An airsoft gun is a replica firearm designed for recreational use in airsoft sports. These guns shoot small plastic pellets, typically 6mm in diameter, and are powered by compressed gas, electric batteries, or springs. Airsoft guns are often used in team-based games that simulate military or law enforcement scenarios. Unlike real firearms, airsoft guns are not lethal and are intended for safe play. Players wear protective gear, such as goggles, to prevent injury. The sport promotes teamwork, strategy, and physical activity, making it popular among enthusiasts of all ages.
