How old do I have to be to buy an airsoft guns?
In the United States, to buy an airsoft gun, you must be 18 years old or older. This is because of the potential injury and damage an airsoft gun can cause when appropriate safety precautions are not followed. The laws vary from state to state when it comes to the age that a child may own an airsoft gun and how old they need to be before they no longer need to be supervised by an adult. Officially an airsoft gun is a toy and is not regulated as heavily as firearms. For the states that categorize the airsoft gun as a firearm, there are more regulations related to airsoft gun purchasing and owner. There are some states that dont allow anyone under 14 to own an airsoft gun. Once the gun is owned, there will be local laws and regulations that will affect the use of an airsoft gun.
