Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa GBB Outer Barrel Safety Orange Tip

The purpose of the orange safety tip on the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa GBB outer barrel is to visibly distinguish it as a toy or imitation firearm, not a real weapon. 

This is a critical safety feature and a requirement under U.S. federal law for the sale, importation, and transportation of airsoft guns. 

Key functions and considerations of the orange tip:

• Public Safety: It serves as an immediate visual signal to law enforcement and the public that the item is a non-lethal toy, preventing dangerous misunderstandings that could arise if it were mistaken for a real firearm.

• Legal Compliance: The federal law, specifically 15 U.S. Code § 5001, mandates that imitation firearms have a permanently affixed orange plug or tip for commercial sale and shipping across state lines.

• Safety Precaution: Even if local laws permit its removal after purchase, it is highly recommended to keep the orange tip on when transporting or displaying the airsoft gun in public to avoid potentially life-threatening situations.

• State-Specific Laws: Some states and cities, such as California, have stricter laws that require the orange tip (or a brightly colored exterior) to remain on the airsoft gun at all times.
