Airsoft Safety - The most important part of the sport
75
Is Airsoft Safe, Yes or No?
Airsoft has enjoyed a huge increase in popularity recently. Along with the rise, Airsoft has also gotten a lot of press as to whether the guns are safe or not. So are they? The answer is Yes and No; here's why.
Before we go any further it is important to understand that Airsoft guns are not toys. They are highly detailed firearm simulations that fire plastic 6mm BBs at muzzle velocities of 100-400FPS. Like paintball guns, they are designed for use under controlled, private environments, and should be treated like a real fiream. Used correctly, airsoft is a fun way participate in paintball-like competitions and/or to enhance military simulations/training. Use of airsoft guns also develops the proper handling and respect for firearms. Parents should ensure that children under 18 should be supervised by an adult when using airsoft guns.
From a lethal stand-point Airsoft Gnus are safe. The plastic Airsoft Ammo that it shoots is too slow and light to penetrate the skin, and cause damage to internal organs. So, your not going to kill anyone using an airsoft gun.That said, don't get to relaxed around airsoft guns because that what cannot kill you can still injure you.
A flying plastic 6mm BB, moving at airsoft velocities can break bare skin and worse damage the eyes and/or cause blindness. That is the number one danger from airsoft guns. Because of this it is important that everyone uses eye protection when shooting airsoft guns. Even when shooting at targets, a chance ricochet can cause eye injury. Read this letter from a local Atlanta Doctor to get the idea into your head.
Eye and face protection ranges from ballistic rated safety goggles to full face masks. Whatever your choice, the eye protection used should wrap around the side of the eyes to protect from side-shots. Loose or baggy clothing that covers all exposed skin should be worn, to protect from the BBs impact. Bare skin or tight clothing can result in welts or broken skin when struck by an airsoft BB. Keep in mind that based on overall Emergency Room Visits there are more dangerous outdoor sports.
Another Airsoft safety concern for airsoft is preception of the gun as real firearms. If brandished in public places it may be mistaken by citizens or law enforcement as the real thing. In an age of mall and school shootings every perceived threat is taken seriously. Public use of Airsoft guns could result in your arrest or worse deadly force used against you. Use the same common sense you would use with a real firearm or you'll find out the hard way how serious the repercussions can be (Airsoft gun news). Restrict your use to your private property or clubs designated for Airsoft or paintball use.
A few other smart tips and guidelines for safe airsoft play....
Never remove or paint over the orange tip on your airsoft gun. Not only is it a federal offense to do so, it shows others that the gun is not real. It's there for your safety and the safety of others. Also, never shoot anyone without their permission. You could wind up in jail for assault. Finally, never shoot pets or animals. They didn't do anything to you so why harm them with an airsoft shot.
We suggest you read more on Firearm safety before picking up an airsoft gun. you can find additional literature here (NRA). These are the basic rules to follow for safe Airsoft/firearm use:
BASIC FIREARM HANDLING RULES
- Treat Every Gun as if it is loaded
- Always point guns in a safe direction
- Know your Target and Beyond
- Do not shoot at anything you do not intend to kill or destroy
- Never use a firearm if you have been drinking or using drugs.
With responsible handling, safety equipment and use location airsoft can be a very safe and fun sport!

900FPS! That doesn't sound like an airsoft gun...more like a pellet gun or getting close to a .22 cal muzzle speeds. I'd be careful shooting anyone or thing with those muzzle velocities. I'd spring for some high-end ballistic goggles like the Wiley-X brands.
SEE! I told you AIRHARD would catch on.
does anyone know where I can get an ak for under 50 dollars
I too play airsoft and made a horrible mistake, a BB bounced into my eye and i turned around and shot 2 welts on his leg. This was not the real mistake it was none of us 3 guys were wearing eye protection
Me and my friend airsoft alot and i always wear a paintball mask. Some of the masks made for airsofting arent relieable because the wire mesh and plastic can break. If a paintball wont break it, air airsoft bb wont.
MY FRIEND SHOT ME WITH A AIRSOFT GUN FROM 5 FEET AWAY. AIRSOFTS CAN'T BREAK SKIN RIGHT?
