I was going to call you on miss identifying that little blue assault weapon in the lower right.  However, I quickly remembered that it has a front clip and a rear clip ...

clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip   ;D

AWSOME!!!  

I've heard many of those referances myself.  Especially the one on any kind of optic producing a "deadly accurate" weapon.  ::)

The posters leave off Airsoft guns.

I can't find it at the moment, but I do remember a PD press conference after they nabbed a particularly dangerous potential felon and proudly displayed his arsenal. Over the dozen or 18 weapons displayed, I think all but 2 were Airsoft guns.
