I'm curious as to the restrictions, if any, of using an Airsoft gun within the Colorado Springs city limits.

I know BB gun use is banned within city limits, but what's the law with respect to Airsoft guns?

It's against the law

9.7.104: DISCHARGE OF WEAPON:
A. It is unlawful for any person to wrongfully fire or discharge any cannon, gun, pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, air gun, BB gun, gas operated gun, spring gun, or firearm within the City. The discharge of firearms using only blank ammunition by the members of any military company when on parade or when engaged in an official ceremony, done in accord with the command of the commanding officers, shall not be deemed a violation, nor shall the discharge of firearms at shooting galleries as a licensed business, or as part of a business licensed or permitted to operate within the City be deemed a violation.

i know this is from a few years ago, but do you know if that also applies to those of us outside of city limits considered county?

The ordinance says "within the city." So if you're out in unincorporated parts of El Paso County, you're probably fine. Probably not ok in any Open Space though. Google El Paso County ordinances to be sure.
