by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

i know that a lot of airsoft guns are nearly exact replicas of real guns, full metal too. so lets say an airsoft retailer is selling a folding stock for a M16 airsoft gun, could i buy that stock and put it on a real M16? flash suppressors? iron sights? grips?

  1. Keep in mind most of those parts made for airsoft rifles are not meant to tolerate the recoil of a high-powered rifle. Certain stuff you are probably okay with, but things like optics, sights, and flash suppressors I would definitely stay away from.


  2. It's all available these days, check out this site.

    It's got all the bell's and whistles you're looking for.

  3. no

    not all metals are equal.  Most airsoft is made from weak metals, most firearms are made with very strong steels.  This is why airsoft guns cost so much less than real firearms, that and exact tollerances.  Even accessories must be made rugged enough to take large amounts of abuse as the gun recoils, as well as being 'combat strong'

    airsoft just doesn't cut it.

  4. NO !!! they are built to lower specs and would break instantly , probably resulting in injury or death .Don't do it.

  5. Probably not. Why does an airsoft have a flash suppressor?

  6. no, and its a retarded idea.

  7. yes

  8. I would say it is unsafe to do that, actual firearms parts are designed and tempered to be mounted on real firearms because some parts will have to stand a lot of stress.  Maybe the replica part in question might not handle with the tolerances of the real part.

    The only reason there would be a flash suppressor on an airsoft gun would be strictly for looks. BTW

  9. It wouldn't be the BEST idea neccisarilly....because of the REPLICA part. But maybe...

  10. probably thosee things but nothing more airsoft is ment for air so it may have a different affect if some of the major parts were used

  11. Sometimes people put the cheapo airsoft red-dot sights on their guns for plinking. Anything else, especially stuff like internals, is just asking for failure.

  12. no

  13. Where would you get a real M-16 in the first place?
