BBTS has added a statement about modifying MP-05 Megatron to have orange tips on the gun barrel (and silencer if included) on the preorder page here. In summary, in order to prevent seizure by US Customs for non-compliance, every MP-05 BBTS sells will be opened and either painted or plugged (yet to be determined) to provide the requisite 6 mm of bright orange at the end of the barrel. The relevant portions of the US Code are provided at the end of the statement. In other news, toy smugglers are preparing for a new market .....
