Airsoft Safety

Safety

Airsoft guns should be treated just like real firearms despite the designation they are “model” guns. They have the ability to cause serious facial injuries, therefore should be treated as a dangerous weapon.

Public Safety

Never Bring your Airsoft gun to public areas! This includes parks and schools. People who are not familar with the sport will mistake these for REAL weapons. Law enforcement officers have a stressful enough job without having to try and distinguish Airsofts from the real steel. Always keep your orange flash hider on!

When traveling or moving your AEG or GBB pistol, make sure to carry it in a gun case or bag.

When traveling with your AEG or GBB pistol, Keep the orange flash hider on. If you are pulled over by law enforcement officers, please be up-front and explain the sport in a productive manner. Failure to have the required orange tip on your weapons will lead to confiscation and probable arrest! Remember it is our job to protect the sport and obey the laws required by the state.

If you are running an event, please notify local police and fire officials. Ask to have a law enforcement officer visit your location and get familular with the equipment and location of your events. Post signs that clearly state the intentions of your event. For example “Airsoft Event in Progress Military Uniforms and Replica Guns in use call 555-555-5555 for more information”
Pre record a message with critical contact and information.

Personal Safety

Always establish a safe zone where all guns have magazines out and the safety on. You could go a step farther and have batteries disconnected.

Keep you fingers off the trigger! Sometimes there can be “one in the chamber” and an accidental discharge could cause serious injury.

Always wear your protective goggles. Make sure your eye protection passes the ANSI Z87.1 impact standards. Never wear regular sunglasses or prescription lenses for eye protection. If fogging occurs during play, do not remove your eye protection. Put your red rag on your head and move to a safe zone, wipe your lenses with the appropriate cloth. Paintball goggles with thermal lenses seem to fog less than other types. If you are under the age of 18, wear a full facemask.

Please use common sense when handling these model guns. Do not point these at anyone outside the game area. This includes local wildlife and structures.
