5-airsoft-guns-25 I was searching around a few message boards the other day, as I do every morning before a nice long day of work, and I came across a thread on AirsoftForum.com. I found some really good, helpful and well said information pertaining to all aspects of Airsoft Safety. This information could be very helpful to those of you just getting started or those who just aren't familiar with many of the safety aspects of this potentially dangerous activity.

Airsoft Replicas are NOT toys! They are NOT intended or designed for children. There is a real potential for danger with these products because they are so realistic, effective and inexpensive not to mention the fact that they are in deed a real pellet gun.

Even though they aren't real firearms, they look very much like a real gun. Any "look a like" or toy/BB gun used in a crime carries the same full circumstances as that of a real weapon. These products should be considered as dangerous as real loaded firearms.

For anyone purchasing an AirSoft BB gun, take note that most State Laws require that you must be over 18 years of age to make a purchase. If not over 18, the seller MUST have the written consent of an adult BEFORE they can ship the product and an adult over the age of 18 MUST be available to sign for the product when it arrives at your location.

For your safety, ALWAYS wear eye protection and all Airosft Safety Equipment when operating an AirSoft Pellet / BB gun and allways treat them with the same respect as with a real firearm. They are to be purchased and used by adults 18 years of age or older. Minors MUST have parental supervision when operating these BB guns.

NEVER transport your AirSoft Replica in open view, keep in its protective case. The neighbor lady doesn't know you have a pellet gun that looks a lot like your dad's AK47 and she might call law inforcement out to check on you. Therefore, NEVER brandish or use the AirSoft guns in public areas.

Which brings me to another important point: If you are EVER approached by law enforcement officers, DO EXACTLY what they say and PAY ATTENTION, your life might be on the line! NEVER point or shoot at other people or animals. Check with your local ordinance on ownership and usage before making a purchase. It is the user and/or buyer's responsibility to use common sense and safe Airsoft handeling practices.
