Airsoft has enjoyed a huge increase in popularity recently. along with the rise, Airsoft has also gotten a lot of press as to whether the guns are safe or not. So are they? the answer is Yes and No; here’s why.
Before we go any further it is important to understand that Airsoft guns are not toys. they are highly detailed firearm simulations that fire plastic 6mm BBs at muzzle velocities of 100-400FPS. Like paintball guns, they are designed for use under controlled, private environments, and should be treated like a real fiream. Used correctly, airsoft is a fun way participate in paintball-like competitions and/or to enhance military simulations/training. Use of airsoft guns also develops the proper handling and respect for firearms. Parents should ensure that children under 18 should be supervised by an adult when using airsoft guns.
