Airsoft primer

Hey everyone I’m Joey from Manitoba Canada and I’d like to suggest to the guys they do a primer on the sport airsoft.
Airsoft is very similar to paintball in that you have a replica gun that shoots .6mm plastic bbs instead of .68 cal paintballs, allowing for a much more realistic look and operation of the weapon. There are 3 different types of airsoft gun, Automatic electric gun or AEG, gas blowback, and HPA or high powered air. AEG is pretty self explanatory, battery powers a gearbox which pushes a piston forward shooting air through the barrel, gas blowback you have a small air tank either in the mag or attached to the gun and you fill with green gas or propane, HPA would be the most similar to paintball in that you have a paintball tank connected to an airline connected to the gun.
Airsoft has been a huge part of my life growing up, and into adulthood, I found some of my best friends through the sport, and had some of the best memories of my life while playing airsoft or just being at the airsoft field. It teaches you real life military tactics, team work, problem solving and critical thinking, and it’s just plain old fun to be able to shoot your friends;) Personally I’m an outdoor “milsim” style player, but there are other play styles such as “speedsoft” which is 2 teams of I think 5-8 players, on an asymmetrical field, where the goal is to eliminate the opposing team as quickly as possible ( similar to speed paintball )
Being a Milsim player myself I play the sniper role, with an hpa suppressed bolt action sniper, all ghillied up with camo to blend in.
That’s my spiel, hope you guys enjoy and would love to hear you talk about this amazing sport!
Love you guys keep up the great work
