The Truth about the A&K Full Metal 8919 Spring Pistol

This is My Review of the A&K Full Metal 8919 Spring Pistol

Well as many of you know I love spring pistols and sotguns, they are
my favorite type...
Now I recently had cash to blow so I bought this...
http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_42&products_id=30162

This gun is great, decent fps, full metal, hey I even put on a jacket
and had my friend shoot me and it kinda stung.


Pros;
Extremely Nice feeling (full metal)
Cheap ($13)
Fairly Hard Hitting (Around 300 fps)
Fairly good mag capacity (15 rounds)

Cons;
Mag is Cheap (not that bad but I'm gonna be careful)
It's Spring (But I like it)


Overall;
Great buy, especially if you dont like gas or AEP or you or your child is just getting into airsoft and wants a decent gun...

Coming Up;
My Review of my next spring purchase...

Good Job I Commend You!

This is such a well done news report or whatever you call it in New Zealand, I commend you!

But one thing disturbs me, the laws in New Zealand state that they consider automatic airsoft guns as "machine guns." Don't let that come to the good ol' USA...

Airshots?

Look the dad brings up many good points, but the person who wrote this report, why is he/she so biased, and frankly uninformed!
What next "Paint-shot-ball-shooters banned in Mas."
Airshots? Airsoft dear airsoft...

Fox News,the Best of Best?

Now I love Fox News, but this is a little disturbing;

Even though bringing up several good points they say two big errors;
(Look, I admit, I'm nitpicking!)

Ok first off, the "bad-guy" has every intention of blocking out orange tips, but the funny thing is, most airsoft guns are more expensive than real guns! At least the ones that look real. So why would a "bad-guy" buy these?

"Who Buys these Things?"
"Who buys these things unless they are going to hold up a bank, is there a market for that?"
No, people that like to play a Milsim type game that normally have no intention, of robbing banks...
What she is saying here is that she believes only people that will rob banks and stick up 7-11's will buy these, now it makes me wonder if there just reporting or they are writing this themselves, because it they are just reporting I have a "beef" with the writer.

Here's just a Story I Heard...

A 12 year old boy was playing with his airsoft plastic "pellet-gun"{ shooting plastic pellets at trees and street signs when one bounced off a sign and hit a passing car. The woman driver called the police but since there was no damage she did not want to be a victim. San Bruno Police still arrested the innocent boy for shooting the projectile.

Now it seams like sometimes Police do unnecessary things, the disablement and confiscation of guns is a perfect example, anyone can see it a toy just by removing the magazine or looking at the unusually small barrel! Other times they do what is right.
Like this, completely reasonable take the guns away!

Here's a Comment on the story...
I would wonder about his parents. My kids played with toy guns too and they never shot anyone. The projectiles they used though didn't go very far and they CERTAINLY didn't " bounce off trees and hit street signs." they were not allowed to just shoot at anything; plastic or no.( by the way, by 12--they'd stopped "playing" with toy guns and went on to more grown up activities.) If the pellets are powerful enough to do bounce off things and keep going, they are powerful enough to do a little damage, like put a persons eye out. This is not to mention that a driver if they hear something hit their windshield, won't know immediately that they are being fired upon by a "kid" with a toy.
Here's a comment on this story;
The fact is that this "kid", SHOULD have known better. He certainly is old enough. 12 is just 1 year before becoming a teen! It's not like he was 6.

I don't think the idea was petty. The cops probably wanted to teach the kid a valuable lesson.

My Thoughts
Even though bringing several VALID points up, this mom believes the Police wanted to teach the child a lesson! Is that there jobs! You can answer yourselves.
And Mom, if I was going to arrest your child just to teach him a "lesson" something parents or legal guardians should do BTW, would you be angry? So don't just brush it off... Because now it's not just about airsoft, it's about the end or parental responsibility!
