What is Airsoft? |
|
Airsoft as a sport is still relatively unknown in the public eye, the best way to describe it is it's a combat sport not unlike paintball but with less pain, more vibrant, realistic game scenarios and better weaponry. Go away from a day's airsofting and you'll realise this isn't a sport - it's an obsession!!
Airsofting or Airsoft Skirmishing is a combat sport in which teams will compete in carrying out objectives over a range of game scenarios. Airsoft guns or "AEG's" (Automatic Electric Gun) are battery powered and fire small 6mm plastic B.B's (Ball Bullets) in either semi auto or full auto. As B.B's do not leave a mark when they hit, Airsoft uses an honour system whereby the hit player will shout 'hit' and put their arm in the air to show they have been hit before walking to the regeneration point to re-enter the game.
Safety and Rules:
At all times players must obey the site rules and the word of the marshals is final. Players are issued with a facemask which must be worn at all times during play. Play will start and stop with a whistle. Before returning to the safe zone, all guns will have magazine removed, cleared, and safety on - and will remain in this state whilst in the safe zone. All applicable safety instructions and rules will be explained before the start of the day's play.
