| Do you know how much custom work had to be into that to get that gun to look like that though. | |

| I don't think this is for players, I think its more for stores as a display piece. Think how much easier it would be to sell a product if people really saw what was inside that $150 hunk of metal/plastic that they were buying.
Oh BTW thats a airsoft surgeon version, which have a crap ton of upgrades put into it. That slide alone is sold anywhere from $50-$100 depending on the seller.
Its really cool, just not $700 cool...... Oh LW are yo talking about the hi-cappa for airsoft or the RS version(2011)?

| airsoft version. Sorry if "real" confused you.
but yea, it is kind of ridiculous for a non-working version. If I owned a small shop it would be "psh, i'll take it apart for you right here. OR YOUTUBE FTWzord" | |

| Very true LW if you owned an airsoft shop you could probably take one apart yourself instead of spending $700 for something thats just going to collect dust. | |

| I would rather buy a crappy used car than that, or maybe a REAL airsoft gun. Seriously, I doubt any practicality in that. Besides, simply disassemble your gun if you want to check out the internals, no need for that. | |

| Its more the labor that went into making it. But it was a impractical move on part of this company because I bet only a few retailers/shop owners are going to buy it to show off the gun in their store. But your average airsofter is going to be "psh..Butchered 1911" They'll end up spending more then making the d's. | |
