Airsoft Guns Target Recreational Extreme Sport Enthusiasts This Holiday...

This Christmas, many shoppers trying to purchase a gift for their recreational or extreme sport enthusiasts are questioning whether or not they should invest in airsoft or paintball. To meet this demand, AirSOCOM (http://www.airsocom.com/Airsoft/Replica_Brands/) where, other than the legally mandated bright orange tip, airsoft guns are often hard to tell from their real-world counterparts. In fact, airsoft combines military re-creation with the actuality of simulated combat. For law enforcement professionals, airsoft is an ideal training device since airsoft guns can accurately replicate the same weight, appearance, action, and in some cases blowback effect as the genuine weapon. Airsoft is used more in military and law enforcement reenactments than paintball. The components of the guns also differ. For example, paintball guns have a hopper that you pour paintball ammo into and airsoft guns use clips instead, which makes loading and unloading typically easier in airsoft as well as making it easier to carry around extra clips.

Ammunition used for paintball and the airsoft sport are also considerably different. In paintball, paintballs are used and plastic pellets or BB's (http://www.airsocom.com/Airsoft/airsoft_tactical_gear/) to even the location in which the sports are played. Airsoft players typically wear camouflage or ghillie suits (http://www.airsocom.com/Airsoft/airsoft_guns/gas_airsoft_guns/), that will also needed to be refilled, but the electric airsoft guns (http://www.airsocom.com/Airsoft/airsoft_guns/spring_airsoft_guns/) do not require gas. In relation to maintenance costs, there are other costs associated with each sport as well.Airsoft BB's are much cheaper than paintballs, as they generally run around $5 for 2000 or so BB's. Finally, the airsoft guns are generally cheaper than paintball guns too.

Finally, the other factor that has propelled recent airsoft demand is the recognition of being seen as a safer combat sport than paintball. Airsoft rounds are a lesser threat to players because they are less painful than paintball rounds. Paintball rounds contain more mass and therefore carry more kinetic energy than airsoft rounds, which can leave more bruising. Airsoft rounds, on the other hand, are smaller and hence have less kinetic energy.
