Search Dogs find Airsoft guns...how?

[ike]

I'm guessing it has to do with trace amounts of propane, perhaps?

...One airsoft gun confiscated on Thursday is modeled after a Tech-9--a rapid-fire, assault weapon used in the killings at Columbine...

Sensationalist comment aside - AFAIK - new tech 9s are springers - havent seen gas operated ones, unless its a classic airsoft pistol.

Yup that doggie could be sniffing out the propane - but wouldnt he go charging outside the kitchen and begin humping the massive tanks for the stove?

silicone oil, maybe?

i don’t really see how locked in some ones car qualifies as “grave danger”

“the sole feature distinguishing them from the real thing is an orange-coated tip on the gun barrel” that and they shoot plastic 6mm bb’s not metal 9mm bullets

Top-Roper, Ofcourse it's not grave danger while locked in someones car, it's when they pull it out to show thier friends or use it for a "funny joke". Also at school unless you wear glasses it does not matter if you shoot plastic BBs when you hit sombody in the eye you can make them blind for the rest of their life.
