Where Politics And Video Games Collide

===================
Airsoft guns are worse than video games, because they can ACTUALLY train a person, without the recoil of an actual gun.
===================

Train them for what, to be a better airsoft player? Granted, the high end guns are 1:1 nearly exact replicas, so you will learn the best way to hold the gun, and get a feel for the weight and balance of a real gun. But that's about it. When shooting a real gun, you do not aim 10 feet to the right over a distance of 30 yards in high winds. You also don't aim by actually watching the projectiles fly to their target then adjust accordingly. (walking them in) Pouring BBs into a wind up clip or gravity fed hopper will not teach you how to load a real weapon (not that a 3 year old couldn't figure it out for themselves anyway). Changing the battery on your airsoft gun isn't going to teach you gun maintenance either.

It is a fun and challenging sport, not a murder trainer (which you are coming dangerously close to calling it). Just like gaming is a fun and challenging hobby/competition, not murder training. Playing games and airsoft, and they have not taught me a single thing about using a real gun. In fact, I haved owned guns since I got a .22 chipmunk on my 10th birthday. I've shot and even owned a very wide range of guns and can be quite accurate with them. Nothing in a game or airsoft has ever made me feel any impulse to do any of it with a real gun. And the idea that either is any means of training for using a real gun is laughable.

Both may train you think tactics, but a game chess will do about the same thing, and that train of thought can be usefully applied to many life scenarios, that fact that you learned to think in such terms from a violent video game or airsoft match in no way means you are going to apply that skill to real life violence.
