WARNING! STAY AWAY FROM THE RONI G1 AIRSOFT COPY ON THE MARKET !!!


First of all, I want to say that I personnaly own a REAL EMA Roni G1:

On the following picture, you can see on the top, an airsoft copy and on the bottom, a real EMA/CAA Roni G1:

Here's the story about my tests with an airsoft copy for a friend of mine.

My friend wanted to buy something like my EMA Roni G1 but wanted to pay less after we found this "deal" on this topic:
http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=669640

The "roni" on the last link is an airsoft copy available for 125$ CAD instead of an original EMA/CAA Roni G1 that costs around 350-400$ CAD.

At first, we thought it really looked like the real one and we've made a comparison between the two, available here:
http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6448657&postcount=261

At first, we were pretty sure that the copy would endure thousand of rounds of 9mm... WE WERE FAR FROM THE TRUTH! :rolleyes:

Today, we decided to put all his optics, iron sights, laser on his Roni "airsoft" copy and go to the range to zero all that...

After shooting around a 100 rounds of 9mm (124gr.), the airsoft copy (from this thread) literally exploded in my hands!!! :eek:

The last 2 rounds I fired, before it explode, I start feeling some intense heat on my left supporting hand (maybe from the muzzle flash).
For a second, I was wondering why it was doing that... And finally, at the last round...

BOOM... IT BLEW IN MY FACE: :sok2
(I WAS REALLY LUCKY TO WEAR MY SAFETY GLASSES!!!)

You guys SHOULD BE REALLY CAUTIOUS when shooting your Roni airsoft copy and also be aware of any changes or signs of stress, when shooting it.

This kind of defects in the plastic shell are making me nervous as it can blow in your face anytime. It is really not the same quality and strength as an original Roni G1...

BOTTOM LINE: BUY ONLY THE ORIGINAL RONI... STAY AWAY FROM THESE AIRSOFT COPIES!

I'm just glad Z is okay. I hope others read this and stop using theirs (many CGN's purchased these copy kits). I would hate to see someone get hurt, or even an anti try and show how "dangerous" our hobby is.

I can see the headline now....

Assault gun, wrapped in an assault rifle chassis maimes people at range, CFO to investigate.

Anyone who has them should take a hammer to them or keep them as decoration only.
 
If an accident or injury can be prevented it should. Thanks ZReturns for your thread and explanations.
I agree with 1 of 38. my preference would be to see them either destroyed or sold as used to the airsoft market.
HeadDamage; that is the funniest sh1t I've seen in quite a while....I'm still grinning Laugh2:
 
I am confused how could you shoot real ammo in a toy gun in the first place and why would anybody try.

A airsoft gun dosn't have a fireing pin just a piston to compress the gas or air to fire the pellet.

Because the airsoft copy really look like the original roni... That's why! :rolleyes:

What we're thinking at the first place, is that the plastic in what the airsoft copy was made, was as good as the original roni in terms of temperature and stress resistance. It appears it was not... :cool:
 
I wouldnt say you got ripped off. You bought something intended for use in a toy and put it on a real gun. Something it was not designed for. I think at that point your assume all responsibility for what happens.

A lot of people would have known that already.... ;) The price difference should have been the first clue, and the "a-i-r-s-o-f-t" should have been the second clue.

Hopefully you can use this new-found wisdom to your advantage in future. The only semi-smart thing you did was to wear eye protection. Being clueless AND blind would be a heck of a state to be in... :D

What's being discussed isn't a firearm. It's a "holder" that a firearm fit's into, turning the pistol into a "carbine type" device. It allows one to shoulder a pistol. With added red dot, I've had success knocking out bulls at 50m :eek: something I would never be able to do free hand w my Glock. {I'm no pro-shot:redface:}
Now; mine is a Roni and these others looked identical, almost. But as has already been stated it's not a safe alternative.
 
And people wonder why the police reach opinions as to why some airsoft guns are "prohibited" . I understand it is only a cover accessory to a restricted handgun, but as long as people persist in using this type of cosmetic conversion or in some cases modify an airsoft or blank firing guns made of plastic and zinc or aluminum castings that go bang one then blow up the police will reach opinions to ban these sort of cool and neat items.

Was this in fact a police test no made public? Likely not, but police making such findings and then publicizing the result would not be unusual (as long as the method of conversion was kept secret).
