Airsoft: The Best Outdoor Rec Room Game

Airsoft is a sport that uses replica firearms to shoot plastic BBs at opponents. The game can be played outdoors or indoors in designated areas. Airsoft is often compared to paintball, but there are some key differences between the two sports.

For example, airsoft guns are typically powered by springs, compressed air or batteries, as opposed to paintball markers that are usually powered by CO2.

Airsoft also has some notable benefits over paintball such as the lack of bulky protective clothing, so players can run and jump on an airsoft field without getting sweaty and uncomfortable. Also, airsoft is typically less expensive to play than paintball.

Airsoft is a sport that can be played with various levels of gear, from no gear at all to full tactical gear. If you're just starting out, I recommend playing in a designated airsoft field where the staff can provide you with all the necessary gear.

If you're already familiar with the sport and have your own gear, I recommend wearing a face mask to protect your eyes and teeth, as well as clothing that covers as much skin as possible.

Knee and elbow pads are also recommended if you're playing in the woods or on an outdoor paintball course.

Your gun is the most important piece of equipment and I recommend using a spring-powered airsoft pistol to start out with since they're inexpensive and easy to use. To choose an appropriate gun for you, you can take help of airsoft gun guides from the accurately shooting blog.

Finally, you'll need plenty of ammo which is typically sold by weight, so whether you play in the backyard with your friends or at an airsoft field, be prepared to buy more ammo than you think you'll need.

If you're new to the sport, it's recommended that you play at an established field or outdoor paintball course where there are experienced referees and staff who will guide you through your first game.

It's also a good idea to attend an airsoft safety briefing before playing your first game. These briefings will teach you the basic rules of the game and how to safely handle your airsoft gun.

The basic rules of airsoft are simple and easy to follow. When you're playing, be sure to keep your gun pointed at the ground or another non-player. Don't aim for the head or any clothing that does not have protective padding, as injuries are very common with airsoft guns.

Be sure you're wearing protective gear before playing on an outdoor field, and always speak up if you accidentally hit someone with your gun.

Airsoft guns come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but all of them use 6mm plastic BBs to shoot at opponents. The most common type of airsoft gun is the assault rifle, followed by the submachine gun and sniper rifle. There are also a variety of personal defence weapons (PDWs), shotguns, light machine guns and pistols to choose from.
