In an actual exchange of shots by those with airsoft guns against those with real guns, it will always be a lopsided battle. The ones with real guns win, all the time. Everybody knows that. We always say in the airsoft community that it is absolutely no use intimidating anyone in public with an airsoft gun, or even just displaying airsoft guns in full public view as it can lead to serious injuries and deaths when police are called to the scene.

What’s even worse than carrying an airsoft gun in public? Carrying an airsoft gun under the influence of drugs.

According to CBS Los Angeles, LA County Sheriff deputies were called to West Valinda as a man was causing a disturbance. It was believed that the man’s family reported to the County Sheriff that the man was under the influence of drugs.

When the deputies arrived, the man then locked himself into one of their home’s bedrooms. He then climbed out of the window to get into the backyard where the deputies found him.

However, the man was carrying two firearms with him and according to the LA Times, a rifle and a pistol. He fired at the deputies with the pistol causing them to immediately return fire, hitting him several times and he died at the scene. A neighbor said he heard about 9 shots fired by the deputies.

When the deputies inspected the guns, they then did find out that they were airsoft guns.

You probably would wonder if the drugs have made him think that the airsoft guns were real firearms. It has not been established if he actually owned the airsoft guns or he just found them in the bedroom here he locked himself up, thinking they are real. The shooting incident is still being investigated as of this writing.

Real guns still win against airsoft guns, all the time.
