Hello All! I would like to take this opportunity to make a public service announcement with regards to safety and responsibility both on and off of the field. Please remember to always use proper eye and face protection when playing airsoft to avoid serious injury. Airsoft is a fun sport, but like many sports, it can be dangerous and should be treated as such. Always observe the rules of the field at which you are playing. It's no fun if you don't call your hits or fail to follow 'dead men tell no tales' rules. Why cheat to stay in the game when you can just re-spawn? Besides, it's a good time to reload magazines and check your gear.
With regards to off the field, it is important to remember that airsoft guns are not toys. Always check your local and state laws before purchasing or using airsoft guns, and remember that individual townships may have specific ordinances even if the state does not. Do not assume that because your airsoft gun has an orange tip on the end of the barrel that it will not be seen as a weapon by bystanders and police (police being the more important of the two). Also, check to see if your township has specific rules for transportation of airsoft guns, such as requiring that they not be loaded while in the vehicle, or that they be in the trunk or otherwise out of the driver's direct control, as with some firearms ordinances. This can include being locked in a case or stored in such a way that the firearm is separated from the ammunition.
Airsoft is a wonderful sport, it brings people together and teaches responsible gun handling and discipline. However, it doesn't take much to ruin it for everybody. Know the rules before you start playing airsoft, and you'll have a much more enjoyable experience. But most importantly, Get Out and Play!
