Airsoft is a 1:1 scaled replica firearm made of either
metal or plastic. It usually fires 6mm pellets weighing
110-600 milligrams. They are known as bbs, short for ball
bearing or big ball. The sport of airsoft began in Japan
during mid 1970s when real guns were prohibited by
Japanese law. It then spread to China, Philippines, South
Korea and later the United States of America. Today it
has become a thriving hobby and the enthusiasts can check
