Brief understanding of airsoft
Airsoft is a hobby that originated in the US about 30 years ago in a very rudimentary form and existed for only a short while. However, the concept took hold in Japan where in the past 20 years they developed the hobby to its current level of sophistication and realism.
It consists of replica weapons that shoot 6mm plastic round bb projectiles at a relatively low velocity (from 300 -400 fps). The guns are powered by compressed gas or rechargeable batteries and are basically a 1:1 ratio in replica size with functional controls similar to their real firearm counterparts.
Airsoft is not only for the individual citizen, but is used extensively in law enforcement and military training. Thereby, allowing participants the ability to relive actual past law enforcement or military training and experiences, or opening up new experiences to individuals that are unaccustomed to what law enforcement and military personnel actually experience in a controlled environment.
There are tense situations, intense sport play, comedic and colorful characters, shows of patriotism and an all around good feeling at the end of the day.
