Federal Agents Seize Toy Gun That Can Be Converted Into Semi-Automatic Weapon

Now this would make for an interesting foreseeable misuse case. Federal authorities are reporting a toy pellet gun is being converted into a semi-automatic weapon for gang members.

The popular recreational pellet gun is propane-powered and used in some law enforcement activities. The ATF seized a shipment of 30 guns and insisted that they were intended for conversion.

One expert stated that for such conversion to function like an AR-15 requires only the drilling of one hole.
Notably, the cost of conversion can be over $1000 — more than an AR-15 but avoiding background checks.
