An airsoft gun is a replica firearm used in airsoft, a team-based shooting sport. These guns are low-power smoothbore air guns designed to shoot non-metallic spherical projectiles, typically made of plastic or biodegradable material. Airsoft guns closely resemble real firearms but shoot at lower velocities, making them safe for recreational gameplay. Players use airsoft guns to engage in simulated combat scenarios, honing tactical skills and teamwork.
