Danrk,
I totally agree. I used to use Airsoft Weapons as a great force on force training tool. If you pick up the 8mm air-soft weapons (these are much more popular in Europe than the US) you can even get 8mm air-soft paint-balls that load into very realistic weapons.
We found this very useful for practicing room clearing and building sweeping with a team, aggressor force training. We set up some fake walls at a facility we were using to configure things like our houses and simulated break-ins, sweeps and encounters.
Unfortunately MGL says "Air Rifles" are "dangerous weapons" and without a clear defintion of an "air-rifle or BB-gun" you're stuck trying to argue that a "air-soft toy" isn't a "BB-gun or air-rifle"
