In terms of training for gun fights, would airsoft have any decent carryover to reality? If yes, how would a guy go about improving his skills? (assuming no prior training)
In either paintball or airsoft, the answer is some. There are tactics you can get away with in paintball or airsoft that would fail in an actual fight with real firearms. But it's not a complete wash.
I've got a decent paintball kit, bought about six years ago now; can get lots of gear at army surplus stores. I'd wanted to play when I first heard about it in the early 90s. Anyway, your sentence about tactics made me smile. As former USMC 0321, my biggest learning curve with paintball was changing how I lead a target that's running - missed plenty of guys because I was leading my shots by inches instead of feet.
