Why airsoft guns are dangerous




















In all my days of playing, I have never received a hit that was unbearable and nor have I lost any blood. However, I have seen a player take a hit to his exposed knuckles which then began to bleed. A good pair of gloves should prevent these kinds of injuries and also protect your hand from cuts and scrapes caused by other environmental factors.

Most countries have laws that require you to transport your airsoft guns in special bags or cases. The idea is that you should never go walk around with your replica exposed as it may be mistaken for a real firearm.

This can cause other people to panic and behave irresponsibly, or it might get your arrested, or even shot by law enforcement officers. There are quite a few known cases of people being arrested or even shot by the police for carrying an airsoft gun in public.

I would argue that this is possibly the most dangerous thing which you could do with an airsoft gun. Not only does it put you in danger, but it also poses a serious risk for the people around you.

Just think of how many people got into trouble for using their replica as a prop for their Halloween costume.

You might have some that panic and run away without paying attention to stuff like incoming traffic and they end up getting hit by a car. You might have people that will want to fight you or draw a real firearm if they are carrying one.

All these situations can quickly escalate into something you want no part of and even endanger your life or that of others. Please make sure to always transport your airsoft replicas according to your local laws. Another thing to remember is that you should never use your airsoft gun as a means of intimidation. AEGs — electric airsoft guns — can catch fire because of their batteries.

The main problem is that they burn very violently and can potentially set fire to other objects. There have been cases where the batteries have caught fire while being inside a replica. You can see such an example in the YouTube video below. If the battery is swollen or punctured, you should stop using it and make sure to dispose of it in an appropriate place. Guns with a higher FPS, let's say in the range that you buy from a legitimate airsoft retailer, can cause significantly more damage than a weaker spring pistol.

Though, "damage" in this sense makes reference to the potential of welts that can form on the skin when shot always observe the proper safety protocols when handling any airsoft gun. Airsoft guns in general, even the more powerful guns such as sniper rifles, will only leave a stinging welt on your skin.

Understand the difference between low velocity and high-velocity airsoft guns so that you can buy the right type of gun for your kid. Just as firearm laws vary from state to state, so do laws governing airsoft guns. Before purchasing an airsoft gun, you should research your local laws in your state. In some states, only a child's parents can give them an airsoft gun. That means if anyone else gives them an airsoft gun -- uncles, family friends, grandparents -- the law will view that act as illegal and the offender could get into trouble.

There are some cities where it's illegal to discharge your weapon at all. That means even shooting in your backyard is illegal. States like Texas, unsurprisingly, allow for a freer reign of airsoft guns. Educate yourself on your local laws to avoid any possible legal troubles later on down the line.

Thus far, we've only covered the negative aspects of airsoft guns. However, there are many positives. The United States has kept them legal, only requiring that manufacturers install a 6mm orange tip?

For one, they shoot their projectiles at a speed fast enough to cause major injury to the eye. In fact, a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that there were 19, non-powder gun injuries in , 71 percent of which were people aged 20 or under.

Even more tragic are the multitude of cases where police mistook Airsoft guns as real firearms? Of course, the utmost care should be taken with these dangerous toys. But for some, the moment for caution has passed and an injury has already occurred.

In those cases, a product liability attorney may be able to help the victim recover compensation for medical expenses, loss of wages and pain and suffering. Airsoft guns shoots bb use that are plastic and designs to be non lethal. All of this exists by design since airsoft is not a game where you want people to get hurt. A simple calculation: An average airsoft gun fires a. This gives the gun a muzzle energy of 0. In comparison, a common 9mm round has a muzzle energy of around foot-pounds, or joules.

Thats almost times as powerful! The most essential gear is eye protection. The rest of the gear will just help you reduce the pain of being shot on the bare skin but you can do without it and still have fun and be safe playing airsoft.
