Technically, airsoft is no more or less recognized than toy guns, paintball markers, airguns or anything that imitates a firearm without being one. This is because the terms "airsoft", "paintballer" and whatever else denotes a purpose that the law simply doesn't care about. The law is only concerned with the physical characteristics of the devices and whether they were used in crime.
