Airsoft is primarily a recreational activity with replica firearms that shoot plastic BBs that are often used for personal collection, gaming (similar to paintball), or professional training purposes (military simulations, a.k.a. MilSim, and police training exercises).
A modern combat sport in which participants eliminate their opponents by hitting them with spherical non-metallic pellets launched from a compressed-air gun
Airsoft refers to a class of replica air powered guns that originated from Japan (although the origins go back to the US in the 70s). The power levels are way below those of traditional airguns, but the guns are 1:1 scale copies of original pistols, rather than original designs.

"A Free People Ought to be Armed."
Decided to use some spare time to work on some single point lighting, the most interesting "prop" I have is my ol' G&G GR16 (Airsoft Model of M4A1).
There is some lettering in this photo, on top and bottom, which is supposed to read "A free people ought to be armed"(Some words are purposely cut off), a quote form George Washington. Everyday I find this great country slowly sinking little by little, which is a huge embarrassment. We need to do what we can to make this country what it once was before this economic crisis and before they slowly started snatching our rights as a people.
I also added the dead/dying leaves to represent our country sort of "dying" I guess you could say. Once we are back on top, I promise I'll take a photo representing our country's rehabilitation.
