wow.....just wow. How does that fall into the category of electronics. Kudos to you Fry's. Anyways, I think it's both good and terrible. Thats going to attract alot of newbish attention, and soon we could have a situation like paintball where any ass can pick up a gun, call himself 1337, and be done with it. But it will also attract some good attention I think, so I guess we'll just have to see.

Guys I would have to say this is VERY bad! I HIGHLY doubt that Fry's is going to restrict sales to 18+. So now were going to have even more minors getting their hands on these things and doing something stupid resulting in their getting hurt, killed or prosecuted. Now before you jump all over me about the minor's thing let me just say I don't mean all minor's, just those who aren't mature enough to handle these things in a responsible manner.

I agree. If gun stores start selling them I'd be happier, but not at Fry's. SportsMart sells KWC Deagles, but they are in the case like the rest of the pellet guns.

Desert Eagle, please!  Anyone from IMI would beat you so badly if you called it a 'Deagle'.  That sounds like some sort of Doberman/Beagle crossbreed.

This is bad news.  Now, if they were bright pink springers that looked like waterguns, it wouldn't be as bad.  But it's all fun and games into someone loses an eye... or gets capped.

Yeah i figured this would mean more bad then good. I mean they are sitting with the rest of the toys and video games. They are low powered springers but im sure someone out there will find away to hurt them selfs with it. I really want airsoft to grow but only if it grows in a postive way. I taland I'd love to work with you again, amiguito!

I was down at Frys Electronics yesterday picking up a DVD burner and i walked down a random isle. I was walking along and something cought my eye. A toy gun at first glance so i walked a little further and another one catchs my eye. This time is a mini m16 i think. Much to my amazement they where selling airsoft springers / minis. Yes i know you would never goto Frys to pick up you next AEG but i think that says something for the growth of airsoft. Now if this is a good thing or bad is kinda up in the air but i just had to stop and laugh when i saw that.
