Plastic has been used as a PART of guns for several years- I have a 1943 target rifle with a plastic trigger guard- and the M-16 rifle has a plastic stock and forearm. Much of the frame of the Glock pistol is a polymer (plastic). However, misinformation has been published by folks that should know better about "plastic" guns that are ALL plastic, and not detectable by normal means. These do not exist, and in fact are unlawful to make. I have seen ONE all plastic firearm- made as a clandestine, 2 shot firearm for the CIA. It was experimental, and never made in quantity.

What is the difference between airsoft and BB guns?

Airsoft guns often replicate real guns (such as M16, AK-47, ect,) and shoot little plastic pellets. Airsoft guns are commonly used for the sport of airsoft, which involves a simulation of war where you try to get the other players "out" by shooting them.BB guns are not meant to shoot people. They are single-action where airsoft guns are commonly automatic. They shoot small metal BBs which are generally meant for target practice. They generally have a higher velocity than airsoft guns and are dangerous to shoot at people but are not capable of killing anyone.

What kind of airsoft plastic is the strongest?

ABS plastic is used quite often in airsoft guns, especially in guns made in China. The strongest plastic in airsoft is probably the plastic used on the Real Sword Type 97, which is advertised as "high strength polymer material" but is really the same plastic used on the real steal Type 97 (since both the airsoft and real steel versions are made by the same company it is probably the best built airsoft gun externally short of a CTW or PTW). In the market it is often hard to tell which guns have high quality plastic and which have cheap plastic because it is all advertised as high strength or high quality polymer. The best way to tell is to go to an airsoft store and feel it for yourself. Also, the price of the gun is usually a dead giveaway, because any gun with really good plastic will be over $300.
