Ok, so Airsoft guns (toys that shoot plastic BBs) are marked with red tips on the barrels

[flamin lib]

to identify them as non lethal toys. So why is Ruger marketing this???

[mwrguy]

1. Easy

To kill kids.

2. too make it look like a fake gun - gun makers are a part of a terrorist cabal

3. Simply

stirring the pot, so to speak.

4. So that cops can continue to shoot little kids playing with water

pistols and BB guns while claiming they thought the kid had a Ruger. Why else?

5. It looks like an image of a Ruger Mark III .22 handgun.

Do you have a link that provides more information, especially context?

6. It was an advertizment. nt

[Snobblevitch]

8. That's what I thought.

It appears to be a cutaway to ahow features inside the handgun. I do not believe Rugsr is making gun with red parts in order to make it look like a toy.

9. No, it's not. It is advertized as 'red anodized'. nt

10. That is not an image of a real gun.

It is a computer generated graphic the show the inside of the gun. Here is a link to a similar image that is blue.

The 'red anodized' is referring to grips that are available and the are actually rust colord and not really red, certainly not the red in the image you posted.

11. Read your own link. Under 'finish' is blue anodized, one of several options including red.

There's nothing about grips and both images have standard black grips. There are no optional grips illustrated.

If you still refuse to believe that Ruger is marketing a gun with a red anodized barrel please don't bother to reply.

12. Did you look at the image.

Ruger is not selling a gun which cannot function.

[flamin lib]

13. I'm tired of this. You are apparently either intentionally being obtuse or

or you really know absolutely nothing about firearms. The link below shows a variety of finishes for the 22/45 which functions pretty dam well.

If it's not enough to see it directly on the Ruger site, try this link to a review of the gun that functions pretty dam well. But don't take my word for it, take the word of Jeff Quinn.

Now please just go away. Go away mad if you want, I don't give a shit.

[Snobblevitch]

14. I stand corrected.

What a ridiculous looking gun.

7. Airsoft guns are marked with bright orange tips, not red.
