Safety
First! |

Safety is always a
first!
Lets be smart about this. Airsoft guns are
indistinguishable from actual firearms so do not
take airsoft guns into public places.
Additionally, airsoft guns are designed to be used
by experienced shooters only. If airsoft guns are
used irresponsibly, bodily injury can and will
occur. Please exercise all safety
precautions. Safety equipment such as goggles,
facemasks, layered clothing, etc. is essential for
your protection.
Common sense is essential for
protection against the actions of you and other
people. Mistaken identification of airsoft guns
may result in the accidental death of the user. Be
mature. Be careful. Be safe. *

What all this really means! |
|
| |
Airsoft guns are not toys. Although they fire
plastic BBs at relatively low velocities, there is
still a high potential for personal injury if not
using the proper protective gear. At the very
least you should always have eye protection.
Ideally, all exposed skin should be covered to a
reasonable extent, especially if the combat is to
take place at close ranges such as is usually the
case with indoor CQB (Close Quarters Battle). This
means ears, neck/throat, mouth, and so on.
With that in mind, there is another danger
inherent with Airsoft guns - potentially a lot
more dangerous than getting hit with a BB on
exposed skin, or even in the eye for that matter.
This danger lies in the weapons' realism. You
should never display your Airsoft weapon in public
(or even have it sitting in the open in a vehicle)
because there's no way anybody would ever think it
was a pellet gun. Any crime committed with an
Airsoft gun will carry the same penalties as if
you were using a real gun. If you do something
stupid like point it at somebody, you can be
arrested for felonious assault. If you point it at
a police officer or an armed citizen, you could
wind up dead. Once again, these things are not
toys. If you plan on having a battle where there's
even a small chance of the public seeing the
players or their equipment, you should notify the
law enforcement authorities in your area
beforehand. This way, when someone drives by and
reports on their cell phone that "armed maniacs
are running around in the woods" the police know
what's really going on. It may be worth it to go
down to your local police or sheriff department
and talk to some supervisors about Airsoft in
general and to let them know you have a group in
the area. Eventually maybe they'll ask you to
bring in some of your guns so they can verify your
story. And who knows, some of them may even want
to get involved in your tournament.
These are just good rules to go by: |
|
|
|
 |
Always
treat every gun as if it were loaded. Never point a
gun at something you wouldn't want to shoot, hurt, or
destroy, even if the gun's empty. |
|
|
When
you're not shooting, always keep the muzzle of your
weapon pointed in a safe direction. |
|
|
Never
leave a loaded weapon unattended. |
|
|
Always
keep your trigger finger outside of the trigger guard
until the moment you're going to fire. |
|
|
Always
know what you are aiming at! |
