What is Airsoft?
Airsoft started in Japan
in the 1980's and takes a similar form to Paintball. The major difference is
the equipment and ammunition.
Airsoft uses 1:1 Scale
replicas of real weapons everything from side arms "Pistols" to fully automatic
electric rifles, the ammunition is round 6mm BB's.
Does it Hurt?
I would be lying if
I said "No no no it never hurts". If you are shot at close range, especially
if it's a head shot it can smart a bit! but this is a rare event most of the
time you may not even realise you have been hit.
Who Skirmishes?
Anyone the any age any
gender can skirmish. but a few things to be aware of.
- You must be over
17 to buy equipment this is our policy and also that of the other reputable
suppliers.
- some sites have
age restrictions on certain days so always check and let them know if
there is a young member of the team to avoid disappointment upon arrival.
What is an AEG?
An AEG is the abbreviation
for an All Electric Gun this is the most popular weapon of airsofters
How do I get kitted out?
It is a sport, like all
others you can turn up at a site and skirmish using hired equipment from the
site, however I guarantee before long you will want your own gear.
Of course we sell everything
you may require browse out catalogue. For "Newbie's" you may like to start small there is
something for all pockets available from single-action spring pistols starting
