"Airsoft" is a category, not a manufacture. Much like the term
"paintball"
The airsoft M3 Grease gun would be fine for a display (such as in your
Military Vehicle) or for plinking, but the gun is too finicky to be used
regularly in airsoft events. It's made by 'Hudson', a small company,
whom's products are not as reliable as larger manufactures such as
'Tokyo Marui' or 'Classic Army'.

Safety and legalities are still of a concern when it comes to these BB
guns.
For example, due to the significant chance of confiscation when shipping
to Canada, most retailers will no longer sell to Canadians. It's still
legal, it's just due to frequent losses from overzealous liberal morons
inspecting at customs.
In the UK, the government is seeking to ban importation, sales, and
trade of airsoft guns and parts in an effort to kill it, in the upcoming
"Violent Crime Reduction Bill"

which looked a lot like an old-school grease-gun. There's a huge,
highly-detailed photograph of one here:
http://www.cvcycles.com/jetfixer/Museum/M3Greasegun.JPG , and while I
don't
know anyone with a dewat at the moment, I do know that Airsoft makes a
pretty decent airgun version of it which handily beats all our 'replica'
/prohibited devices legislation because it's a functional airgun (fires
little plastic bb things which annoy pets and spouses and jam up the
vacuum), so Ottawa can go bark up a tree.
