I have some airsoft stuff - the problem I see with it, is that the trigger is more of a switch - and bears little to no resemblance with an actual trigger. A potential problem could be becoming too comfortable with pulling the trigger of a "loaded" "anything" in a casual context.

I mean... Ofcourse none of us are idiots, and I've never had the pleasure of an accidental discharge... But I can just see a slight danger with the mindset that this "weapon" is loaded - and is therefore OK to pull the trigger at home. Just speculation - I'm sure it probably won't cause any problems.

I've thought about getting a Glock 19 version to practice with... However I've had trouble paying more than a K31 or makarov on another pellet gun.
