Airsoft 101

What is Airsoft?

All Though when asked its hard to explain Airsofters find it hard with out referencing paintball. Airsoft runs along the same lines as paintball but with the aim to provide a event on a grander scale and more realistic.

Airsoft Involved 2+ Teams competing to complete events or missions to achieve a target with realistic Airsoft Guns based on 1:1 of the real steel version.

In Airsoft you use 6mm Plastic ball bearings / bbs to try shoot your opponent and take them out of the game to complete your objective.
