That depends on what you mean by "real guns". If you are asking "Can an airsoft gun load, chamber, and cycle a live firearm cartridge?", the answer is no.

If you are asking "Does my state consider an airsoft replica a firearm?", the answer is "Maybe".

Depending on where you live, airsoft replicas may be classified as firearms. The best place to start looking is to search for the definition of firearm in your state codes. If all else fails, you may be able to get suggestions for which sections of your local criminal codes cover airsoft replicas by contacting NON-EMERGENCY dispatch for your local law enforcement agency.

If you are asking "Should I treat my airsoft replica like a firearm?", the answer is yes. All firearm safety rules should be followed with anything that launches a projectile, especially when it looks like a real gun.