Yes they can. It depends on: Muzzle velocity, how close to the target, and protective gear. Bare skin from 5 feet with a 350FPS gun may result in some blood. You should always wear the proper protective geer and eye protection with conducting airsoft skrimishes. Be sure to wear long sleeved garments and vests when possible.
i have been shot from two feet with my 300 fps airsoft by my dad because he didnt know what it was and it left a small mark but that was it
My son was accidentally shot in the eye with an airsoft rifle (350 fps). He now has 2 permanent tears to his iris, glaucoma, cataract and an epiretinal membrane.
Thanks for posting, sorry aobut your sons injury. This reinforces the importance of eye protection!!!
All of the neighbor boys on the block have Airsoft weapons and play war. 50% of the boys don't wear eye protection. I'm affraid for my boys safety because they can't go out in there own yard play because these boys are firing every where. Why do I have to put safety glasses on my boys just so they can go outside. I see the way these boys treat these guns like toys not like a weapon. They repeatly fire at each other in close ranch when they think the weapon is empty. The parents are nowhere to be found. This is dangerous!
"Backyard" Airsoft gives the sport a bad rap. I totally agree with your concern. Airsoft is really made for use on sanctioned playfeilds or large/secluded areas of private land (like a farm, or woods). They should never be used in a high-density neighboorhood area. Firearms rules for your city or county apply to airsoft guns too (i.e. rules for discharging a firearm). I recommend finding the parents and talking to them or inviting to the police out to talk with them.
How can i get my parants to allow me to play they dont like the idea of shooting bbs at each othe since my dadis such an old timer saying "Why would you want to shoot each other, and saying arent BBS dangerous" my freinds have a place to play and i dont want to be left behind saying i dont have a gun so hoe can i convince them.
Before I recommend anything just remember that your parents have the final say in decisions concerning what you can and cannot participate in, until you hit the ripe old age of 18. Respect their decision no matter how much it may suck....life is going to be full of great and bad decisions, get used to it now. Suck it up and go on living. That said, to have any chance of success....
Let your parents know you are serious about wanting to play airsoft, and you're serious about safety. First, ask your dad (or mom) to take a local hunters/Firearms safety course with you. This will reinforce your commitment to safety and you'll learn a lot about safe firearm handling. you can find local classes at www.NRA.org
Next, ask your dad/mom to take you to a sanctioned airsoft feild or arena and play. They'll see how safe it is when the proper safety equipment is used. your parents can also talk to the managment about airsoft gun selection and consideration. Finally, discuss the areas you and your friends are going play airsoft. Make sure you emphasize all the safety procedures your going to put into play (face/eye protection, no close shots, no head shots, gun safety procedures). Then ask your parents to consider your request. Remember, to respect their decision, it is final. If they say no, take it like a man. No whining, arguing, or crying. A calm, professional reaction may cause them to change their minds down the road. fighting their decision will only make things worse.
also, it wouldn't hurt to have all your teammates take the gun safety course too. Sometimes it's the other guy you have to worry about.
Good Luck!
Both Classic Army and Jing Gong are great guns. If your mainly playing CQB/Indoors I would go with the lower FPS Classic Army. Glad to hear you are making Eye protection a priority. All Airsoft Guns, regardless of FPS can damage the eyes....even on a ricochet.
wearing T-shirts does come with the hazard of broken skin and nasty welts (300 or 350 FPS)...but it won't kill you. Overheating and dehydration are worse. Although, some of the camo clothing out today is very comfortable, when used with moisture wick undergarments (like underarmor) they make operations in hot weather easier (JUST STAY HYDRATED!)
I have glasses, does this mean I cant play airsoft?
John, Of course you can play. You'll just have to find a mask that fits over your glasses. I wear glasses and do not have any problems. I like the metal mesh masks as they don't fog up.
i really want to play airsoft and Im very serious about playing and safety. however my mom is somewhat a little over protective. I try to explain to her that its safe and she says "ill thing abou it" or "we'll see" and the closest iv gotten to a straight answer is "until i hear your argument its a no" i think it would be really fun and if she says yes im not sure where i could play due to the fact i live in a small town and in the subarbs so that = no backyard airsoft, no closed of arena or area. however there is a paintball place around im not sure if they would let me get a group of friends ogether and play airsoft. i suspect no due to the fact its a paintball place. but i still REALLY want to play. and also if you could suggest a good airsoft gun to me from either wal mart k mart target or just a decent gun in general where as theres a flea market that would be great. I really appreciate it sincerely,
WishIcouldPlay
im try im to convince my parent s to let me get an air soft gun but my dad is ok but my mom thats another story what are some things i could do to take her to the dark side ?
thx :)

i am serious about playin airsoft too but my dad is over protective ??
