General information On airsoft:

An "honor system" is employed whereby the players rely on each others honesty to admit to being hit, because unlike paintball, the plastic pellets stop on hitting clothing. Backyard airsoft usually incorporates various yard items such as lawn chairs, children's toys and so on. Some players even wear military-style helmets, such as the kevlar MICH helmet, or hydration systems, such as those manufactured by Camelbak. Pellets are usually 6mm in diameter, but some guns fire 8mm instead. Some airsoft sites allow the use of pyrotechnics, which are small explosive-driven replicas of ordnance such as grenades.


Some words about airsoft safety:

In many jurisdictions, using an imitation firearm to commit a crime (which often includes the generic term of "brandishing") carries the same penalty as if a real firearm were used because of the intent to kill. There have been a few highly isolated cases of airsoft guns being mistaken for real firearms, and some cases where armed law enforcement units have responded to tips of unlawful firearm use. In the United Kingdom, the use or possession of any kind of replica weapon, loaded or otherwise in a public place is an offence which can carry heavy penalties except under specific conditions. A player is required to keep their face mask/goggles/shooting glasses on at all times.


Airsoft accessories:

And while most players, if they do at all use grenade launchers, will simply use an underbarrell launcher such as the M203, some players purchase heavier support weapons such as replicas of the Heckler & Koch 69 40mm grenade launcher, or a CAW revolving launcher, which can hold up to 6 40mm gas powered pellet grenades, (the pellet capacity of each grenade varies by its producer, and specified use, though grenades by MadBull Airsoft have been known to be able to fire over 200 pellets in a single shot), and shoot them in a semi-automatic mode. Heavier rounds are used for sniping, because they are totally effective dependent on gun, used mainly for quality airsoft sniper rifles, (especially upgraded ones with powerful springs), have enough power to put the round where they want it, and the heavy rounds have greater mass and are less likely to move off-target due simply to air resistance. Mines are not popular in some cases either, because most only produce a mushroom cloud when activated without actually firing pellets, but an equally large amount of mines do fire 6mm pellets in large masses, similar to an M203 launcher.


Airsoft is very big on authentic life like cenerios. Here are some thoughts on that:

MILSIM-games often last several days, for example the large BERGET-event in Sweden lasts 6 days in a row, with no breaks. Airsoft players in a World War II re-enactment. Many Mil-Sim players choose to wear real gear (not an airsoft replica) and in some cases, real ballistic protective armor.
