So, who know what is Airsoft? Well, let me educate you a bit about airsoft ;)
Airsoft is an extreme game played indoor or outdoor. It is almost the same as paintball, the main differences between the two are: the guns, the goggles to protect your eyes and the costs.
The guns are different because they look like real ones, and shoot BB’s instead of paint balls. They still hurt believe me. Also, we only use goggles to protect the eyes instead of a mask that covers the whole face.
Finally, the costs. An airsoft gun could cost you between 600$ and 2800$, sometimes even more. The good thing is that the BB’s are really cheep. One bag of 3000 for 20$, and the game can cost between 10$ and 30$. The suit is not mandatory unless you play for a team, then you need to dress the same. One game could hold up to 200 players (its like a real war).
There is one disadvantage, to play airsfot, you need to know someone who plays already. To play paintball, all you need to do is to look for centre on the yellow pages.
I wont say that airsoft is a closed club, the reason why it is like that is because it is still an unknown.
I have played airsoft for 5 years. It was the best leisure in my life. To me it is like a game of hide and seek for adults. It was also a good opportunity to socialize and enjoy nature.
Why I had to quit? Money. Big big issue. Specially if you play in a team. You are constantly buying new stuff and upgrading your gun or guns. I am looking to rejoin the community in the near future, hopefully next summer.
