I was at the store last night and saw an article in "shotgun news" magazine. The article was at least 6 or 7 pages long and had a lot of pictures of different airsoft weapons.
The article explained the different types of GBB's, AEG's and springers. It also gave a brief history of airsoft in general. The author compared the real steal versions to the airsoft, commenting on the fact that most airsoft weapons are exact replicas and hard to distinguish from their real steal counterparts. The title was something like "Airoft: Menance or Mecca". There were some pics from the MOUT training OP in SOCAL some went to last year. The author was an airsofter but gave a very unbiased opinion on whether or not these weapons should be banned.
