It's just like paintball. But, instead of shooting paint at one another, the players use biodegradeable plastic bbs (washes away with the rain - not metal). The price is half the cost and less messy than paintball. And, instead of playing on little fields for paintball because paint can only travel so far, we play on huge fields that are 10-15 acres wide and the plastic bbs travel alot further.
The airsoft guns have the weight and feel of real guns. Airsoft guns are usually run by battery, air tanks, co2 or green gas. Airsoft guns are also made to replicate real guns such as sniper guns, M4 guns, pistols & shotguns. And, its neat because in paintball, you have to be quick because the fields are so little. Airsoft allows you to hide at much farther distances with your long range sniper airsoft gun or you can choose to run up closer to the opponent with your pistol, M4 & shield or melee plastic weapon of choice such as: plastic sword, plastic hatchet, plastic patty wacker or plastic meat hook.
It's an interesting sport because you will see outfits that range from jean & t-shirt, military clothing, all black to a bunny outfit and huge pickle costume while shooting each other on the fields. It really is a lot of fun!
This sport is amazing for the whole family because you don't have to be athletic to dominate at Raptor Airsoft Field & Shop. You just need to : pay attention to the rules, the new objective of each game, eventually learn to strategize & communicate with your team, shoot straight & hide well enough to not b
e hit by a biodegradable plastic bb!
All ages (7-90), mom, dad, brother & little sister can dominate on our fields! You just have to figure which type of player style best suits your strengths! If you are quick with your feet and love the risk of getting hit sooner than later, a pistol & M4 shorter distance airsoft gun may suite you. If you love to lay low in the brush & keep your steps few, the sniper gun is perfect for longer distance shooting that works great with our huge fields!
