94 kid…but use it as much themselves, it has been a rebirth for their expensive paintball marker that sits around unused as a dust collector, among others. Can the Morph Fire conversion be used for Airsoft? We’re hearing this question a lot. As it clearly states in our literature and engravings on the receiver, this is a bb gun and can produce velocities unsafe for airsoft play. Bear in mind that even paintball markers can be adjusted to dangerous even illegal velocities, that is why it is a holy grail ritual to chronograph all m arkers on all fields at all times as an international industry standard. Therefore, in a well regulated airsoft scenario where velocities were established and maintained at or below regulation standards, a field operator could safely and confidently choose to allow the Morph Fire to be used for force on January 2014 force gaming purposes on their property. Like with any paintball gun or airsoft gun I would never fire upon an individual or allow myself to be fired upon by any device that was not pre-established as operating within acceptable velocity/energy ranges. Can you give us a little history on how the Morph Fire came to be? I was 13 years old and saw my first full auto bb gun at the flea market. I HAD to have it any my father feeling a little weak that day indulged me. It actually used compressed Freon cylinders (god I hope there isn’t a hole in the ozone above my dad’s house) to charge the internal chamber and the only outlet was the barrel which would spew upwards of 2000 bb’s per minute. I loved it and played with it until I broke it. As awesome as it was… it was weak… and could give you frostbite in August! But alas, the full auto force was strong in me!
