The guns used in Airsoft are also functional and you can use them for practicing in your backyard as well. The Airsoft pistols and rifles have been made in such a way that they can fire the small plastic shots as well as the paint filled ones. The paintball guns use high powered gas cylinders to make them work while in Airsoft you can fire with the help of compressed gas or springs or even electronic firing. The Airsoft guns were not made for long range firing. So they do not have the accuracy and range that Paintball guns have. Many people possess Airsoft guns as showpieces in their house rather than use them for indulging in any sport.
