The most important factor, in distinguishing whether a gun is an airsoft replica or a real firearm, is the gun holder's intent and actions in using an airsoft gun, as with any real firearm. Safe, prudent and discreet use, along with forthright honesty will help the replica gun holder to avoid any legal misunderstandings. In many jurisdictions, using an imitation firearm to commit a crime (which often includes the generic term of "brandishing") carries the same penalty as if a real firearm were used because of the intent to kill or harm.

R22 is a refrigerant gas used to power airsoft gas guns, both GBB and NBB. R22 is most commonly used in the winter, or when the temperature drops to just above freezing. It is a strong gas and can actually break the internals of some airsoft replicas, so it is important to check with your airsoft supplier whether it is safe to use with your gun.

There have been a few highly isolated cases of airsoft guns being mistaken for real firearms, and some cases where armed law enforcement units have responded to tips of unlawful firearm use. This is the main reason that Federal laws require minimum 3/4" orange tips to be present on all "toy guns" (including airsoft replicas) imported into the United States.[10]
