Who invented the airsoft gun?

Answer 1

Airsoft guns were invented in Japan during the early 1980s. In Japan, is it illegal for anyone other the military personnel to own a real firearm. This law gave birth to airsoft guns, guns that look extremely realistic, but fire 6mm plastic, paint or steel-coated BBs instead of real ammunition. The first airsoft guns were called Gas Blow Back guns. This term refers to the way these guns operate. They use Green Gas, a silicon based propellant to fire BBs. When the guns are fired, the slide on the pistols blows back, and recreates the way a real firearm is operated. These guns are the most realistic of all airsoft guns, in that they are weighted, balanced, and operated just like the firearms they are based off of. Gas Blow Back guns can be an extremely effective Law Enforcement training tool, because the guns are cheaper than real firearms, and ammunition is also very cheap. Gas Blow Back guns are still being made, and are more popular now that ever.
