For airsofters, many would be keen in knowing more about the rifle of Will Smith/Deadshot who appeared initially in Gotham City as crimefighter but turned out to be an enemy of the Batman as shown in the photo:

The rifle's handguard looks like has an engraved "I am the Light --- The Way" but we're keen on knowing more his favorite weapon, the silenced wrist mounted weapons. It would be interesting if there would be a tie-up with an airsoft manufacturer to make the weapon.
