I don't see how it's possible. You'd need to see if a real Glock slide can fit in the Airsoft copy and if the Airsoft copy can tolerate the shock of recoil from a real gun and not start cracking and fall apart. Also you'd need to find a way to attach the folding pistol grip and to adapt it to accept a real magazine. A gun is designed to tolerate the violent shock of the gun action. The Airsoft is really plastic, cheap plastic. I'd also want stupid people to avoid making it worse for the Airsoft community as it is. Anti guns have been encroaching on Airsoft as dangerous can tried to ban them since they are sour losers at the war on banning real guns. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 17:07, 25 August 2012 (CDT)

Do they sell airsoft versions of this weapon? - Kenny99 21:01, 13 August 2011 (CDT)

Are these actually made?

As one of these appears in the upcoming Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance movie, I was wondering if these were actually being made as I thought it was purely a prototype/demonstration gun and hadn't gone into production. This also got me wondering, anyone know if it would be possible to fit a blank firing glock into the airsoft FMG-9? I imagine this would be a bad idea with a live firing gun, but blanks have mush less recoil so though the airsoft copy could be able to handle it. Am just trying to work out how this gun can be in something live action, but suppose it could just be the airsoft version with CG firing effects but will have to wait for the movie to come out to be sure. --commando552 05:49, 29 January 2012 (CST)

Given it's just a fancy box with a Glock 18 in it, you could probably mock one up pretty easily, especially if you make the gun that opens and the gun that fires seperate props. Evil Tim 09:24, 24 August 2012 (CDT)
I looked into it and found people who put real Glocks into the airsoft version with a bit of modification. Not sure how sturdy they would be with live rounds, but I imagine they should hold up fine with blanks. --commando552 09:51, 24 August 2012 (CDT)
I don't really see it as being much of a problem as long as you don't brace the stock against your shoulder; after all, if you're using the Glock's grip then all that might break the shell is vibration damage. Evil Tim 03:21, 25 August 2012 (CDT)

Well the one seen in the movie seems to be an Airsoft. They show close ups of the magazine and you get see it's an Airsoft magazine. It doesn't seem like a good idea for someone to try and modify an Airsoft to shoot live ammo. Sound like it'll blow up in your face. Excalibur01 19:28, 24 August 2012 (CDT)

Well, it's not modifying the airsoft gun from scratch to fire live ammo, it's putting a Glock 18 in the airsoft shell. Jeddostotle7 10:44, 25 August 2012 (CDT)
