Having been involved with this shoot from its conception, through filming and post, here's what I would like to input:
1) ALL airsoft guns were transported into the facility in appropriate gun bags by both Spectre and myself prior to the shoot starting.
2) The vehicle segments where airsoft pistols were visible were filmed in a deserted area with no public access.
3) The police were informed well in advance of the shoot of what we were doing and gave their approval. They were very appreciative of the call.
4) Most importantly.. this was SUPPOSED to be a unique, fun way to promote the sport. The video was Wolf's take on a specific format a current TV show uses (and even states that at the beginning of the video).

I honestly thought this community would appreciate positive promotion of the sport and of a unique airsoft-only facility instead of tearing the video apart.

We will endeavor to create more 'realistic' videos in the future.
On a side note, maybe next time you all should be involved in the next shoot to ensure we get it right.

I enjoyed being a part of this shoot, and based on the feedback from the people actually there that evening, they thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it themselves.
