Airsoft rifles are generally "sport" air guns, firing softer plastic .20g BBs that MAY break bare skin at close enough range, and are generally used only for Airsoft events, such as small-unit tactics or recreation, rather than small-game hunting.

Airsoft tend towards real-world replicas, where air rifles are content to be what they are without re-creating the appearance of a real world weapon (not always, but generally).

Check with any friends you may have in local law enforcement or check your area's laws regarding ownership of both types before you buy. Good luck!
I have... Oh wait.... It's a BB gun nevermind. Although it can fire single loaded .177 bullet.



Edit: Ah well, I'll post about it anyways. It's a BB gun that can fire .177 bullets(pellets?), quite commonly used for professional BB tournaments. Will put a round through anyone if they're in the way, and comes with an adjustable scope. The only problem with it is the fact that between each shot you need to pump 5-10 times, and if you're using pellets you have to manually load them. Although it does have a BB reservoir.

Edit2: here is what I have.

Edit3: a link would be great http://daisy.com/shopping/customer/p...cat=258&page=1
