But it's not legal for me to have it

Yes it is, unless you are a prohibited person. Which you are not, because you speak of buying a long gun.
You need to be 21 to buy a handgun from a dealer. A private sale is fine on both ends, even if you are only 18.
But anyways, an airsoft gun can be a great training tool. I own a gas blowback airsoft 1911, and it certainly helps me improve my marksmanship with my real pistols. Being able to train indoors in my own house and not having to drive to the range, and the extremely low cost per shot, are great incentives to practice as often as possible. I can just set up a few cans and have at it. I can also set up paper bullseye targets for more serious training.
