Airsoft gun

Airsoft guns are replica toy weapons used in airsoft sports. They are a special type of very low-power smoothbore airguns designed to shoot non-metallic spherical projectiles often colloquially (and incorrectly) referred to as “BBs”, which are typically made of (but not limited to) plastic or biodegradable resin materials. Airsoft gun powerplants are designed to have low muzzle energy ratings (generally less than 1.5 J, or 1.1 ft-lb) and the pellets have significantly less penetrative and stopping powers than conventional airguns and are generally safe for competitive sporting and recreational purposes if proper protective gear is worn.
