Fearful Silence Airsoft

What is Airsoft?

Airsoft is a sport similar to paintball in that players aim to eliminate other players in either team or individual based games. The players aim to do this by firing 6mm plastic BBs (Ball Bearings) or sometimes 8mm plastic BBs at each other.

Airsoft as a sport is based more on realism as the weapons that you use are 1:1 replicas of real world weapons such as M4s, AK47s and M14s. Following on from this, players like to match their kit to their weapons and often spend money getting the perfect 'Load Out' to match the weapon that they have. Most players just enjoy wearing some camo and having a weapon that they like the look of and others play purely for the pleasure of it.

The games that are played in airsoft are based more so in reality than in paintball, as a scenario is often given to the gaming day that adds realism and objectives to the games. Unlike paintball, in each game you play the entire playing area is allowed to be used and not sectioned off into gaming 'arenas'. This also helps to add to the realism of the day.

Airsoft by nature is more realistic, tactical and allows for extreme enjoyment and complete absorption into the scenario. Airsoft is a team sport with a loyal following of players, sites and manufacturers that will continue to evolve as time goes on. The games are bound by rules in every circumstance, so stick to them.
