What is airsoft ?

Airsoft is a modern recreational sport or hobby in which participants eliminate opponents by shooting one another with airsoft guns that fire small plastic projectiles called BB's not intended to injure.
When playing in tournaments or seriously (as opposed to casually), the clothing and equipment are often as realistic and historically accurate to a specific military conflict or era as possible, but clothing is usually casual when playing with friends.
Airsoft originated in Japan in the late 1980s, when airsoft guns were invented by Tanio Kobayashi due to the legal restriction on private ownership of firearms.
Airsoft remains popular in several Asian countries.
The vast majority of airsoft guns, accessories, and after market upgrade parts are also manufactured in these countries.
There is a growing interest in North America and Europe, especially the United States.
