It also would be just as illegal.
It actually is the perception of the other person in most states that determines whether you have a real weapon or not.
You could be charged with Brandishing even though it's an airsoft pistol.
Not only that but you would give the other person the RIGHT to escalate, because they could say they were in fear of their life and believed you were armed. Even if they pulled their own pistol and shot you.
