You learn the handling, but since the active feedback (recoil, movement) is different you can start expecting results that should or would never exist.
This can be extremely detrimental in competitive shooting. There is a lot of details in competitions that just dont apply to airsoft.
I'll name a few that have an effect in one form or another; range, recoil, sound, being able to see the projectile fly away. Taget shooting (IPSC included) is not just technique, it is muscle-memory, breathing, learning to shoot between heartbeats, and extremely fine motor control.
If your training aide does not match what your real gun does, it's not good.
If the gun you shoot all the time was a competition .22, it would not matter so much. With centerfire, it does.
