The moderators were all but chopping off the heads of reviewers for "inane," "ill-informed," "poorly written," "useless," etc. reviews. In fact, the forum requires members to follow a very rigid review formula (amusingly represented by the acronym ASS- Airsoft Satisfaction System, or some such pretentious name).

Made me feel pretty good about the behavior of all of us on this little diecast oasis

My son has a airsoft Thompson after much searching before x-mas. Now he wants a M-1 Carbine he saw online. I only wish they had them when I was a kid.
