Airsoft is a sport similar to paintball where players take part in detailed military simulations, reenactments and games using realistically designed guns which shoot soft pellets. The difference between airsoft and paintball is that paintball guns are powered most often by a compressed tank of gas and are thought to be more accurate over longer distances. Plus, paintball guns shoot paint spheres while airsoft guns shoot pellets. Both paintballs and pellets have the potential for causing serious injury if proper safety gear is not worn at all times on the field. If you’ll be participating in a simulation where you will be a sniper, you will definitely need an airsoft gun scope. Even if you won’t be sniping, a scope can be handy thing to have.

Because it can be impossible to discern an airsoft gun from a real gun, countries including the U.S. require the tips to be painted blaze orange.

As you can imagine, plastic pellets can be quite painful when they hit the skin at high velocity. Depending on the range, an airsoft pellet can sting, bruise or even break the skin. While injury from airsoft gun pellets is not usually life threatening, it can be very serious especially if the injury is to the eye.