I think we have beat the parents topic do death. see previous posts, that's all I've got.
My 9 year old just got two chipped teeth from older kids shooting airsoft. They are permanent teeth not baby teeth. He peeked out the window and caught a pellet. This game seems pretty stupid to be doing around people's houses.
Sad Dad,
Totally agree with you. Airsoft is not made for backyard play. likewise, most people don't paintball or shoot real firearms in their backyards. Backyard airsoft is unsafe and it gives the sport a bad rap. Airsoft play should always be limited to sanctioned playfeilds or large tracts of private land. Safety gear should always be used. A mask that covers the mouth and ears is the best bet.
Thank you for your comment!
is an StG44 airsoft gun good
T4ey2,
yes it is a great gun. If you can get one, they are in short supply. We won't have them until October.
My son did shoot someone with his airsoft rifle. He was charged with assault. I am a firemen/paramedic in this same town and the police/legal system did what they could to keep the case in house so to speak. His friends still play backyard airsoft games and he wants to join in. I say no not ever again but he likes the sport. What advice do you have for him? Should he take a couple of gun safety classes or be banned for life for such an egregious mistake? Oh BTW he shot an unarmed girl and boy that were not part of the backyard game in any way. I would like for him to be able to play but I also realize I cannot be with him 24 hours a day to watch everything he does. He has to be able to show some amount of responsibility as well. What advice do you have?
ajr95,
We do not condone or recommend backyard airsoft for the reasons you mention above. Airsoft guns in neighboorhoods always result in a neighbor thinking their is a youth uprising, resulting in police involvement. Find a local airsoft/paintball field or friends with a large tract of private land.
If you treat airsoft guns like real guns and apply a little common sense you can avoid any problems.
how much fps is like just right? for an aeg and a friendly match
is it ok if i get a bag of sand, and shoot at that in my back yard. will i get in trouble??
Wondering,
I would tell all my neighbors that can see your backyard what you plan on doing and what airsoft is. You don't want them to see you out there with a realistic firearm, with no idea that that it's airsoft. They'll think you are forming a militia and call the cops on you.
hi um im wondering if 755 fps is a bit too much but im not playing matches but im shooting targets
I accidentally shot my neighbour with an airsoft like 10 fps (weak) then I'm nervous when she scream, that doesn't even hurt and at a very far range
Do not shoot at people unless they agree to play airsoft with you. Common Sense.
What scope do you think I should get for a UTG MK-96?
My newest goggles are made for fire fighters. The ESS goggle is totally fog and scratch proof and will take a shotgun blast at 35 yards. they are inexpensive. I paid $32.00 at Optics planet. If you wear a helmet they are perfect fit for the MICH and IBH style helmets. They also have velcro on the strap that will attach the strap to the back of your helmet, So they are always in the proper position.
Considering the fact that you must be 18 years old to buy an Aisoft gun legally, leads me to believe that parents are not getting involved with their children's activities. My son is 4 years old I have in fact bought him a JG MP5, but he knows where he can shoot it, he knows never to shoot it with out me being present, he knows not to point at people, and he knows to wear his goggles when shooting. Now he is 4 years old. I have taught him these safety guidelines to the strictest of standards, of course at the age of 3 he was helping me chop onions when I prepared meals. Not to mention his 2 year old sister helped him also. She grabbed it and started capping off bb's full auto and he said no that's mine!!!! And grabbed the muzzle. So now he learned that those bb's hurt, a lot. So parents need to get involved . Every kid under the age of 18 had or has a parent with a credit card that ordered the gun for them. Airsoft is fun and can be played safely. It is not a game for improperly trained or reckless people. I can tell you right now my guns shoot at least 430 FPS, but I won't take a shot within 4 meters. That is why I carry a pistol for close shots. Parents ultimately need to take issue with what they are buying their kids. To play devils advocate there is no such thing as a friendly game. If you play Airsoft you will get shot, multiple times. so always wear your safety gear. Even when target shooting you must have some type of eye protection. Never shoot at hard surfaces. Use some tripled heavy card board to use as targets. Always make sure nothing is behind your target like a house, people, animals, anything that you would not to shoot. Rule number 2 for gun safety. Think before you act.
