Gun Safety: Airsoft vs Real Guns

I want to talk about an issue I see pop up across the internet and that's people asking for, or recommending, airsoft replicas as replacement for training with real firearms. Here's why I think this is a very bad idea. 00:00 Intro 00:28 Airsoft replicas good for training? 00:48 Different replica types 01:16 BBs and extractors 01:34 Why this matters - extracting a round from the chamber 02:30 Springers (skip) 02:40 AEGs (Automatic Electric Guns - battery powered replicas) 03:10 AEGs fire without BBs or Magazines 03:55 GBBRs (Gas Blowback Replicas) 04:10 GBBs fire without BBs 04:32 GBB REPLICAS DO NOT FIRE CHAMBERED ROUND WITHOUT MAGAZINE 05:45 Airsoft replicas are super-easy to manipulate 06:16 Gas magazines are expensive, fragile and dangerous 06:37 What I ACTUALLY recommend
