Are you talking for practice or for competition. For practice they would be great, and I've looked into getting one to aid in my dry fire practice, but the good ones seem to be about as much as a real gun.

The only place I've heard of competition's is in IPSC, which is the world version of USPSA, and mostly in Japan where the don't like the people to own guns...

CED makes reactive targets for airsoft. The market seems to be geared toward IPSC indoor practice.

I remember LP going for the force on force angle. Then the rest of us failed to follow through.

Even with something as mild as airsoft, force on force training is very enlightening. Being a pistolero is a small % of self-defense.
Some people are like Slinkies - not really good for anything, but you can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
