Airsoft is a game that simulates real-life combat and is way more realistic than paintball. It’s a military-style, competitive team sport where players try to hit each other with small projectiles in a tactical environment. There are loads of ways to play, from simple capture the flag and elimination games to more serious missions with objectives, and it’s super addictive. Did we mention that Airsoft is super fun?

What Is Airsoft?
If you’ve ever played paintball, you might have some idea of Airsoft. Maybe you’ve shot a BB gun before or are a paintball expert who’s never heard of Airsoft. That’s totally fine. The point here is to get you up to speed.
In short, Airsoft is a military-style, competitive team shooting sport where one team tries to eliminate the other to claim victory. The guns, called RIFs (Realistic Imitation Firearms), look almost identical to real firearms. When you add tactical vests and helmets into the mix, it’s easy to feel like you’re in a far-too-real warzone.
Is Airsoft the Same as Paintball?
While there are similarities, Airsoft is more focused on realistic military simulation. The guns fire 6mm plastic pellets that are smaller, lighter, and less messy than paintballs.
Gameplay and Fun
Once a player is hit, they’re out, so honesty is key. Players stick to a code of honour to make sure everyone has fun. Beyond the usual team deathmatch, you can try capture the flag, king of the hill, close quarter combat, or other game formats. Seriously, nothing beats a game of capture the flag, Airsoft style.
Safety First
Airsoft can still cause injury if you’re not protected. Full-seal eye protection is mandatory, and guns should never be aimed at faces from close range. Our team enforces safety rules so everyone can enjoy the game without worry.
