About Airsoft

Giant Party Sports Airsoft is a recreational activity in which participants eliminate opponents by hitting each other with spherical non-metallic pellets launched via replica firearms. Airsoft pellets are spherical projectiles used in Airsoft gun models. Typically made of plastic, they weigh between 0.12 and 0.48 g, with the most popular weights being 0.12g and 0.20g. Although sometimes called BBs, they are not the same as the 4.5 mm projectiles fired by BB guns.

Does Getting Shot with an Airsoft Pellet Hurt?

Airsoft pellets typically leave small lesions (welts) on exposed skin. While mildly painful, pellets are not typically damaging to the skin. Eye protection is universally mandatory to prevent damage to eyes. It is also required that full face masks and body protection be used during airsoft matches to protect the players’ teeth and ears. This means hard all-covering ear protection and solid, non-mesh eye protection. (Sunglasses/mesh lenses are prohibited.)

We suggest you wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing that cover as much exposed skin as possible. Hooded sweatshirts, sweat pants, and good running shoes with ankle support are suggested in cooler weather.
