Airsoft guns are devices that have a low muzzle velocity and muzzle energy, and usually discharge projectiles made out of a substance such as plastic or wax rather than metal. An airsoft gun, firing a .20g*6mm*plastic pellet, with a muzzle velocity below 111.6*m/s (366*fps), and resembling with near precision an existing make and model of a firearm, other than an antique firearm, is a replica firearm and therefore a prohibited device.

What is the clause that makes these legal as I've seen some pretty realistic looking ones.
The ones I've seen on store shelves are typically proportionally correct but made of clear plastic with bright orange muzzle devices. It's probably not legal to take them home and paint them but I've never heard of a raid on an airsoft match.
