Airsoft guns can be the answer
TITLE: AIRSOFT GUNS CAN BE THE ANSWER
We all have fears of one type or another. I know a number of people who fear firearms and I know a number of people who simply do not like guns of any kind. Personally, my fears are very limited in number and perhaps much too small to be important. Yet, I loved playing with guns as a kid and still do as an adult.
Each of us can list likes, fears, pleasures, and woes. Yet, joining that friendly airsoft gun skirmish using my airsoft guns is truly exciting. The airsoft gun skirmish may be less desired by some; but can be a fantasy come true and good exercise for others.
WHAT IS AIRSOFT?
The label given to the sport and / or hobby of collecting 1:1 replicas of real firearms is Airsoft and Airsoft guns are manufactured to be non-lethal. These special guns will only accept ammunition of soft BBs or pellets; typically larger than the BB’s sold in many local sporting goods stores.
Airsoft guns feature airsoft rifles or pistols, are manufactured as pure toys [made of mostly toy plastic) and not realistic in appearance or can be manufactured to resemble the real thing. The gun could have the weight, mechanisms, touch, etc. of the real firearm [i.e. colt 45, M16, AK47, etc]. To distinguish an airsoft gun from the real weapon, a bright orange tip is required on all airsoft guns; whether imported to the US or manufactured in the US [required by US law and regulated by local state, county, city ordinances] and the actual airsoft gun propulsion system isolates airsoft guns from real guns.
Real guns shoot a deadly propellant by means of a firing pin against an explosive. Airsoft guns fire a non-lethal propellant via a burst of air. The method used to generate that burst of air distinguishes airsoft gun operations [i.e. spring, gas or electric].
WHAT DOES AIRSOFT DO?
Airsoft gun history takes its start in the 1970′s Japan. It was illegal and punishable by Japan law to possessing any type of firearm. Yet, being able to fire a weapon was a personal desire of many in Japan.
The principle of ‘supply and demand’ introduced manufacturers who would supply the desire of Japan with a non-lethal variation of a gun. A new product called an airsoft guns addressed the Japanese demand for firearm usage, but without the lethal effects that Japanese law addressed. That supply reached the United States in the 1990′s and addressed our demand for firearm usage without the expense and lethal affects that the real guns maintained. The Airsoft Gun industry gave Japan a boost in their economy and even a greater boost when those products reached export levels that included United States.
Since airsoft guns fire a non-lethal propellant via a burst of air; airsoft players and collectors differed in desire relative to the method used to generate that burst of air.
HOW DOES AIRSOFT WORK?
Three styles of airsoft guns have developed since the early 1970′s and unique methods were used to generate the burst of air. Each airsoft gun type provided positive and negative characteristics. These characteristic would appeal differently to the players who use airsoft guns.
SPRING airsoft guns hit the market first and became the gun of choice for those new to this sport and collection. Start-up costs and operational ease are definite advantage for the novice. As the name suggests; the players simply cock the spring of the gun before firing the airsoft gun. Whether an airsoft pistol, rifle, or automatic, the players cock the spring, before firing the gun.
GAS airsoft guns hit the market next and became the target collectors and skirmish players. Cost factors increased a bit, but gloriously so did the firing distance, realism in usage, and simplicity of operations. A gas powered storage system was built into the airsoft gun or the magazine for that airsoft gun. When triggered the Gas gun would propel the BB or pellet from the gun’s barrel , empty a magazine as fast as you can pull the trigger, and (if the airsoft gun is a ‘gas-blowback’) allowed for the recoil operation of the gun’s receiver.
ELECTRIC airsoft guns hit the market next and became the pride and joy of those seasoned to airsoft gun skirmishes and collections of dream guns. What was unique to the radio controlled cars and aircrafts industries expanded to the airsoft gun industry. Motorized gear systems of air propulsion that utilize a battery powered source of energy are built into electric air soft pistols and rifle. The battery system can be a battery replacement system or a battery rechargeable system. Either way, this advanced operation increased the rate of fire (ROP) to a more realistic level of 600 – 900 rounds per minute (RPM). These airsoft guns can impersonate and support the fully automatic features of most AEG brands and truly give greater excitement to the airsoft players.
WHY DOES AIRSOFT WORK?
Each generation of childhood games have some form of good against evil. As a kid, my games were various types of cops and robbers. This was a big thing in my Chicago neighborhood and involved running in and out of back yards, jumping fences, avoiding cars in the streets and alley and hiding in the bushes just to ambush a friend. This was our way of experiencing a tension breaker from the pressure of chores and homework; thus I survived childhood. As an adult, I’d be viewed as strange if I played cops and robbers at my age.
The appeal to own a collection of special guns without the lethal element that has been associated with guns. The appeal to role play historic gun carrying heroes or SWAT rescue operations or Navy Seal secret missions or just plain old capture the flag. The appeal to join a weekend skirmish of friendly combat with friends and family and the barbecue that follows was a must. This is a definite stress reduction method for those devoted to the weekly stressful demands placed on students, legal secretaries, mothers/fathers, personal bankers, sales persons, and more.
CONCLUSION
Airsoft evolution may have started in the 1970′s Japan but today’s USA definitely demonstrates the thrills. Our search engines can show us the airsoft gun clubs, the teams, and the organizations that sponsor safe, organized airsoft gun skirmishes in your neighborhoods.
Play safe (know the laws of your state, county, and city), play fair (respect those you associate with), and play hard (enjoy the sport and the exercise). Plan the airsoft combat field operation in your area (impersonate the general or commander and orchestrate that strategic military operation).
