An essential guide to the world of airsoft gear, from the Rangers and Fallschirmj ger of World War II through to the Seals and SAS operators of the present day.Airsoft International Magazine is the worlds best-selling airsoft magazine and in conjunction with Osprey they are creating an essential guide to the sport. Airsoft is a simulated combat sport similar to paintball. Using replica guns that fire plastic pellets, players on opposing sides battle it out in action-based games at dedicated sites. Where it differs from paintball is that airsoft is much more focused on military simulation and historical re-enactment. The players base their uniforms, kit, and weapons on genuine historical examples and pride themselves on the accuracy of their reproductions. The scenarios they then engage in vary from simple skirmishes through to complex day-long military simulations and re-enactments of specific events from the past.
