Although airsoft guns were originally designed as toys, they have also gained popularity with law enforcement officials as training tools. Airsoft guns have a lower velocity than traditional BB guns, which makes them safer in training situations. In recent years, airsoft guns have also become popular for recreational shooting and gaming.As a sport, Airsoft can simulate military combat much like paintball. However, in contrast to paintball, airsoft guns shoot 6mm hollow plastic BBs instead of spheres of paint. The extensive variety of airsoft guns to choose from are often accurate reproductions of real weapons. Amongst these are the spring air pistols, gas powered pistols and electric airsoft guns. If you are an entry-level airsoft gun enthusiast, the low-maintenance design of the spring air pistol is probably your best choice.
Each of these airsoft guns have a unique propulsion system that uses only a small amount of air to shoot plastic BB pellets. Airsoft guns can be used to shoot at indoor paper targets at a range of 15 to 18 feet. For gaming, the minimal effect range is 35 feet.
In order to distinguish them from actual firearms, federal law requires airsoft guns to have a day-glow orange plug on the barrel. When playing with airsoft guns, it is advisable to take the same safety precautions that you would take if you were playing paintball. Impact-resistant goggles to protect the eyes and a full paintball mask to protect the mouth are crucial to your safety.
