In several countries that would not be a good idea. The laws on posessing and carrying weapons here in Europe are very restrictive. Have a look to the laws on knifes in the UK, for example.
Here in Germany you can be charged for showing a airsoft in public. And the fees can be enormous, depending on situation. It is, however, not a crime, it is an "Ordnungswidrigkeit" ("infringement of law" is what my dictionary calls that circumstance, I hope, this gives an idea to all of you.).
Well, the rest has been said. Some very fine handguns here in Europe, selling good on the international weapons market and very popular with law enforcement agencies all over the world.
