General information About airsoft:

A large amount of equipment exists for real world soldiers which is also usable in airsoft games. Some high-powered and well-upgraded airsoft sniper rifles can fire 6mm pellets at velocities of about 600 fps. Many airsoft guns, especially AEGs, come with small red plastic barrel blockers that fit over the muzzle, but these can be shot off the gun, and don't provide the quick visual check that a barrel bag does. Pellets are usually 6mm in diameter, but some guns fire 8mm instead. Backyard airsoft usually incorporates various yard items such as lawn chairs, children's toys and so on.


Some words on airsoft safety:

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. One commonly adopted practice is for players to shout the words "Cease-fire, Blind Man" or "Walker" and halt an ongoing game if a player or bystander is seen in the designated gameplay area without proper eye protection, proper eye protection being goggles and helmet. Any gun over 400fps can injure someone. 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.


Airsoft accessories:

50, for a container of about 2000, to around $16 USD, for a large tub of about 10,000. Most of these "pyro" devices are powered by a gas. 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.


Airsoft is very big on real 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. A makeshift APC in a MilSim game, here it is simulating a Blackhawk to insert USMC troops behind enemy lines. Some common game variations include Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Close Quarters Battle (that attempts to simulate real life Close Quarters Battle).
