Its not a crack pot theory, the end of a gun is very hot, it sounds very logical that the foam inside of an airsoft gun would melt due to the heat intensity.

[quote="hkssr20det"]I know for a fact, that the ATF has deemed foam filled mock suppressors illegal for sale in the US, more specifically for sure here in CA. This is a fact. Ask any reputable retailer if they are willing to sell you a foam filled suppressor here in Ca, or even in the US. The answer will be that it is illegal for them to carry them.[/quote]

Its on the ATF website. It says something along the lines of "if it changes the report of a firearm 1+ decibles for one shot" it can be deemed a suppressor. I'm lazy so you have to find it yourself.
