Mr. Kim's statements prompted me to hit the keyboard to see if I could find out more about Airsoft guns. Amazingly enough, the devices shoot BBs, at least according to this site:

http://www.airsplat.com/aboutus.htm

That site includes this sentence:

"Airsoft is an informal term in reference to BB guns that use plastic BB's larger than the common BB's sold in local sporting goods stores which are 6mm in circumference. "

So I'm having trouble getting particularly worked up because the media said "BB gun." The world has so much more to get indignant about, in my estimation.
