What is Airsoft?

Airsoft is a hobby, sport or discipline where replica firearms (such as pistols, assault and sniper rifles) that shoot 6mm plastic rounds are used for personal collection gaming  or professional training purposes (Military Simulations and Police training exercises). The difference between airsoft firearms and BB guns is that the former uses plastic bullets and have muzzle velocities of less than 500 feet per second (FPS) on average which is generally considered safe/non-lethal when used in a controlled environment. BB guns utilize metal ammunition and shoot at higher velocities (up to, and over 1000 FPS), making them unsuitable for gaming and training purposes.

Airsoft games vary greatly in style and composition depending on location, budget, and the quantity of participants but often range from short-term skirmishes and organized scenarios to military simulations and historical reenactments.

Airsoft offers enthusiast a more accurate "gun" experience at a safe and affordable alternative to what can be an expensive and dangerous sport of firearms.  Many military, police and other law enforcement agencies have embraced the use of airsoft as an economic and safer alternative to training. 

Top manufacturers like Tokyo Marui, Classic Army, ICS, JinGong (JG) and many others are continually innovating and pushing the envelop in gun accuracy, power, reliability and cost.
