Airsoft
Airsoft is an Extreme Sport based on Military & Tactical Simulation

Airsoft was invented in Japan because of a ban on civilian possession and use of firearms, dating from the end of World War II. Began to appear on a 1:1 scale exact copies of real guns. These replicas were warmly received, for those who wanted to shoot and collect guns and would not break the law.

That's why one of the priorities of Airsoft is able to replicate (hence the name commonly given: Replica) real-world weapons and some airsoft manufacturers acquire licenses to replicate the trademarks of the manufacturers weapons.
​
This activity is based on the simulation of combat using replica guns (which fire pellets "BB's" of PLGA or Biodegradable 6 or 8 mm in diameter) in a playset similar to a real situation with real equipment or Similitar the Military.

Eye Protection "Eye Pro"
It is compulsory to wear proper eye protection
AT ALL TIMES
even in the Safe Zone.

Means proper Eye Erotection safety glasses or mask anti-impact to prevent the passage of BBs into your eyes and follow eye safety parameters of
ANSI Z87.1 or ANSI Z80.3.

The Honor System
One of the foundations of Airsoft is trust and honesty of the operator, since there is no way to check if someone has been Hit. The player who receives it has to shout a word agreed (eg: HIT!, Out, Lost, Eliminated, etc.).
making known to others that have been Hit, retiring from the field with a hand Up or giving any sign letting other know that is Eliminated. also used is a red cloth "Dead Rag" to signal that the player is out the game. Operators worst seen in this community are the "Zombies" (an Operator which is never Hit!!!) for obvious reasons, and the "infallible" because they always claim to have hit the enemy, whether is true or not.

Orange Tip
Federal law in the United States requires that a 6 mm (0.24 in) orange tip to be present on all "toy guns" (including airsoft replicas) while being imported or transferred domestically into/within the United States. These brightly colored tips show the difference between real and replica firearms, which helps to ensure safety.
​
The Code of Federal Regulations Title 15, part 1150.2, states "no person shall manufacture, enter into commerce, ship, transport, or receive any toy, look-alike, or imitation firearm" without the requisite blaze orange marking. A waiver may be obtained (1150.5) by the theatrical, movie, or television industries.
