About Bay Area Airsoft

Airsoft is a game, based around combat, which has similarities with paintball. In most scenarios, participants aim to eliminate opponents by hitting them with 6mm (or occasionally 8mm) plastic BBs launched from airsoft guns. Airsoft guns are most commonly powered by one of three sources: Gas (CO2, Green Gas, Red Gas, 134A, Propane, or some other type of gas), spring-loaded (air is forced through a nozzle via a manually cocked spring piston, normally called "spring guns" or "springers"), or gearboxes (mechanical boxes that use motors to pull back and release a spring piston named AEGs or Automatic Electric Guns). Participants typically use varying types of weapons designed as replicas of real firearms, tactical gear, and accessories used by military and police organizations. Airsoft has been popular in Asia for a long time and there is now a growing interest in airsoft weapons and events in North America and Europe. Some of the notable manufacturers of airsoft guns include Tokyo Marui, Classic Army, ICS, G&G, G&P, VFC, STAR, Systema, JG, KWA, CYMA, A&K and Echo 1.
