But because I don't like saying 'gun' for the paintball and airsoft markers, as to me they do not count as a REAL firearm, I say marker. On that note, it pisses me off beyond belief when I hear stories on the radio about some idiot kid being arrested for trying to rob a store using an airsoft gun. I cannot stand the stupidity of people who do paintball drive-by and airsoft robberies. It just ruins the already damaged reputation the sports have, and it's hard enough to go around with your gear without worrying about some jackass cop (no offence to them, they're doing their jobs with protection and whatnot) who breaks a $600 gun because he thinks it's a real gun without allowing you to prove otherwise, or in the case of two of my friends who were simply seen putting the markers in their cars by neighbors and suddenly get pulled over by authorities with their guns drawn. And yes, that actually happened. I don't take chances. Call them what you will, but it's 'markers' to me and they stay in a gun bag or case when they're not in use.

So what I'm getting from this is that you're one of those "our government is bad" people? I hate to be a dick, but please..if you do not like the way this country is run, feel free to move to somewhere you feel like it's being run well. Also if they're markers to you.. then why call it a "gun bag" and not a "marker bag"?
Also, with regard to you calling that cop a "jackass" for breaking a $600 dollar gun, as someone who is going into the law enforcement field I can definitely justify the officer doing so. I'm not going to risk my life just because some kid says "officer its fake". If they have guns drawn, it's for a damn good reason. Its your friends' fault for being stupid and exposing the paintball marker. Don't look for someone else to blame for your mistake.
Do yourself a favour, get used to calling it an airsoft gun.
