FAQ
"What the hell is Airsoft?"- The short answer - tag with specially made BB guns...
- The long answer - a military simulation game using replica weapons that shoot small
projectile bb's. Law enforcement and the military sometimes use this game as a training aid...
Are they different than regular BB guns?
- YES, DEFINITELY, DO NOT SUBSTITUTE a regular BB gun for an AIRSOFT weapon...
The BB's are quite different (Airsoft rounds (bb's) are made from plastic or a composite material and come in .12g, .20g, .25g, and .30 g and are either .6mm (the most common) or .9mm
Does Airsoft hurt?
Ok, you're a Klingon asking if getting hit by a flying plastic ball at 100-350 fps hurts... You weakling
- yes, it can... But it more or less stings a bit depending on the power of the weapon and range.
Are the weapons cheap?
- Yes, Airsoft is way cheaper than paintball, and just as much fun, if not more because the weapons are replicas of actual weaponry...
Is it dangerous?
NOT IF YOU FOLLOW COMMON SENSE AND SAFETY REGS...
- Getting shot in the eye hurts like hell (I know) and may cause blindness
- Terrain can be murder on your joints (especially for us that are a bit weathered)
