vi riporto la news:

BATFE: Airsoft GBB Rifles are real firearms.

Yet another one of BATFE's blunders regarding the legality of airsoft replicas and parts for airsoft use such as replica suppressors. B(ATF)E agents siezed a shippment od WE M4 GBBR's claiming that use of real firearms parts could transform it into a real, fully automatic firearm... Well, the staff and editors here at Airsoft-News.EU strongly disagree regarding BATFE's oppinion on this matter and lend our support to our US airsoft brothers in the successfull fight against this idiotic decision. What's next? Homeland Security raiding airsoft skirmishes and charging players with running and operating terrorist training camps?

TACOMA, Wash. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized a shipment of 30 machine guns that arrived in an ocean container at the Tacoma Seaport last October. Officials say the shipment of M-4 automatic rifles, manifested only as "Toys and Parts," was valued at nearly $10,000 and was shipped from a manufacturer in Taiwan. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms found that the rifles were tooled to shoot plastic balls, but replacement of internal components with original machine gun components would render the rifles capable of firing live ammunition.

Per i non-anglofoni traduco brevemente:

il Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (organo governativo di controllo su alcol, tabacco e armi) ha decretato che le GBB possone essere modificate in armi. Non ci sono informazioni sul blocco della vendita delle stesse ma sarebbe una conseguenza ovvia...

che diventi la fine della (breve) vita delle GBB???
