airsoft began in asia...and they can produce the stuff at a fraction of the cost.

Not to mention the fact that in some Asian nations (Japan in particular) it's almost impossible to own an actual firearm. Airsoft is the closest they get - ever - unless they join the military. Why would some redneck down in Texas want to buy a plastic M16 that shoots plastic bb's when he can get a real one almost as easily?
