Air Soft-A Great Fun Game

Morgan Bailey

It is a form of game like paintball except it usually requires more than just shooting at random people in the woods. Usually airsoft is used for military training and the guns have a slight difference to paintball firearms. The only difference with them, is that they can be bought by almost anybody. They fire plastic BB's (little yellow pellets made of plastic) and are designed to not cause any harm to anyone. Primarily they are meant for military training, and come in useful when training in woods or built up areas, so that no harm is caused to any humans or animals. Plus the noise is reduced vastly from a real gun fire, to an Air soft gun going off.

Paintball is not always used for military training as it is very messy, and would require trainees to clean their uniforms after each session. Air soft is a much more feasible choice as there is less noise and no paint. However this is not the most used form of training for professional military academies, and is used like paintball or rebelling as a scenario game anyone can pay to go and do with friends and family.

Air soft

Most airsoft venues will provide a gun to use, it may be a pretty standard gun, but you can usually upgrade for an extra fee. Scenarios will be set up by an instructor and you will be informed at the beginning of the session of the do's and don'ts in airsoft game play. Commonly there will be two teams against each other, and they will have to both perform the objectives in order to win the battle, battle objectives vary from capturing flags to firing a special airsoft gun and so on. There will be about 5-6 of these games in a day depending on what games are played.

Another theme used with Air soft is historical re-enactments, you can pay to go and watch a show, or you can take part and have a role in the battle, whichever famous battle is taking place. You may have to show some skills and techniques when applying, as obviously they won't let just anyone perform as part of the battle if they are going to ruin it. Of course as it is a historical battle re-enactment, it has already been written as to which party wins and losses, so you have a duty to fulfil your obligation, and make sure the battle ends as intended.

You can get many types of Air soft guns from the internet, just do a simple Google, Yahoo or Bing search for, 'airsoft guns', and you'll be presented with more than enough options. Of course like with anything, price will vary from gun to gun, depending on how serious you are about the sport. You can almost replicate any gun style with an airsoft gun, there's rifles and machine guns, electric BB guns, and Co2 powered guns, pistols, shotgun replicas the list goes on.

Air soft is a great fun game to take all the family to, just be sure to protect your eyes as the only real danger involved is getting hit in the eye by a bullet. Most venues will cater for this danger though.
