The actual airsoft gun in question next to a real one.
Easy for me to differentiate. The one on the right is the toy.
I know that gun. The photographer purposely shot that low and with a wider than normal lens to make it look to be the same size as the real one.
The airsoft gun is 1/2 to 3/5 scale.
Same principle as when you hold out your fish in front of the camera to make it look bigger.
Complicit press.
No one with any experience would ever mistake that for the real thing, not to mention the LEOscum that shot the kid was a firearms "instructor". Even if it WAS a real firearm, there is no way in hell anyone with a smidgeon of sense would shoot someone JUST BECAUSE THEY HAPPENED TO POSSESS A FIREARM, a Constitutional Right!
Bloody hell! I own several replica handguns, used for many firearms training and familiarity excercises. They are physically incapable of firing any type of projectile (fake innards including no real barrel or firing pin) and these pieces of bollocks for brains claim that they are also somehow illegal? Time to upgrade to all-steel doors and bars on the windows then -and no bloody way am I going to admit to possessing any practice knives, chair or table legs, or bear pepper spray, either!
Can we have a side-by-side depiction of real cops vs the trigger-happy idiots. I bet they look just as similar.
It is idiotic to get an air gun that looks like a real military weapon unless you are looking to get yourself shot.
the cops broke off the red tip on the end of the barrel.
Look the guys left fingers are twice as big as his right fingers. Must be a lefty