I'm buying a airsoft gun [300 fps] will this break skin and is this recommended for small wooded areas?
to OIRVETERAN
thanks to your help about parents and telling me how serious airsoft is in dangers, i was able to persuade my dad to get me a Tokyo Marui M92f Military Model.
THANK YOU!
JustinTHEMAN
Will, not unless you are dead bang. Although another factor is the hop up setting which puts back spin on the bb. It will sting and hurt. Depending on the back spin and where you are hit and how close you are. It could, But most likely not. I would say you would have welting in the area hit by the bb.
guys i want to make it so most of the bbs wont hurt, anywhere on my bodie what can i were so the bbs will only sting a little and not break skin?
what is the odds of getting shot in the eye?
Is a 350 fps airsoft gun good for shooting targets and use in airsoft wars?
what do you recommend for a 14 year old boy shooting targets and not playing the game? how much safty equipment should he have?
My mom and dad both hate guns and I keep telling them I know the safety and I can ware eye protection but they won't let me get an airsoft gun I've also gotten shot b 4 and know how it feels but that still won't let me get 1
my parents wont let me geu an airsoft gun but i always tell them i know how to use and take care of one and i know the safety and all that but they wont let me got one they HATE guns how do i get them to let me get an airsoft gun
me ether and the same exact situation as u dan the man
Is it legal to just shoot at a target in my backyard?
what age can you play airsoft wars?
i am 12 do you think i should be able to play
What fps do u recamend for playing In the woods, it's about 3 arces big and it will be with about 5 or 6 guys
to (ajr95) well i think that you should still let your kid play, but not until he learns some responsibility, and make sure he knows that you shouldn't shoot people that don't give you permission... hope it helps
I'm 14 and I have 5 airsoft gun's 1 electric and the rest spring all where under 50euro except one which was 200, I am going to play my first airsoft skirmish very soon and have played in my backyard, which is fairly big, and I think that the question is airsoft safe isn't right I think it should be is the player safe, you wear protection there is no way you could get hurt.I think from 12+ you should be allowed play in official games and at the youngest 6 to start shooting targets and practicing, and for all parents that don't like the idea for your kid having a gun as long s/he is responsible go ahead and just supervise them and it should be fine but if you don't think they are responsible and might intimidate other children with it then you definitely shouldn't until they get older and more mature.
ok my dad is dead and im trying to get an airsoft pistol called colt 1911 it's only 210 fps and for some reason she wont let me play any more but im 14 so i dont get why i cant play with all my other friends.
any recomendations would be nice thank you for your time
im buying an airsoft gun called DPMS panther arms on duty kit is this a good gun because im thinking about joining an air soft club or somthing that your in
So yeah, I've know about airsoft for a while got a pretty sweet first gun (crosman pulse r76) and It is a beast and i think the game is totally safe unless you're not wearing eye protection (like today). Just today I got shot in the eye sort of, it was the eyelid and it hurt for a second it watered up while other eye was dry but it also went red and it stopped. But now it's a little blurry and my dad says my eye is just basically stunned kinda. Do you think I'll be fine, it didn't make direct contact with my eye and it doesnt really hurt. So any opinions? ps the gun was 325 fps from about 50-60 feet away, so will I be alright?
I live in south eastern PA. Is there any feilds to play on in the chester county area?
i have airsoft guns and i really want to play with the nieghborhood boys but i dont have a face mask and im worried if they have really powerful guns or if i might get hurt. where can i get a facemask that will keep me safe?how much do they cost? where's the cheapest place to get them?
i also want to know if a huge field with ditches, rocks, hills, poles and really tall grass is safe.because i was playing airsoft with my dad yesterday an in was shooting at him then he found me and started chasing me. so i started to run away(i was in a ditch)and i cept tripping on the grass.(luckily he didnt shoot me)i finally got him(because i swithed to automatic on my d-94 which by the way rocks!)But it was close.an answer would be awesome!thnx.(by the way i won 3 out of 3 games;)
I need a bit of help, my friend knows a place thats near his house thats an abandoned train line thats been shut off, he lives in a private neighbourhood and is hosting an airsoft game involving 11 people plus myself and we are all taking the proper safety precautions, but my mom isn't convinced that it's safe enough. I need help convincing her via this forum. She Still wasn't really convinced from the info on the forum already and I was hoping you could help me out? Thanks
my father is a police man and he has had cases where children were shot because they had airsoft guns. i keep persisting to get one, considering the fact that i am very responsible and have a 5.0 gpa my mom isnt thrilled either but i till really want one helpeth meh
no offence to anyone but most of the comments have a lot of mispelled words in them and I know someone who got shot in the face, and busted two teeth out and left only a sliver of another.
