The realism of modern airsoft guns from Umarex and Elite Force is incredible. They have become an ideal tool for personal-defense training and handgun handling. If the orange muzzle cap were removed, many gun owners would be hard pressed to distinguish a quality replica airsoft pistol from a centerfire model. The Umarex GLOCK 19X, for example, features the same controls and functions as the firearm. Taking the Umarex GLOCK 19X apart for maintenance is even similar, with some parts being remarkably familiar. Getting started shooting airsoft guns is easy. No license is required to own one, and they can be shipped directly to your home provided there are no local or state laws that dictate otherwise. Always check before ordering. Airsoft guns are available in popular shooting platforms such as AR-15-type rifles, bolt-action rifles, and a variety of handguns such as Walther Airsoft, GLOCK, Heckler & Koch, and Smith & Wesson Airsoft. They are most often powered by springs, CO2, green gas, or electric motors commonly known as AEGs - Automatic Electric Guns.
The officially licensed Elite Force Airsoft Smith & Wesson® M&P 9® M2.0 is a hot property on the airsoft field. Conveniently powered by 12 gram non-threaded CO2, this 6mm airsoft pistol launches BBs at a field safe 330 FPS and holds 13 BBs in the drop free CO2 magazine. This airsoft pistol is a one-to-one replica of the firearm so the ergonomics will be identical as well. This airsoft pistol also features half-blowback which maximizes the uses of the CO2 cartridge, three dot sights, and it does have a manual safety located on the right side ot the frame above the trigger. Loading the magazine with BBs is made easier via the follower hold down and Elite Force has spare magazines available for this 6mm airsoft pistol as well.
