Competitions for CO₂ and Airsoft Replica Pistols

There have been several attempts, mostly in the United Kingdom and Germany, to start organized competitions involving CO2 powered replica pistols (firing lead pellets). Most of these have not lasted very long. However, there is growing interest in practical shooting competitions involving airsoft pistols. This is a very popular sport in many Asian countries and is slowly making its way into Europe and the US.
