'Airsoft' is a modern combat sport or recreational hobby in which participants
eliminate opponents by hitting each other with spherical non-metallic pellets
launched from a compressed-air gun (or Soft Air gun) powered by gas, manual spring-
load, or an electrically powered gearbox. Airsoft participants organize meetings, either indoors or outdoors, at a
dedicated airsoft battlefields to play a variety of games ranging from short-
term skirmishes, organized scenarios, military simulations, or historical
reenactments. Combat situations on the battlefield often involve the use of common military
tactics to achieve the objectives set in each game. Participants typically
employ the use of varying types of weaponry designed as replicas of real
firearms, tactical gear, and accessories used by modern military and police
organizations.
