Airsoft uses 6mm plastic or biodegradable bb pellets that do not break on impact like a paintball. The guns look realistic and they are true to life scale. Airsoft guns can either run off rechargeable batteries, spring pressure, or “green gas” which is like propane. Being honest and calling “hits” when shot is very important in airsoft because there is no way to tell if someone is marked or shot. Pros to airsoft are that it is not messy, bb’s are very inexpensive since they are just small plastic balls, and the guns look like real firearms. Cons to airsoft are that it requires an honor system to know when someone is hit, it is hard to see the bb’s fly once they leave the barrel of the gun, and the airsoft guns are more difficult to work on than paintball guns. Airsoft guns are also a bit larger and more difficult to handle for smaller kids. We recommend players be at least 12 years old to play airsoft. Both sports are very fun and offer something for everyone.