All my freinds play air soft, but my dad dosent think its safe. I just keep telling him that all I need is proper eye protection, plus layers ov cloths to be safe. but every time i tell him that, all he says is accidents can happen.
To lol. You are a genius! A 5.0 gpa!? that's like, all a's on every piece of work in school! Is that even possible?
well igot a shotgun airsoft gun and im only nine my dad is nice
how can i convince my mom to let me get an airsoft gun.... my dad is forgetful and says no... but my mom says maybe... so what do i say
I want an airsoft gun but my parents hate guns 4 of my friend have one and my parents won't let me get one I no the safety and I can wear eye protection and my parents still think it's dangerous how do I convince them that it's no dangerous and I should be able to get one also I'm 12 and a half
i know i had to go through that stage to i'm new here and i have had to beg my parents for a whole year and i finally got two for my b day then the day after that they got grounded for a little while since your 12 you should ask your parents to take the gun safety course maybe that will help after you have done that show them what you have learned
me and my friend learned the hard way with wearing safety glasses....one day we were having a war and i shot at him form like 20 feet away and it hit him right next to his eye and left a welt and his eye was a little red but wenow always wear glasses and my friend is now buying a full face mask
hi im a designated airsoft sniper i have a completly upgraded jg bar 10 thats shoot at around 480 -490 fps. my gun has a tbb and a tm hop unit so with .28 its incredably accurate from 200 feet . even so i dont hit anyone under 50ft and even if their wearing a mask i dont aim for their face or lower regions . any respectible airsoft player aims for the chest and sniper esspecially get sidearm for close range . for info on my sniper ,tips for beginers and your rifle send me a msg on facebook (erik stamm)
It does sting a bit to be shot- but typically you are not shot so close to have welts. I wear a full mask designed by Save Phace (Fat Series) which ads some camo and protection.
my parents wont let me get airsoft guns! i have begged them for years and i am almost 12. why dont they think im responsible enough! i know all the safety protocal and my mom is thinking about it but my dad is still bent on not letting me get a airsoft gun. please tell me how and what i can do to twist my dads mind the other way!
I am almost twelve and i own an airsoft blackviper m92. please dont get too upset because your parents wont allow you, they say that because they love you. any of your friends that have airsoft pistols have parents that arent as loving as yours. Believe me, airsoft guns are no toy. I once had a friend, and we were doing target practice in an open field. he had a bullet ricochet into his eye and that was the end of it. He went blind in 1 eye and he had permanent nerve damage. I implore you, listen to your parents. Things do happen. and the will, so until you are the right age for an airsoft, i reccomend you dont get one. I know i am only twelve, but i havbe gone on gun saftey courses involving real guns. So i know my way around things. Oh, and if you own an airsoft, i STRONGLY reccomend high quality safety goggles.
Uh I shot my friend with a cheap bb gun or air soft don't know the difference plastic bbs that are 100 fpps can he press charges
im 13 i wanna do airsoft wars am i old enough also imana get 2 magnum 8 inch's and a super magnum sniper bolt action 570 psi my friend says that they wont let it in over 500psi is that true?

what is the first airsoft assault rifle i should get
?
i got a shotgun for like 40 or so dollars from dicks. i was wondering about how much fps that thing has in it. i lost the box and cant find it on the dicks website
hey, airsoft is a great sport to play and have fun with friends but there are some rules that need to be followed.
-were eye protection
-were ear protection
-don't continue to shoot someone when they are hit
-have fun
I have played for about 1 year. i started when i was 12 and would totaly recomend it to anyone.
