Airsoft is primarily a recreational activity with replica firearms that shoot plastic BBs that are often used for personal collection, gaming (similar to paintball), or professional training purposes (military simulations, a.k.a. MilSim, and police training exercises).
Airsoft refers to a class of replica air powered guns that originated from Japan (although the origins go back to the US in the 70s). The power levels are way below those of traditional airguns, but the guns are 1:1 scale copies of original pistols, rather than original designs.

MW-80 Rifle
Although originally intended as a civilian hunting rifle, the MW-80 was later adopted for use in the Tartaran military, seeing action as a specialist close support marksman rifle. Although it's limitations as a bolt action rifle with only fours shots per clip, eventually forced the inception of it's successor, the MW-80A1 Sniper Rifle. Despite this though, the MW-80 is still in military service, held in high regard by Squad Marksman for it's accuracy and reliability.
