Airsoft

Airsoft is a recreational shooting sport in which players use low-powered guns to fire small plastic pellets, often in team-based games.

Airsoft gun: A replica-style gun that propels small plastic pellets using a spring, compressed gas, or an electric motor. These are the devices that propel pellets during airsoft games.
MilSim: A military simulation activity that recreates selected features of military operations for civilian participants. Airsoft replicas and team play make airsoft a common platform for MilSim.
Paintball: A shooting sport in which players use markers to propel paint-filled capsules at opponents. Paintball uses larger marking projectiles and different equipment than airsoft.
Airsoft safety: Rules and practices designed to reduce injury and confusion during airsoft play. Safe play depends on protective equipment, handling rules, and controlled firing distances.
Electric airsoft gun: An airsoft gun powered by a battery-driven motor and spring-piston mechanism. Electric drives make sustained automatic fire possible in many airsoft guns.
Speedsoft: A fast-paced airsoft format emphasizing movement, rapid engagements, and competitive play. It uses airsoft equipment in a highly athletic, tournament-oriented format.
Laser tag: A recreational game in which players score hits using infrared-emitting devices and sensors. Laser tag simulates shooting without physical projectiles.
Protective equipment: Equipment worn or used to reduce exposure to injury and other hazards. Face and eye protection are central safeguards against airsoft impacts.
Gas airsoft gun: An airsoft gun that uses compressed gas to propel pellets, often with a moving slide or bolt. Gas systems create recoil-like movement and power many realistic replicas.
Airsoft skirmish: A recreational airsoft game in which teams compete in scenarios such as elimination or objective capture. Skirmishes are the basic organized games played with airsoft guns.
