Avenger: I'm sorry, but that is probably one of the more goofy things I've seen you post so far.

KJW, Tokyo Marui, KSC, etc have been happily selling Glocks for years now.

And in our daily news report of tin foil hat airsofting, we bring you a brilliant post about the dangers of the airsoft replica Glock...

Hear that guys? Since people have been smoking weed for years now, it won't destroy your brain cells and immune system anymore!

Just because something has happened for a long time, doesn't mean that it makes it less wrong.

So even though you have been posting for a while, does it make your post any more right?

ARey, if you actually sat down and thought about it, if they have been selling Glock replicas FOR YEARS now... don't you think Glock's legal would have already done your doomsday legal dance? I mean seriously.. what about EoTech and Aimpoint?, VLTOR and Troy, and all of the other hundreds of companies whos products have become airsoft toys?

And here we see a completely opposite and totally different issue applied in a horrible attempt at supposed logic.


You know.. Its like AR is trying to troll us, but failing because we all think he is serious and therefore completely idiotic.

I don't troll on airsoft forums, and I'm not an idiot. Do you seriously think that something is a good idea because it's been going on for years? Because that's the only justification I have seen so far.

Glock sent KWA a cease and desist letter, so KWA stopped selling Glocks. There was never a lawsuit. Glock did not pursue any legal action with anybody else, and still hasn't said anything further in the two years since the KWA letter. Therefore, they do not have an issue with these Japanese, Taiwanese, and Chinese Glocks.

How's that for justification?

Much better. All I have heard(from a multitude of people on teh interwebz) is that Glock said that making replicas was a no-no. however, if they never put it in writing legally, I guess that the people who've shared their opinions were biased in some way, or just uneducated.

A wise man once said something like this: Its better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are smart, than to open it and confirm that you are not.

The internet, where people are blindly biased and overly exagerate everything. For some reason, people either hate, or love Glocks, there seems to be no middle ground. So, as with anything, the people who hate glocks make their voices better heard, rumors start, and stories get passed along, until Glock hates everything and anything under the sun that isn't Glock and will sue the snot out of anyone and everyone who even thinks about a picture of a Glock.

This is obviously not true, but things get blown out of proportion. Airsoft glocks have been produced for some 20 years now, and they are still being produced. It's not likely to stop any time soon.

Wow, that is saying a lot.
You name a game, I've been to it.

If I've banned you, then you have more than likely deserved it.

If I deleted a post it didn't need to be there or I simply didn't like it.
