I used to scoff at the idea of shooting an airsoft gun because it seemed to be as useless as a BB gun (which is a gun/toy that I totally dispise.)
Then later on I heard that the world's champion pistol shot uses an airsoft gun to practice shooting because he lives in Japan.
Then when he goes to shooting contests (in other countries that allow real guns) he borrows a gun from someone to compete.
However, I still object to guns that are designed to shoot at other people with just for fun (like airsoft guns and paintball guns.)
I am thinking about getting an airsoft gun someday to use for target shooting in my backyard.
