Maybe they got tired of the "black rifle" stigma? I like my black one better though. I also wonder if they are fully functional live fire weapons or like the blue dummy mags you can get for your Glock.

Dummy gun is my guess.

I think so too. They offer them at this website: http://www.gtdist.com/ProductDetail.aspx?PartNumber=RINGS-LONGGUNS

They don't show the AR but have it listed as an available choice.

They should practice with real guns me thinks.

Dummy gun. That blue color is typical of resin dummy guns. I see them all the time at the local shows, mostly with dealers that sell the tactical slings for demonstration purposes. You also see them in handguns for the grips and external laser dealers.

Training gun - and as Ted said also used in the industry to 'demo' items when you don't want to be waving a real gun around.

You can see more on them at: www.blueguns.com

They appeal to my feminine side.

At first I thought it was a training rifle upper used with the military/SWAT team for training.

These rifles use SIMUNITION or a special type of paint ball ammo that simulates a real M4 shooting. This allows the participants to engage in realistic training and suffer the results of their mistakes.

The blue color ensures that no one tries to shoot a real 5.56mm in the rifle.

After a second look I agree that it is a dummy/training rifle. Completely inert.

Its a training gun. Police agencies use them. My Dept. has pistols as well as long guns.

blue is the military standard for inert ammo, bombs, missiles, etc. These guns are solid peices of polymer, designed just for weight and feel.