That person,
you should get a spring pistol or a spring shotgun, i recomond the Crossman Stinger p9 ($20-$30) or the Crossman Remmington Tac1 ($40-$50). but if you want to just get into the sport and want a sniper, get a Tsd SD700 ($70-$80) and for and extra ammount some website offer asserories such as a scope and bipod. i own all of these guns and would highly reccomend them.
good luck
I shoot targets in my backyard, Is it safe.
im trying to convince my mom to let me get an airsoftgun for christmas but she's worried about the overall eye safety. what do i do?
i am back now so you can send in questions
Does a Ski goggles work as a good protection? Also I dont have anything to protect my neck or teeth do you have any recommendations?
Almost all my friends have least than one airsoft gun but i doesn't have any guns because my dad doesn't like weapons. When I ask my dad to buy me an airsoft gun he just start telling me accidents of shooting and then says "no". Does anyone know what I need to say for my dad?
i really want to get an airsoft gun
my dad was almost gonna get me one because my bro said that it would be fine. But then he decided no
my mom doesn't want me to get one but she says that if my dad says so then whatever
Safety is what makes the sport enjoyable, and prevents you from getting injured!
I really want an airsoftgun but my mom keeps saying that she will think about it and puts it off how can i sway her decision
How old should a lid be tp play this unsupervised with others? I have a mature 9 yr old and I am wondering about the fogging and safety of the sport.
Everyone stresses eye protection but remember other body parts are vulnreble too.The throat hurts like hell but nothing too bad can happen unless ur dealin with extreme velocities. One thing that i feel that isnt stressed enough is oral protection. I know that i probably sound like a middle aged woman but im actualy 14. WHen i was little (around 10), me and my friend were airsofting. Neither of us had eye protection (thank god we didnt shoot each other's eyes. anyway, we were up close and he shot me in the tooth. Slide your tounge against the top of two front teeth. HE knowcked half of the left one clean off. Now i need to get a crown and stuff and its all pretty expensive.
I wear glasses and I am wondering what is a good full face mask that is not mesh, will allow me to use my iron sight, and will not be uncomfortable and squish my glasses frames.
I need help my parents hate guns and i have talked to them about airsoft safety but they still wont let me. I am 12 years old and just want to shoot targets in my backyard
I want to do airsoft as a hobby but i am not allowed
What should I wear with People shooting 430fps? a hoodie and sweats?
I need to settle a dispute...3 years ago a boy shot another boy in the shin with an airsoft gun at 3 ft away. There was a small wound & bleeding. Three years later, he got an xray (for another matter) and they found what looks like an airsoft pellet in his shin, almost to the bone. Is it possible this is an airsoft pellet or was it something else? One boy says it was from three years ago, the other says it's impossible...
Hey anonymous, if you want to play airsoft you should probably get simple basic training from a licensed shooter (as with a fact or pal) and talk to them and after that get him/her to show you them and let him/her talk to your parents then. Hope this Los.
I've been shot point blank on bare skin with a 395 FPS AK-74u and a 380 FPS M1A1 Thompson.
im getting one for christmas there safe as anything as long as u were eye protection
I am close on convincing parents that I can play airsoft in my neighborhood. First off, I think the right age should be 14. That is when I got my first airsoft gun. Before you play airsoft, play paintball. It hurts more but toughens you up. If your parents are fine with you playing paintball, then they should be fine to allow you to play airsoft. I have a pernament welt. Yes, it hurt. Airsoft will hurt less.
I want to get an airsoft gas blow back pistol to use without any bb pellets recreationally. But I was woundering if it would be okay for my neighbours if I got it to be painted brightly (so they don't think that I have a real gun)
i think airsoft is a great way to hang out with your friends. if you wear proper stuff, you can be safe and have fun. they cant kill, but can destroy your eyes
me and my friends play (backyard airsoft)we all use goggles and when we see people walking we yell civillians hold your fire. we also make sure the nieghbores know were doing it...and my friends dad is a cop he doesnt care about it at all and we are always safe...can we still get in trouble when we do this?
My son wants to play Air soft and he is 10 years old he want a Tec 9 pump shot gun pistol sniper rifle hand gun w/6mm BB do you thinks that safe? and do you think it would be ok for him? or do you think any other games will be safer?
How many Fps does a 1911 colt airsoft pistol have?
channey i would not use goggles at all i would use a complete head mask here is a link to some because sometimes the bullets can go in your ear too http://www.google.com/search?q=can+a+airsoft+bulle
alex
it is possible because there is a very small chance of hitting a civillian by accident but maybe make a little sign that says airsoft war watch out
:)
