Airsoft is a leisure sport which is being enjoyed by a lot of hobbyists around the world, particularly the United States. Airsoft games are primarily a team sport with the objective of eliminating all the personnel of the opposing team. Before the start of airsoft games, the participants are divided into teams who will now assume a role playing position in a war simulation activity. The gear that are used in the game, particularly the weapons, closely resembles the real thing and might even be mistaken for an authentic gun by anyone who sees it. This is why there are certain rules that an airsoft player must strictly adhere to in order to avoid any untoward incidents from happening.
The weapons used in airsoft games are generally known as an Automatic Electric Gun, or AEG. There are several models of AEG, which corresponds to actual gun models such as the Heckler and Koch MP5, G36, MP210 Sub Machine Guns, Kalashnikov AK47, Mauser Pro Tactical Sniper Rifles, Steyr AUG, Black Eagle M6 Sniper Rifle, Stinger R34, Pulse R76, CQB Special Ops Shotgun, Sig Sauer 552, M4 Carbine, M15A4 rifles, and many other authentic firearm models. These AEG replicas closely resemble their genuine counterparts in terms of appearance, weight, handling, operations, and functions. The only difference is perhaps the fact that authentic firearms fire deadly bullets while these replicas fire biodegradable gun pellets at an average velocity of seven hundred feet per second.
Yet despite the fact that they are only replicas, they are often mistaken for actual guns and because of this, AEG owners are often reminded to follow the rules on what to avoid when they are in possession of these devices.
Perhaps the most important thing that game organizers and participants must avoid is carrying out the game in areas where there will be a chance that non-participating bystanders might get hurt. Airsoft games must be operated only in secured and properly designated environment where it is free of bystanders, observers, or any untrained passersby who might mistake your AEG for a real firearm and will most likely call 911 to report what they may thought as an actual firefight.
As a responsible AEG owner, you must also avoid any urge to exhibit or discharge your gun replica in public places like streets, parking lots, schools, sports fields, parks, stores, or any similar place where it could be mistaken for a real firearm. Doing so may result in your possible arrest, bodily injury, or worse, it can even cause an incident which may lead to your death. It might also add to the already tight restrictions surrounding airsoft games.
Avoiding these things will surely ensure your safety, as well as the security of the people around you. With these precautions always in every participant's minds, airsoft games will continue to flourish.
