Good for your wife, glad to see she came with a whip.

Availability?
1) I can walk down to the sporting goods store and purchase a beretta. I cannot, however walk down to the sporting goods store and purchase an airsoft beretta. I have to get a license to get the gun, but I also need to get age verified to get an airsoft gun. Yes, I'm aware that they're not exactly the same, BUT... real steel = dangerous but readily available.
2) I can't just fire an airsoft pistol anywhere I please. I still have to be in designated areas anyway. Your point is moot at best, irrelevant at worse.
So... If we're arguing availability, actual guns come out on top.
And you're saying more skill and experience to fire a real gun is a detriment? Silly.
