Legit... no, not really, not yet. There's a Reddit thread about these that I found, and that lists some sources: www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/17qpcpu/smokey_wolf_data_experiences_and_psa/
So far as I can tell, the criteria are: 1. gas coming out. Yes, if you're not using it as a prop, that can also be something that fires bbs, pellets, gel balls, nerf darts, or whatever else fits through these things, but as a prop, with the ribbon hack I'm using, it just needs to have a burst of gas to wiggle the ribbon and trigger the motion sensor. 2. Threaded barrel. 14mm counter-clockwise, which is pretty standard. 3. space for a suppressor - some semi autos jam up if there's something pressing up against the front, so you may need to use an adapter that has a spacer built in. That's true of real and fake semi autos, but I wouldn't assume that the airsoft versions always act the same as the real ones they're based on.
@@pewtube Yeah I was really just asking what pistols you've gotten this to work with. I have a VP9 C02 one but it doesn't have a 14mm thread. Trying to find other options.
@@DoItJustinKace you can get adapters for most common models, going from internal threading for things like 12, 13, 14mm to external 14mm ccw threading (which is what these need), but you have to know what size you need, AND you may need a spacer if the model you have needs that extra space to operate. Some models the barrel's got to rock back a bit when it cycles, and if there's something sticking out right at the end, it blocks the action, so sometimes you need an adapter with a spacer in the middle. Sadly those are a bit harder to find.
Probably, but there's a lot of parts to this... the mini-fan (not sure if the gas itself going through would be sufficient if set up that way... maybe?), the light sensor/motion switch (which you could probably set up another way if you want), the LEDs.. I doubt you could do it any cheaper than some of these cost.
Do you have a link on where to purchase one from a legit website?

...and I've been on Instagram chat with someone who's planning to be a US importer, but that's still TBD.
What pistols work best with this?

I wonder if I can repurpose a disposable vape into something like this

I wish there was pistol led without suppressor
yeah, that'd be nice!
