Using Airsoft to Teach Your Son about Gun Safety
Real guns are very dangerous, and a lot of people die every year in America due to gun accidents, usually involving kids playing with their father's guns. But all of this can be avoided if your kids no about the danger of guns, and have knowledge of the safety devices and techniques that will protect them from danger.
Using Airsoft as a Precursor That is where getting an airsoft pistol or rifle for your son can come in very handy. Especially if you purchase a higher end airsoft gun, you will get the look and feel of the real pistol in an airsoft, and you can show your son how the internal and external safety features work, how to keep the weapon pointed away from people, pointed down at the ground when moving, and ensuring that the weapon isn't loaded when in storage. These are all great tips that the youngster must learn before touching a real gun.
Airsoft guns also feature the unmistakable blaze orange tip that will enable you to easily tell the difference between the airsoft gun, and the real gun. Also, you will be able to teach your son how to shoot accurately, timely, and know exactly how to load and unload the weapon quickly. The more knowledge they have, the better the chances are of avoiding a catastrophe.
Be sure to always keep your guns locked away, especially while the kids are home alone and you aren't there to make sure they stay out of your gun closet. A combination lock on a vault that is bolted to the floor provides very difficult access along with protection from being moved or tipped over. But even with the best teaching, accidents can still happen, and you don't want to face the consequences of such accidents. Take all the precautions possible.

Practice with Airsoft Guns makes perfect for trainees in Police Training Institute
Editor's note: This is the first in a three-part series of articles profiling the University of Illinois Police Training Institute, which trains recruits from departments across the state through classroom instruction and created simulations.
Newly hired officers from counties around the state of Illinois arrived in full uniform at the University Police Training Institute's training base at Willard Airport for patrol operations training Nov. 27.
By retrofitting the old airport hangar machine shops, the institute has created its own apartment complex to train recruits to analyze scenarios and take in debriefings. On this particularly brisk day of class, a group of rookie officers was tested in situations involving high-risk arrests, domestic disturbances - ranging from suicidal persons, a murder-suicide and a verbal domestic disturbance - and a building search.
"Our training is as close as we can replicate to real situations," said W. Michael Miller, associate director of the institute. "We don't have unwinnable scenarios, as long as proper tactics and strategies are used in each one."
Founded in 1956 by a state statute, the institute strives to give recruits the best possible basic training in a rapid 12-week, 480-hour course.
During these scenario-based classes, role players are armed with paintball guns to give recruits, suited in Kevlar jackets, an idea of the realistic impact being shot causes. Recruits are armed with radios and airsoft guns, which fire and react as the real weapons would.
"We have volunteer role players and we instruct them to do very specific things," said Ken Zimny, associate police training specialist. "We never control the officers and their responses, but we do control the role players."
Zimny spent the session observing how recruits dealt with domestic disturbances. By controlling the role players' actions, he and other instructors can put recruits in specific situations while realistically reconstructing conflicts often seen by professional officers, he said.
A debriefing session followed recruits' completion of each scenario. The students discuss what happened during the practice and what they can improve upon with their instructor and each other.
