Hey patriot, I know a few officers that use it as training. And from what I have heard many other departments are making the switch.
But I just need to add something to this post. We try to keep real steel discussion off of the forums. We are a non profit group that caters to minors so we have a bit of rules in regards to it.
Real-Steel Firearms discussion
Airsoft has natural links to the world of real firearms (commonly known as “Real-Steel”), and discussion of firearms is allowed to a point. The looks, weight, history, and operation of these firearms are normally valid topics of conversation, but ballistic effects are not. Basically, we want to avoid conversation that roams in to the arena of real ammunition and the performance of firearms in general. This is an Airsoft forum, not a real-steel forum. I hope you can understand and we thank you for understanding.
