Air Rifle Captain here. .22 or .177 ? .22 has been wiped out. My team was the last batch to experience the National Competition in .22 Should try the .17...

i mean if ban those replicas, then i wun mind. but there r some guns out there like bb guns with a significant mark to them, showing that they r not real guns. for example, bb guns have this orange cap on the barrel, which makes them look like toys

anyone here agree with me? ban real guns n similar replicas, but not significant toys which look like de real thing...

The very possibility of someone bringing that to rob a bank doesn't really tempt the manager to discard the airsoft as a fake. But than again, firearms are banned in Singapore.

There is a possibility of modifying them in some way or the other to increase firepower.

I don't agree bb guns/airsoft should be banned. Perhaps an age limit to those who handle those items would be good, or impose fine, should the owner cause injuries to people, or confine the airsoft at home.

Parka SG

Would the age limit work? Don't really think so. Just look at smoking and drinking.

audix SG

why we want to hav a airgun at home?

SHODAN SG

SHODAN SG

age limit wun work, but mayb impose fines n capital punishment for pple whu injure others with airgun

Flight Cadet Officer SG

cigarettes are different. firearms, you require certificate, signature, authorisation, so on. lots of documentations.

Flight Cadet Officer SG

haha

Parka SG

Yesh. But it's still dangerous. It may not be you, it may be someone else who's going to use that thing.

Parka SG

We mustn't forget that we live in a strange world. And strange people do strange things.

Flight Cadet Officer SG

refer to the above possible law for airsoft.

sgboy2004 SG

then too late liao...the person might hav died as a result, then how? Will be charged for murder u know.

Flight Cadet Officer SG

the pellet is design in a way that it loses kinetic energy after first 10m. it is also designed to break into pieces when hit upon hard surface. protective gears are also provided. death cannot occur with the use of airsoft. simply because it is designed that way

Flight Cadet Officer SG

sad to say, should that be true, 90% in population of the world would be strange.

70% in population of the US will be weird, as firearms are legal for personal protection purposes.

sgboy2004 SG

u never know...the person got hit and fell over the railings and down 10 storey of the block...

Flight Cadet Officer SG

haha. just watched final destination yesterday.

thats a posibility too. Cool

Parka SG

There are things worst than death, sometimes.

Parka SG

Things happen when you least expect them to.
