Are airsoft guns really any good for training? The reason I ask is that some are the exact weight and size and extremely accurate, but I wonder if they do any harm since there's no recoil and they do not realistically function in the same manner as the actual firearms.
And I don't mean the $20 crappos from Walmart. A friend gave me his collection which includes a Japanese import Desert Eagle which is an exact replica and needs to be recharged from a gas canister, sells for $120 online. I now also have an M9, MP5, M16A2, and FAMAS and all are extremely accurate out to about 15 yards.
If its a viable training solution, it could be a huge money saver for those of us without adequate funds to throw box after box of .40 downrange.
So...input?
