I have never understood the idea of painting the tip of an Airsoft Gun Orange.
If a Criminal wanted the Police to think he had an Airsoft Gun rather than a real Firearm, he could simply paint the tip of the Barrel Orange to gain the advantage over any Officer he might encounter while committing a Crime.
Maybe it’s me, but it just looks like Liberal Idiocy in practice.
When a cop feels threatened by what appears to me a gun, he is trained to three tap center mass. Lesson learned, don’t threaten a cop with a weapon that appears to be a real gun.
I have thought about that too.
Eventually I decided that nearly all criminals want you to know it is a real gun. If they are using it to threaten you then they don’t want you to think it is a fake.
If they are shooting at someone then you know it is not a toy.

Criminals routinely alter the orange ring on replicas so that victims believe that the weapon is an actual firearm.
