Due to their low power, reliability, easy of use and weight Airsoft Replicas are ideal for teaching children gun awareness. However they should be treated as real-guns, and children should be supervised by an adult while using them and must wear all the correct safety equipment.

No. Our markers are often mistaken for airsoft because of there realism, but our guns shoot standard 68 caliber paintballs.

Many Gun control advocates cite statistics that seem to show an epidemic of children dying due to gun-related violence. On the surface, 4,000 children dying per year is a very disturbing trend. However, one must delve into the statistics to realize that these gun-control advocates are misleading the public. The definition of children used when finding these statistics includes people 20 years old or younger, and some groups actually use the age 23 as a cut-off for a child.

airsoft gun is one that fires a 6mm (or sometimes 8mm) plastic ball-bearing projectile at low velocity, typically less than 1 joule (they won't cause physical harm). Many variants of guns are available from concealed-carry guns such as the Glock 26C to the huge M134a Six-barrel mini-gun capable of firing 6,000 bbs a minute. Generally the airsoft replicas mimic their real-steel counterpart's characteristics e.g.

Airsoft guns are not renowned for their accuracy. The guns fire a lightweight projectile (on average 0.2g) down a smooth barrel at a relatively low velocity (a standard Tokyo Marui AEG will fire at around 285fps). This means that bbs, when fired, can be inherently unstable and can be blown around in flight by air movement. Yet they are far more accurate than paintball guns, and far more consistent in terms of where the rounds go.

Range is everything in airsoft!!! With the HOP-unit correctly set a standard AEG should be able engage with a change of hitting the target at 30-35 metres, while a pistol nearer 20-25 metres. Upgraded Electrics can potentially fire about 10% further, while high-powered sniper rifles out beyond the 50-metre mark!

There are thousands of accessories available for airsoft guns and part of the joy of airsofting is that not only can you skirmish with your airsoft gun; but you can customise it as well. Building a unique airsoft gun that reflects you own style of play is an important aspect of airsofting and there are simply thousands of accessories available.

Even law enforcement officers are often unable to distinguish Airsoft from real steel. Never take an Airsoft gun out in public, doing so WILL endanger your life.

Airsoft gun can operate off one of any three principles. The most common and cost effective are our line of spring guns. Spring guns must be cocked before each shot, usually by racking the slide or cocking handle (rifles). Cocking the gun compresses a spring attached to a piston, when the trigger is pulled, the piston flies forward, compresses the air in the cylinder and fires the BB at an average velocity of 250 FPS. Most people start off with spring guns and often move up to gas blowback guns.

Airsoft guns have a maximum-effective range of about 60-130 yards depending on whether or not the gun has been upgraded. Stock full-size electric rifles can shoot accurately up to 20-60 yards, spring guns 15-20 yards, and electric guns 10-40 yards.

The magazine capacities are never lower than the real gun. Pistols are 10-50 rounds, sub guns 25-600 rounds.

Spring pistols tend to fire 190-350 fps, Spring rifles 220-450 fps, and electric guns and pistols or gas guns fire 175-400 fps.

Most of our tours are ideal for kids, as distances are not huge. On our cycling tours, one option is to use a trailer, or tag-a-long, which attaches to an adult bike. Even if your child is used to riding a bike at home, they may still get tired after several hours' cycling in an unfamiliar environment. The trailer bike provides a good combination of freedom and control ? your child pedals, and then you can tow them when they tire!
