I know this one! It's because they can't afford a 180hp Ducati!!! ;D

I never understood how this was a safety. It isn't that safe. You can pull the trigger and it fires. Unlike other gun safeties where you pull the trigger and nothing happens.

Firearms were never meant to be in the hands of incompetent people. Yes, it is unfortunate that it happens, but in the case of Glock, their primary customers are law enforcement (worldwide), military, and government agencies. By signing your ownership license, you are acknowledging that you are a responsible individual and that you will always maintain complete control over your weapon. Period. There can be no interpretation whatsoever.
On the otherhand, I've seen a Beretta 92 (standard military issue) discharge after being dropped, with the safety on. It is mechanicaly impossible for a Glock to discharge when dropped due to its triple safety system. The only way it can ever fire, is by squeezing the trigger with 5.5 lbs of pressure (or 3.5 with the upgrade).
Period.

Right right, a responsible person will not have his/her finger on the trigger unless he/she is actually going to shoot it.
I've been getting into this airsoft stuff. I like it better than paintball since the guns are more realistic (and you can actually be accurate with them). I've been looking at getting a full replica of a glock 19 that uses gas, and part of the gas is used to create a realistic blowback, the slide slides back like it was actually ejecting a shell.
