Do airsoft bb's harm the environment?

well unless you shoot the eviroment (animals, bugs, plants, ect.) than i guess not really. but birds will try to eat them nd may choke : ( so, that may be bad. just what i do is, just use a water hose and just spray your yard when your done and then walk on the wet grass. (you want to try to step on the BB's so they kind of just sink into the ground and that way the birds wont see them)

Plastic grass deserves plastic bugs. Adds to the realism, you know.\n\nTrue, though, that standing moisture in and around it can support little undesirable creatures.

The only national law for airsoft guns is that the end of the barrel needs to have a blaze orange tip. If you take that tip off you gun then becomes illegal. Also some states and cities ban airsoft gun so it depends on when you live so check you local laws. Also there is no law aginst shooting each other with them. Though if a police saw it and mistook it for a real gun you would have quite a problem. That brings me to say that scence airsoft guns are all copies of real guns police officers can easily mistake them for real guns.

Better than guns, isn't it?

well you must mean bb gun. first off if you consider it playing you shouldnt even have one. and as far as the state law in illinois when i worked at a gun shop if it had a velocity of 700fps or more it had to be sold as a firearm with the same paperwork and background check as any firearm. state laws will vary though. dont consider it playing though. even a low powered air gun is capable of putting some ones eye out.

The most noticable would be CAR FUMES! Look there are as many cars as pets in the USA, I swear some of them just let too much pollution! You don't need a detail answer, all you need is imagination, just look at all the cars, factories, machines, trucks and every single one of those! They affect the climate dramatically, without even mentioning the military and nuclear weapons being produced there! \n\nUSA is in deep growing danger!!!

yes, but only at a target.   hitting a human is assault and battery.  hitting a dog or cat is curelty to animals.   an airsoft can break a window.   an airsoft also looks close enough like a real gun that a nervous cop might shoot you.  keep it in the back yard.

I'm not sure.  I think they're a type of plastic so you probably could recycle it...  But I'm sure they're not that harmful to the environment so you could just throw it away.

have you ever considered airsoft?\n\nthe weapons, tactics, gear and clothing are more authentic than the neon gear and guns with tumors used in paintball...\n\njust a thought..

I don't think anyone would ever say "likes war." But, it's typical that ciuntries who lose equipment for various reasons take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade to the next generation of gear. I haven't heard that Australia is doing that, the US is not, but certainly it would be a normal & good side effect. No reason to "like war" though. It's jsut as easy to get rid of the stuff at home as to burn it out in the mid-east.

Hello:\n\nI don't know what an airsoft gun is, and I don't know where Lee's Summit is.  However, if it's not a tank or an "automatic" weapon, or an "assault" weapon, the gun is legal.\n\nHowever, there are some PEOPLE who can't own guns anywhere.\n\nexcon

I am very fond of HK's UMP .45 calibur SMG.\n\nStop crying, rain, guns aren't responsible for murder, people are responsible for murder.

Most plastic "pollutes" because it doesn't degrade quickly.  Thus it forms unsightly litter, and sometimes kills small animals that might get caught in the bag.

Hydroelectric dams flood large areas of wildernness destroying it. If the area flooded is famrland that area needs to be replaced byt cutting down forests someehwre else. The cold water they trap kills fish. The dam itself prevents fish migration. The sediment trapped behind the dam is a major source of nethane, a potent greenhouse gas.\n\nWind farms kill birds that gt struck by the blades. Hundreds of thousands of birds each year. Wind farms are also a major source of visual pollution and noise pollution.\n\nThe growing of crops for ethanol or biodiesel production requires more petroleum than is rpelaced by the end product. That leads to increased pollution generaly and greatly increased greenhouse gas production.\n\nGrowing crops for biodiesl or ethnaol production requires us to cut down rainforests to produce the farmland. The production of those crops also requires irrigation, which disrputs the flow rates of rivers. It requires the use of synthetic fertilsiers which flow into rivers and oceans, killing coral reefs and causing toxic algal blooms. It reuires the use of pertsicides, with all the npormal environmental problems that causes.\n\nThe environmental effect of most alternative energy sources are negative.
