Re: This is why Airsoft gets a bad name....due to idiots like this
Yes and no really...
There's no mention of Airsoft, so for all we know, it could have been an air pistol, blank firer or something, so there's nothing to tarnish Airsoft in that article
However, the whole issue of RIFs hits peoples' radar again...

Suspended prison sentence, 100 hours unpaid work and licence endorsed! FFS! He should have done time! WTF!
Angry
. I like guns, a lot, but I do not like innocent people being scared and menaced. At all.

Agree with prison , they should come down hard on people who think it's fun to do this rubbish , they have scared people , who will now be against anything weapon like and how much police time has been wasted not to mention the potential for armed units getting involved

Prison? You're kidding? If multiple offenders no longer get jailed, banned drivers just get banned, and so on, then what hope have we of crimes like this being punishable by jail?
There's just no deterrent for crime anymore...

Re: This is why Airsoft gets a bad name....due to idiots like this
I know twats get away with stuff nowadays but they shouldn't is my point. If not prison then mental hospital, either or.
And there's a distinct lack of explanation from him too: He saw two girls he liked the look of and then decided to threaten and scare them. Is it just me or is that not creepy as fuck? He bears looking at in a great deal more detail you ask me.
And in this climate too. My Dad just had his shotguns and licence (temporarily) taken by the cops because our neighbours from hell lied maliciously through their teeth - but they'll get away with that, nowadays any fantasist, lier or bullshitter can scream "gun" and the police will do their bidding (temporarily at leat). But this arse scares the hell out of two completely innocent girls and is still free. Makes my blood boil.
There's something gone very wrong with our police.

Completely ignoring everything: "The fake gun was also fitted with a laser in the barrel."

Oh yeah, me too and this is why local papers are dying out - they're even shittier than the national press. I suppose that it
might
actually have had one stuffed in the barrel - this guy seems stupid enough!

Re: This is why Airsoft gets a bad name....due to idiots like this
think the bloke got off lightly on this one! sounds like he was just being an absolute idiot maybe trying to 'impress' people with the fact he had a replica gun, instead scared the crap out of them, had no idea of the long term repercussions to someone else's mental health, in fact he probably needs to be checked for instability issues himself for doing this! either that or there were narcotics involved which have not been published.
What a complete douch bag!

Yeah I know there was no mention of Airsoft but was more referring to a RIF. And if a RIF hits the headlines then it's us Airsofters that get the finger pointed

Even if it's nothing to do with airsoft doesn't mean the press and politicians won't go barking up the wrong tree.
