Airsoft is a very intense sport, it can be played one-on-one or as a team sport. When you have an opportunity to watch an Airsoft competition when its team against team, you would swear that it is a SWAT tactical team that you are watching and not a bunch of guys and gals having fun.
The weapons they carry are ringers for the real thing, whether the gun is a handgun or a long gun, they are full scale replicas of well known combat weapons. When these aficionados go at it, they are fully kitted out with all the tactical gear that you would expect to see in the modern military and elite police units.
Although Airsoft is a fun game, it must be remembered that people are shooting at one another. Although the “ammo” is nothing more than small plastic pellets, they do leave the muzzle of the gun at a high velocity. At normal combat range, the pellets will not do any real harm. But like everything else, accidents can happen.
The tactical gear that is available for Airsoft participants is as varied as complete as the real soldier. Although the gear that the soldier or SWAT team member wears is the real thing and it’s worn for all the right reasons, this is not the case with competitors in Airsoft. The game itself is a game of reality, the guns look real; the competitions take place on Airsoft parks that provide realist situations. As this is the case, the combatants also want to look and feel like the real soldiers they are emulating. As a result, everything is available, head to toe.
Although there is a fantastic array of tactical gear available for the ardent competitor, there is some that is more important than others. A face mask is mandatory, elbow, knee pads and chest protectors are normally part of the gear as is a set of camouflage clothing and various pouches for carrying spare clips of ammo.
