Daniel of Airsoft GI explains the benefits of using airsoft when doing firearms training whilst at home (just make sure you don't disturb the neighbours)... "Over the last few years, airsoft technology has advanced enough to become a great option for shooters to practice with in the privacy of their own garage, back yard, or basement to avoid range & ammo costs (easily $100+ for one range day), driving to the range, weather conditions, and also increase the frequency of practice.
