Does Oregon consider airsoft guns a firearm?

i am not sure about bb guns, but i do know that airsoft guns are legal. Because airsoft guns are considered toys by the government, you should be allowed to use them as long as you have your orange tip on your gun and are careful who you aim at.

The previous answer does not answer the question posed. It is an opinion, and everyone has one.

The law is not state wide, it is based on the city or county where you are shooting your airsoft gun at. So like with any law it is best to contact the local authorities. The shooting of airsoft guns is illegal in Beaverton though.

The following is a quote from the (SEE THE LINK BELOW ) :

The approved ordinance regulates possession of replica firearms in public places including highways, streets, schools, places of amusement, parks, playgrounds, public transportation centers and common areas of apartments and hotels.

Under the ordinance, a replica firearm is any toy or imitation that substantially duplicates a lethal firearm or can reasonably be perceived to be an actual firearm.

The rules would not apply to brightly colored toy guns or those constructed of transparent or translucent materials.

It also does not restrict the use of replica guns on private property, including backyards.

Anyone violating the ordinance could get a citation.
