[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Training with a BB gun?

I keep looking at the crossman R1, and thinking about how cheap BBs are compared to even .22lr for training... any reason why this wouldn't make a good platform to use to go behind the house and practice things (like transitioning to other shoulder, reloading, shooting from weird positions / cover)?

I have one... pretty cool cheap full auto!

Absolutely OK as training tool at home - just don't have your neighbors freak out :-)

Don't know how these compare in price to the KWA PTS line of gas operated airsoft but I would look at those. Then later if you want to attend a FOF class you will have something you can use there.

Good for practicing clearing the house. I used to use a Crossman 357-6" and a Crossman 38C for room clearing (long time ago in the 80s). SF used semi auto BB guns for training back in the 80s at Mott Lake for CQB.
