About Airsoft

 Airsoft is a military simulation game similar to paintball, but much more realistic.  Airsoft games are played in, around buildings, and in outdoor areas, to defeat an opposing team in the Kent countryside.

Instead of messy paintballs, the guns fire BBs (6mm plastic balls, most often weighing a fifth of a gram). The guns look very realistic, replicating their real life counterparts. Hence, machine guns can fire up to 15 rounds per second, shotguns fire many at once, and sniper guns fire slowly but with more accuracy. Being hit stings a little, but causes no lasting pain.

The game started in Japan, and is now played all over the world. It is legal in the UK. As with all replica weapons, care and respect must be given at all times. For example, they should be out of public sight during transport, and never fired at animals or non-consenting people.

Who can play?

Anyone over the age of 16 can play airsoft or between the ages of 11 & 16 with parent consent. People who play Airsoft come from all walks of life with a varying experience.
