Q: OK so what is airsoft?
A: Airsoft as defined by Wikipedia - "Airsoft is a sport or recreational pastime in which players participate in the simulation of military combat also called MilSim or law enforcement-style combat using smoothbore airsoft guns (or "twist" barrels) designed as replicas of real firearms."
Now that the technical definition is taken care of, here it is in easy to understand format. We run around and shoot each other with guns that fire small (6mm) plastic bbs. That is simplifying the definition down to it's essance.
The next question out of people's mouths, usually, is why do we do it? That is a tough answer. Every one has different reasons, but it all boils down to one word, FUN. For some it is the primal thrill of stalking your prey and getting the kill, for others it is the oppertunity to just run around out doors and get together with people who share a common interrest.
