Recoil management, trigger feel, and ballistics don&rsquo;t transfer at all. U.S. military units and law enforcement agencies have used airsoft (and the closely related Simunition) for decades because force-on-force training is nearly impossible to replicate safely with live ammunition. The rest of this guide breaks down exactly which skills cross over, which don&rsquo;t, and how to structure a training ladder that bridges the gap.</p>
