I will say that I'm up for the challenge of anyone trying to disarm without weapons while I try to shoot them with an airsoft pistol.

I've had a few friends try. The results where a lot of people shot with airsoft pistols (which strangely are not soft at all).
Hi Don,

In addition to the hard, plastic handguns and rifles, we experimented with AirSoft pistols as well in learning how to disarm someone. It added a different level of stress to the situation. What I can say is that it can be done. There were a few times where it didn't work, but we were able to pull it off most of the time. Of course it depends a lot on how close the person is to you. It takes some very diligent practice.

Question, in your use of the Air Soft gun, did you ever practice the 21 foot rule drill?
