Thumpy's 3-D House of Airsoft sends us a link on the use of airsoft, as well as paintball in military training, especially in force-on-force with this footage from Military Notes at the Quick Shot 2012, which is an interservice training for combat camera personnel from the Navy, Army, and Air Force to make them effective in combat shooting apart from being effective shooters with their cameras.

"Here it is...MORE PROOF that the PROS are using AIRSOFT as the ultimate force-on-force SAFE TRAINING SYSTEM...."

We add another video from Military Notes they took at Quick Shot 2012 with combat camera personnel explaining why they should undergo such training. I guess it's recommended for airsoft combat fotogs too, though it's optional.
