Shooting and collecting replica air pistols is an increasingly popular hobby around the world. Whether these are 6mm Airsoft pistols or airguns firing steel BBs or pellets, these replicas mimic the appearance and in some cases the function of firearms and are used both as a supplement to training with firearms and as an alternative for target shooting.
