Have you ever heard of paintball? Airsoft is similar except there is no paint involved and uses smaller plastic pellets. Here at VIPAirsoft, we regulate all of the equipment brought into the field for safety and to ensure our players are having fun! Dont be fooled by the name of the sport. The name was coined by the Daisy BB gun company to market a newly created BB gun rifle using plastic projectiles contrary to their usual metal ball bearings. These new plastic BBs were safer to shoot at opposing players with. The game has since expanded to the sport it is today with more sophisticated guns, more accurate guns, and safer BBs.

Airsoft is a military simulation sport where players participate in mock combat with authentic military-style weapons and tactics. Unlike paintball, airsoft uses 6mm round BBs made of hard plastic. The guns used are full scale replicas of real world weapons.

Airsoft needs a system to set up professional and exciting competitive games, and it would benefit from imitating the ranking system of League of Legend

Airsoft needs to have more regulation against cheaters. It cannot rely on players to be honorable all the time. If caught cheating intentionally, merciless punishment must be given to cheaters

Airsoft needs to provides a broad viewing angle for the viewers to keep them excited and engage. More people will watch, and big companies will be more likely to sponsor the game. Overwatch serves as a great example.

Your Hop-Up Unit

When it comes to accuracy and consistency, it is essential that you have a quality hop-up unit. Most airsoft gun comes with a “stock hop-up” that tends to suck unless you’re buying from G&G. Their stock hop-up is decent in comparison to others

Hop-up helps your BBs fight the force of gravity and air friction by making your BBs spin in a specific manner. It determines how your BBs are traveling through your barrel and towards your target. Your gun’s accuracy, consistency, and range rely heavily on the quality of your hop-up

We know that hop-up such as Krytac, Lonex, G&G Green can be great for your gun, especially if it is an M4. But we can wholeheartedly endorse the Prowin series hop-up. The Prowin hop-up unit provides high, but not laser-like, accuracy, and excellent consistency. More at T.A.S Blog.

Be Aware of Your Laws and Regulations

You must be aware of your federal and local rules governing the purchasing, carrying as well as the use of airsoft guns. Don’t put yourself at risk with the law. Call your local police department to learn more

Public Carry

Not everyone will know that your airsoft gun is a replica. Do not showcase your airsoft gun anywhere in public where people may mistake for a real firearm

Even with an orange tip or bright color airsoft gun, a law enforcement officer is not going to take any chances after seeing you carrying what they believe could be a dangerous firearm

For your sake, carry your gun inside a bag and away from sight.

The Exception to Airsoft Laws and Regulation in California

The airsoft laws dont apply for airsoft guns in a bright color such as bright red, white, pink, blue, purple, or orange

To prevent troubles with the law, this is perhaps the most recommended that you buy airsoft gun with the colors mentioned above. Knowing the law and regulation will save you in the future.

The “I Got You First” Guy

You’re breaching a room, and as you pie the corner with your gun you caught someone and you two ended up “bang bang” each other at the same time.

But for some reason, the other guy said “Nah, I got you first” and proceed on playing.

A common reason for the barrel to barrel rule is that in real life, both of you would die. But people forgot that the first person who pulled the trigger doesn’t lead to the other person dropping dead instantly.

When someone gets shot, they can still muster the strength to shoot back. Whatever the case may be, it’s annoying to run up against these guys. Don’t argue with them, but do report them to the referee Extra details on https://www.theairsoftsport.com/.
