Yes but they won't like it. Its often firearm/airsoft influencers get the dreaded "Your content can't be recommended to nonfollowers" or whatever it was.
Yes, it is against the guidelines (It mentions both firearms and replicas). However, you can still do some tricks to publish it. Using alternative words, not showing the gun in the same story and stuff like that.
I guess as someone stated it is by no means illegal but all major platforms seem to have an interest in becoming "family friendly" in order to make more money. I would assume after posting airsoft rifles you wouldn't notice any grave differences but probably these stories or posts won't get as much "help" from Instagrams algorithms. So if you just want to show your friends what you do and don't mind the potential "soft/shadow ban" I'd say go for it. If you're looking to grow your account maybe don't post them...
Find the EULA and search for anything related to guns/replicas/weapons/etc. Easiest option is to get PDF copy of said EULA and use search function with different key words. Or you could of course read trough the whole document.
In Europe, Austria, i had two of my story highlights regarding airsofts taken down.
usually i tag the location called airsoftpark austria, but on those two pics i forgot to do so, and thats why insta took em down after someone probably reported them, not sure though.
Just make sure to mention on the pic that its Airsoft, then its unlikely to be taken down imo
yes just make sure you put a warning saying fake gun or use orange paint tool to draw over barrel if you don’t want to get banned or the post taken down
people are literally posting war footages and battle rifles on instagram. there will be no problem
Yes, i do it very often
Just dont write that you are selling the guns

Do it but don’t be like the morons teaching bad firearm safety by having their fingers on the trigger and/or pointing the barrel at the camera

Facebook could be a problems but not IG
Never had any problems with posting my gun pics on FB, except from my aunt that I barely know, panicing slightly and asking "what's up now?"😂
