To make the airsoft receiver function just like an AR-15’s, Gonnuscio said, “All you have to do is drill one hole.”

Allow me to be the first to call BS.

You might, and I do stress might, be able to get it to fire a single round, once. But it would be a plastic hand grenade.

So the Airsoft gun has a rifled barrel (.223) and a chamber that will tolerate the pressure? I don’t think so.

The lower receivers cannot be matched to an AR upper. I read an article about this recently and talked to my machinist about it. This is one of those “all it takes is one drilled hole” whacko leftist tirades that is impossible to prove. And even if Gonnuscio could make it work, would he be the one firing the first shot?

Idiot!

OTOH, some AK variants with stamped receivers could be drilled to accept another body bolt, but you would have to purchase a conversion kit, something controlled by ATF, to make it full auto. This is probably where this r-tard got his idea.

SOSDD... re-treading old Brady lies.

That’s all the ATF cares about: it can fire ONCE.

Getting a "receiver to function" and getting a device to complete a full firing cycle more than once on a single trigger pull are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

A gun works well because it has a multiplicity of processes melded together for that purpose. A single process doesn't turn a chunk of plastic into a machinegun.

I think it is BS, too, but this particular Airsoft rifle has a lower receiver made of zinc.
