and separate enough; one is the sport and the other the gun/toy which many people buy or use without participating in the sport. Deon Steyn 06:23, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BB guns

I thought the section was useful, as it provided a distinct difference between airsoft guns and BB guns. Otherwise people might get the misconception that they are the same thing, or that BB guns are ok to use in airsoft games. Reply here if you disagree. --UNHchabo 04:03, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing parts about BB guns that don't relate to airsoft, i.e. how they work.

Misconceptions

That said, a certain Asahi M700 airsoft rifle was produced in 1993, and it was possible to convert it to fire real .22 rounds. Upon discovery of this,
all M700's were recalled back for destruction, and 40 were unaccounted for. Production of the Asahi M700 has been stopped since. This is the only
airsoft rifle in the world to date that can be converted to fire live ammunition.

I took out this section unless someone can come up with a verifiable source. --UNHchabo 18:03, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen pics where people have converted a AUG to fire fire .22's. However, a .22 was needed as part of the project, so the the airsoft component was little more than the outer shell.WikiMan78 06:33, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The notion of MPEG

I think that the name "MPEG" was a confusing misnomer since it was used for the first time. The so-called MPEGs are in fact normal AEGs, but of sometimes lower quality. Instead of using it, we should mention them in the main AEG definition. -- Mike West--84.10.20.238 18:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
