Are gas pistols good for Self Defence?

The simple answer to it will be a big no, but even if you alter it to hit harder, the answer is still no. Gas airsoft pistols may appear similar to their real-steel counterparts, but they are incapable of inflicting the same level of harm or terror since they employ plastic bullets. You can terrify someone with an airsoft pistol merely by looking at them from a distance, but that’s about it. BB guns or pellet guns may be better for self-defense because they employ metal bullets, but they are still inferior to actual weapons.
