Okay, I thought I was losing my mind. I've never seen airsoft at an IPSC comp and I wouldn't dare show up with one for fear of being laughed at to death.
The differences between shooting a real bullet and a BB are so vast that I think the dynamics of an IPSC shoot with airsoft guns would make it a rather boring event. Yes, you could use airsoft to practice in your basement to gain muscle memory for things like static positions, posture, transitions and so forth. But nothing replaces trigger time on the range.
It might be more interesting to create an airsoft specific combat shooting course that embraces those airsoft differences rather than try and apply real steel rules against weapons that don't meet those specifications. IPSC rules are also very much geared around safety, whereas you can be a little looser with airsoft and get into shooting that would never be allowed in an IPSC competition.
