Airsoft is an Up and Coming Sport

If you haven’t caught on to the Airsoft revolution just yet, then you should brace yourself. It is most certainly coming, because people are playing this game at an alarming regularity that we have not seen in quite some time. If you are looking for some sort of revolution to compare it to, then you should consider the paintball explosion for a little while. In the 1990s and into the new century, people played paintball like it was going out of style. The game got so popular that even ESPN put it on their network. This only helped to increase the popularity, as more people wanted a taste of the action.
Action is what this sport is built on. People who love to play with Airsoft guns will all tell you the same thing. They do it because it is a huge rush. They do it because it provides a huge sense of excitement for them. People spend lots of money on awesome Airsoft equipment like the Tokyo Marui guns and they do it for a reason. Ask anyone who own an Echo1 Airsoft gun whether or not Airsoft is a sport and you will most assuredly get a strange look and a distinct answer.

LARPs with physical combat rules use foam weapons, Airsoft guns, laser tag guns and similar, to represent weapons, and are often known as boffer or live combat LARPs.
