Toronto Airsoft Groups In The City

By Marcia Marks


Airsoft is very popular sport that is very similar to paintball except the guns fire plastic pellets from a specially designed gun. The sport is played in numerous ways, such as military simulations, skirmishes, sniper games and many others. There are many Airsoft groups and with a little creativity new games can be invented. There are Toronto Airsoft groups offering competitions and games that residents can join.

Many Airsoft games use the tactics that are commonly used in the military and there is usually a specific object for a team or individual to reach. Also, players typically use emulations of tactical equipment in order to achieve their objective. There is also a required level of safety in competitions and games and safety equipment is necessary. These include special safety goggles and a face mask to provide protection to the face. It is also important that player stick to a minimum firing distance so that the pellet does not cause their opponent any pain.

Ownership of Airsoft guns is legal in most countries, however some countries require that the guns are clearly marked so they are distinguishable from real firearms. Groups will usually set their own rules too, such as having a maximum velocity and shooting distance, usually safety equipment is provided and groups are extremely aware of player safety.

The guns used in the sport include, electric powered guns, spring powered guns and green gas guns. The best gun is powered by green gas as it gives the player the ability to fire continuously without needing to cock the gun. They also have a more realistic kick just like a real gun, making them more fun to use. They are also more accurate and give the player a significant advantage in the field.

Replica guns tend to be the most popular with fans of the sport. These guns are virtually the same as their real counterparts and include, World War 2 classic firearms, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, Al Capone style machine guns, police firearms and many others. These guns add a new level to the sport as fans can invent fun and exciting scenarios and highly accurate military simulations.

The majority of guns fire white plastic pellets that usually weigh between 0.20 grams to 0.25 grams depending on the gun. Sniper rifles will use heavier pellets for greater accuracy as they are not so affected by the wind. Pellets are usually supplied in bottles containing 2000 or 5000 pellets. Grenade launchers use balls made from foam to emulate real grenades.

The Hopup system is often employed on pistols and occasionally on rifles. The Hopup system puts backspin onto the pellets that increases range, this is because they rise upwards after the shot is fires. The level of backspin can be adjusted by more advanced players but the normal settings are usually sufficient.

Airsoft is an incredibly fun and exciting sport that is increasing in popularity across the world. Those who live in Toronto will be able to find a group offering competitions and games in the city by searching for Toronto Airsoft on the internet. These groups can offer beginner level games, as well as intermediate and advanced levels.
