I've read some threads on other boards about using an airsoft gun for training and I always dismissed it as silly.
My boys are into airsoft and they wanted new airsoft guns for their birthdays'. I got my oldest boy this gas blowback pistol that's built like an STI (with a little different slide setup).
this gun is amazing. We're using propane in it and it's got recoil similar to my Ruger MKIII. The weight and feel of the gun (Metal slide and upper frame, polymer lower frame) is similar to my 1911. It's fun to shoot (but stinky with propane) and amazingly accurate.
Here's a vid review of the gun he got (note- if you want to skip the review garbage and watch the action, skip to 4:25);

has anyone ever used one for training (like the gun in the vid)?
