Avoiding risks, while learning something new, is about surviving one's mistakes.
Mistakes will be made, and it's probably best if they didn't have permanent consequences.
The statistics, that are kept on the subject of accidental discharges, say that most of them happen when a handgun is taken out of or returned to the holster.
Practicing fast draws involves both and lots of them.
With Murphy and his laws always lurking, non guns are a real good idea.
With the realism offered by the better airsofts, they get my vote.
