• These new type of guns are commonly referred to
  as Airsoft Airguns.
• Airsoft originally referred to a class of replica
  air guns that originated from Japan. They are
  fashioned in a 11 scale and are made from high
  impact ABS plastics and metal alloys. Unlike
  other air guns, Airsoft Airguns fire 6mm plastic
  BB's.

  split-second decisions. An officer may not have
  the time to determine what is a toy gun and what
  isnt.

  on something you are likely to encounter on the
  street.

  useful. Be safe out there!
