What is airsoft?
Airsoft is a game in which participants eliminate opponents by hitting each other with spherical non-metallic pelletsfired from a compressed-air gun (or airsoft gun) powered by gas,compressed air, manual spring-load, or electrically powered gearbox.
Airsoft participants organize meetings at dedicated airsoft battlefields often adapted to provide walls, bunkers, trenches, buildings, towers, and other similar man-made field enhancements to offer realism analogous to real war environments.
Airsoft games vary greatly in style and composition depending on location, budget, and quantity of participants but often range from short-term skirmishes, organized scenarios, military simulation or historical re-enactments.
Combat situations on the battlefield often involve the use of common military tacticsto achieve the objectives set in each game. Participants typically use varying types of non-lethal weaponry designed as replicas of real firearms, tactical gear, and accessories used by modern military and police organizations.
