By Marcia Marks


Airsoft is a recreational sport that involves firing non metallic pellets at other players from an Airsoft gun. There are many different ways to enjoy the sport, it can be played one on one or in teams. An Airsoft game maybe a short term skirmish, military simulation, organised scenario and many others. Many Airsoft fans make up their own scenarios, which are often emulations of military, police or gangster scenarios. There are Toronto Airsoft groups that regularly arrange games in the city, i

Many Airsoft games use the tactics that are commonly used in the military and there is usually a specific object for a team or individual to reach. Also, players typically use emulations of tactical equipment in order to achieve their objective. There is also a required level of safety in competitions and games and safety equipment is necessary. These include special safety goggles and a face mask to provide protection to the face. It is also important that player stick to a minimum firing distance so that the pellet does not cause their opponent any pain.

Many groups employ certain safety rules, such as having a maximum muzzle velocity and shooting distance guidelines. Owning these guns is legal in most countries, although markings are typically required in order to distinguish them from real firearms.

The guns used in the sport include, electric powered guns, spring powered guns and green gas guns. The best gun is powered by green gas as it gives the player the ability to fire continuously without needing to cock the gun. They also have a more realistic kick just like a real gun, making them more fun to use. They are also more accurate and give the player a significant advantage in the field.

Many Airsoft guns are manufactured to resemble actual firearms. They are extremely detailed have are the same size, weight and operation as their real counterparts. There are replicas of War War 2 firearms, sniper rifles, modern firearms, grenade launchers and much more. There are even Al Capone style 1920s gangster style guns and guns used by the police that open up many opportunities to create exciting scenarios.

The majority of guns fire white plastic pellets that usually weigh between 0.20 grams to 0.25 grams depending on the gun. Sniper rifles will use heavier pellets for greater accuracy as they are not so affected by the wind. Pellets are usually supplied in bottles containing 2000 or 5000 pellets. Grenade launchers use balls made from foam to emulate real grenades.

Many Airsoft rifles and pistol employ the Hopup system that creates better range. This is because the system puts backspin onto pellets when they are fired and makes them rise upwards slightly. Hopup can be adjusted for backspin, although the normal setting is usually fine for most players.

Airsoft is an incredibly fun and exciting sport that is increasing in popularity across the world. Those who live in Toronto will be able to find a group offering competitions and games in the city by searching for Toronto Airsoft on the internet.
