Beyond the main topic of the article, in the comments section I notice some folks talking about BG's painting the muzzles of real guns orange to gain some kind of advantage, i.e., a delay in response. I always thought I was clever when rid my Airsofts of the ugly orange tip but I never considered the reverse. (I'd never make a good bad guy I guess.)
Is this actually happening? BG's are painting real guns???

In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

I was aware of the idea 10 years ago. Still not a good one though.

I took a Givens class in South Carolina last year. It was held at a police range. T
here was a wall of things to look out for, it included a photo of a pump shotgun painted to look like a super-soaker water gun (purple and lime green).
Even if it was not true, the police certainly believe it is.
Haven't we had a couple of court rulings in the subject already where use of force was justified against a realistic looking weapon, even if it turned out to be a toy? Seems pretty simple to me. Point a gun at some stranger and run the risk of getting dead.
This threads more about real guns painted to look like toys.Originally Posted by TAZ

There was some dumb fool a couple years ago open carrying an AK pistol with the tip painted orange claiming that it might prevent cops from shooting him...
The Super soaker thing eas actually a colored shotgun inside a hollowed our super soaker iirc. There was a while PDF out there full of that stuff.

Even worse
I've seen weapons alerts going back 10-15 years regarding real handguns being painted orange and lime green to create hesitation when confronted by LE. If I recall correctLy in addition to the shotgun painted in super soaker colors, the was another SRT regarding a pistol grip moss erg 500 which was concealed inside a gutted super soaker shell.
I'll just leave this right here.
