So. Airsoft. There are many companies that make airsoft guns based on real-life weapons. Whould they have to go through some sort of licensing process in order to make those replicas? I was just wondering, that's all. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

I think what a lot of them do is make small changes and give them different names, like CS:S.

~SmackThere's one company that markets its M16 as the "M15", so I assume there are some licensing issues. The same ones that I think might have plagued many Perfect Dark Zero's weapons.
