okay i have been in airsoft wars and frankly i think this is BS, the laws in texas are a bit different, i mean we dont shoot other ppls property but when you get shot (in the face) it DOESNT HURT, bb guns are meant for shooting targets airsoft guns are meant for shooting ppl thats how it works.

Kids don’t understand whether it is safe or not. Parents should not buy such stuff for them until they are mature enough to handle.

They CAN be dangerous, if you shoot it around people and accidentally hit them in the face. I don’t recommend shooting at people but if you do, you and they had better be using eye and/or ear protection. How old are you? What do your parents say? If you hurt someone with the gun they are the ones that are more likely to get in trouble.

I am a kid who has been wanting to purchase one. If I did buy one would they be dangerous and could I get in trouble for playing with one if someone sees me? Thank you.

My parents were convinced when i had asked for one for christmas one year that even if I was to handle an airsoft gun, I was automaticly going to die from being shot by someone randomly on the street, that fate was kill me off because of a gun because I handled an airsoft gun. Wouldn’t it be safer to know how to handle and clean a gun even if you never use that information in real life, then to be in a situation where you need to know how to shoot it, clean it, or have aim because your’s or someone else’s life may be at stake? Last time I checked, its better to shoot the bad guy then to be shot by the bad guy. Most parents think that your never going to need that information in your lifetime, but reality check, its a bad world out there and life isn’t all that fair. Just because your child gets good grades in school or hangs with the right crowd doens’t mean that they are free from any danger whatsoever when they leave home…if they leave home… Parents need to put a little trust and faith into their children, its almost sickening.

My parents won’t let me get a puny small spring 10 dollar BB gun it could only hurt if you wanted to hurt someone. I would simply use it for target practice. And they know this. I’m not sure which there more scared about the way it works or that it looks like a gun. My dad says we don’t have guns in this house, and it “looks too much like one”. Have a you ever seen a real gun that is clear, and plastic? Thought so.

What a great post about Airsoft Safety. There are weapons out there that shoot is excess of 400 FPS. These guns can hurt some one. They need to be used in the same safety manner as real guns. They are great pre steps in the training of real weapons.

Amazing Tracee. I am resigned to the fact that like it or not, there will be times where I will have to step in and instruct other people’s kids. Of course this is only when it effects me and my family. Early on in dating Jane, I got brownie points from her friends that were seated several rows back in church and they observed me reprimanding some boys that were being disruptive in front of me. But your example takes the cake and convicts directly the parents of those kids playing with BB-guns in their yard.

I live in Texas and I’ve literally had to go across the street and ask the 10 year old so not shoot the BB gun in the direction of my children playing in the yard.
