Why do I play airsoft? Because it simulates real combat strategy without real guns. Airsoft is the only sport I play (other than dodgeball). People say it is not a sport. Well, people also think that chess is a sport, so people have no knowledge of anything. Airsoft is a game of skill, tactics, team coordination, and luck. The rush of spotting the enemy and unloading your ammo into them is so much fun. What is not fun is running out of ammo and having to run as fast as you can away from the enemy.
For those of you who do not know, airsoft gun fire small, plastic spheres called BB's The inward mechanics of the gun either use spring, battery or CO2 powered gearbox to fire the BB at anywhere from 200-410 feet per second. Thus, when a BB is put in contact with a human being, great pain occurs. Airsoft is a lot cheaper than paintball. Also, there is more diversity. Pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, assault rifles, grenades, mortars, claymores, rocket and grenade launchers, and even RC cars with turrets are all of the many weapons of airsoft.
In a world filled with high powered sniper and fully automatic assault rifles, I still love to use my shotgun. Pump action, three round burst with loadable shells that holds ten shots each. But why do i love my shotgun? "Well, shotguns go back to the day and age where combatants respected one another, where shooting someone up close said 'All men are created equal, except I am slightly more equal because you are dead (not literary dead, its just airsoft) and I am still alive'. Plus, when you are that close you have a chance to say some nifty one-liners, like "Doctor Abbott suggest taking two shells of buckshot and call me when you are dead. Ring, ring. Hello? Yep, your dead' (Paraphrased from Sarge of Red Vs Blue)."
Well that is all, but before I leave, I need to make an advertisement. Every Sunday from one to three, my friends and I play airsoft at Luke Zockoll's house. He has a large woods and a perfect airsoft field set up. We are in need of more people so anybody that could come would be awesome. If you do not have a gun, you could rent a gun from Matthew Medley for around two dollars. Well thank you for your time. Goodbye everybody.

I admire you for valuing the true essence of Airsoft. Others who play for the first time will think of it as a simple and fun activity; but as you enjoy the game, you'll learn that there is something more to experience than just having fun. The sport teaches you to be in control and responsible. It also teach you to be dedicated because you'll do your best to fight and survive to win.

Using guns, regardless the purpose is for leisure or for the call of profession, demands discipline. Aside from learning how to handle replica guns, one is also expected to learn how to strategize, for survival. Anyway, having your own airsoft gun or gear is more convenient than constantly renting; that is if you're planning to play this sport for good.
