I'll believe an air-soft gun can fire live ammo just as soon as they find someone stupid enough to test fire that plastic toy with it.
But if they insist these can be converted to fire live ammo enough times, people will start to believe it.
That is how propaganda is spread.
Just like opening car doors with tennis balls and eating pop rocks and coke...
Spread a myth long enough, and someone will believe it... Sadly.
It's ok though. We can trust these people to keep us safe. That's why they have that job right? They've proven themselves to be the best in their positions right?
Sigh...
Edit to add:
Re: txinfidel,
No matter how impressive they are, a plastic gun with a plastic barrel would not be able to contain the pressures created by live ammo.
Not to mention the feeding, extracting, trigger mechanisms, receiver... it just couldn't be done... You would literally be building an AR from scratch. Which you can do...

"...which included a hello kitty bubble maker and a piece of paper that looked like a gun...
You flash those damned weapons and people are looking at you like YOU are the next Hurricane Katrina or Sandy Hook Killer. You should have all just shut up and stopped acting so macho in public. Compare cocks and guns out in the woods like you used to. Now the govt. is onto the fact that most of you are complete nuts who care more about guns than kids, and that you think the govt. is your sacred enemy! They are already watching all your little play groups. And if you keep pushing this they WILL take your guns away, and there aren't enough of you to stop them. Idiots! You don't #ing fight the POWER with bragging words and brandishing weapons! This will go badly for you.

I didnt watch the video...but it is true that parts of these guns can be converted and used as real weapons...its how a lot of felons have been getting away with being able to possess a firearm...unless they changed the law....as for the quality of the weapon after converted i dont think they are very good.
I support guns.....but just giving my two cents off your statements...

ATF Oh noes it's the. You can't drink, smoke, and shoot firearms police. Can be converted he say's, but you have to file a freedom of information act to find out more. ROFL.
So if I paint the end of a real AR-15 with orange paint will it be a Air-Soft?

I have a DPMS Airsoft. Same weight and feel of a AR. It's made of metal for the most part. The thing is, the lower is a actual AR lower. Give me some parts and I drill one hole in it and I have a actual AR15.

I researched this story a while ago and it isn't as far fetched as it might sound. This guy explains it pretty well.
