FAQ

What is Airsoft?

Airsoft is the generic name given to the industry that produces air-powered toy guns specifically for the purpose of shooting small, spherical, plastic balls or ‘bbs’.

These plastic bbs are 6mm in diameter, and typically (for indoor arenas) weight 0.2 grams. Their small size allows them to travel quite fast, but their minimal mass creates little-to-no damage on impact.

The propulsion (air) is provided by a compressed spring. The spring’s compression is primarily produced in 3 different ways:

  1. Gas – either propane or green gas, or CO2
  2. Spring – Bolt action, slide or grip
  3. Electric – motor driven by battery (AEG – automatic electric guns)

At Peak Airsoft, we use AEGs for the best game play experience, although some people will use their own airsoft guns which can be electric, spring, or gas.

What Should I Wear?

  • Full-face protection; sealing eye protection either mesh or lens & lower face mask, or complete mask (paintball mask). Masks are available to rent or purchase at the arena
  • Closed-toed footwear

Highly Recommended –

  • Gloves – ideally full-fingered with some padding on the back of the hand & fingers.
  • Hat – baseball caps worn backwards offer the best protection, but other hats or bandanas work.
  • Loose-fitting clothing – cargo pants, long-sleeved shirts and/or thin sweaters.

Other Useful Items – Once you’re hooked on airsoft, here are some other handy items you might want to consider;

  • Helmet
  • Plate carrier or tactical vest
  • Shemagh
  • Knee pads

 

Be prepared to get hot in the arena as you are constantly moving during a game of airsoft, so a heavy jacket is not ideal.
