Whats With All the Airsoft Pistols, Rifles, and Shotguns?
Airsoft is not a new sport per se but is not as widely known as paintball. It involves players attempting to eliminate each other by shooting plastic BBs at each other. There are airsoft pistols, rifles and shotguns. The main difference between airsoft and paintball is that the bbs do not break therefore you have to use the honor system. This works just fine if you’re playing with the right kinds of people. Airsoft started in Japan because the japans people were not allowed to own real weapons so the created replicas while airsoft did officially start in Japan I know my dad was playing a similar version with single pump bb guns (think red rider) and think jackets. Now we all realize the dangers of shooting metal bb’s at each other (you’ll shoot your eye out )but boys will be boys and in the 1950s this was just good old fun. Well Japan figured out a way to make it much safer, although you still need to wear eye protection at a minimum, by using plastic bb’s. The sport gradually progress
