1) To make money - modelgun makers know too well that many of us will fall for the dummy version anyway so they'll earn more; 2) Still many problems for firing actions that's why CAW decides to release whatever they can make at the moment... I strongly believes my first assumption though... | |

| I'm afraid I will agree with jim...
It's much easier to make a model out of plastic. Less tooling, less manual labour, not to mention less legal issues.
Dummy is also far easier to make than proper engineering for a cap-firing blowback model.
How I wish that Tanio Koba would cooperate with CAW on mechanisms... | |
