Take out the dremel and saw it off, if it doesn't just pop off.
It's not like Takara WANTS to put a cap on it, it's just another U.S. regulation. And I think we all can do for a little more of that. YEAH....GO AUTHORITY!!!! I don't know what I would do if I didn't have good ol' Uncle Sam tellin' me what was good for me.

only time will tell. im still up in arms as to what to do about my preorder.

Because it STILL transforms into a real gun hence why toy gun laws apply. Also if a kid were to get shot and killed the company who sold it would be liable for damages because they did not put on the orange cap to corespond with US toy laws.
