Spoke to Bill Dermody, head of marketing, at SHOT about airsoft for training. He said no deals have been made. I reminded him that at last year's SHOT show he said something was in the works. He replied that "Springfield Armory is a marketing company. If we can't make money licensing the design, we won't do it. We could not make money on the other deal so it died"

Looks like no Airsoft for us!

Oh well, S.A.'s loss. I don't understand why they won't do it, it's well deserved training.

Ha, Springfield Marketting. Nice.
