1. It's fun!
It's obvious, right? Where else can you put on around 10 kg of equipment, get a realistic metal Airsoft gun with various accessories and go into battle with the same adrenaline-hungry comrades. MILSIM (Military Simulation) can be very unifying, moreover, it is the only opportunity to feel the full heat of battle so closely without the risk of dying. Plus, this sport strengthens friendships and unites the team.
Airsoft can create unforgettable emotions in the player. Imagine the rush of adrenaline when you are about to attack the enemy from the hide, or the emotions that fill you in the last seconds before the start of the building capture. Imagine the feeling when a round of balls fly over your head, so close that you can hear them.
The emotions you will feel are like nothing else and if you like them, you will want more and more.
2. It's great exercise
No one can argue with that, especially when playing in the great outdoors. While completing tasks in the forest, you may encounter unexpected difficulties such as a swamp, and the only way to complete the task is to go through the swamp.
Usually, when playing indoors, sweat will be the only extra weight you will gain. But after 35 meters through the swamp, an additional 5 kg of mud and water on your equipment will be commonplace. Yes, and don't forget about the terrain! Moving through the hilly area will make you sweat a lot.
All that weight will start to drag you to the ground after intense climbing, crawling and running. Muscles you didn't even know existed will start to hurt. Who needs fitness when you can play Airsoft?
3. Improving skills
Studies have shown that playing video games can improve reaction time and intuition, as well as increase your ability to grasp graphic information by 20%. Airsoft has a lot in common with video games, so it's no secret that many Airsoft players come from the ranks of gamers. It's only natural for gamers to test their abilities in real life.
Airsoft not only improves reaction time, perception and reasoning, but also improves team work, helps solve problems, improves orientation skills, develops memory and improves both physical and mental condition. Airsoft can also be seen as a game of chess. Those who can outplay their opponent tactically will also win.
4. It's the next best thing…
Airsoft is the next best thing to military service, as the game scenario can be as close as possible to real combat operations. Many military and police units around the world use Airsoft as an alternative training method.
Now you have a great opportunity to experience a small part, but certainly the most interesting part, of army life.
5. It's cheap!
Airsoft is a relatively cheap sport in its category (Simunition, MILES and paintball). The most expensive part of the equipment is the Arsoft weapon itself, the price of which is between
€
90 and
€
140. A beginner's paintball gun costs about the same, but the ammo is much more expensive. 2000 paintball balls cost about
€
45, while 4000 0.20 gram Airsoft balls cost
€
7. The rest of the equipment (army camouflage pants and jacket, gloves, glasses or a mask) can be purchased for € 40.
Airsoft guns run on electric batteries that can be charged from any suitable power source. There is no need to carry extra gas cylinders like in paintball. A fully charged battery is enough for 4 hours of gameplay.
In the end, I want to say that Airsoft is one of the most practical, safe and emotional entertainments that you can devote your free time to.
