most of the bb's now are made from corn startch...its not really dangerous unless you misuse them...the nice thing about airsoft is the realism...the guns look like the real thing and the tatics used are more realistic

I was just playing airsoft this weekend and everyone was wearing T-Shirts and Shorts and had eye protection on except one person....He got shot directly in the eye and had to go to the ER. He is blind out of his right eye now

Why was he not wearing eye protection? Thats the most important thing in the sport...

CP20..yea its not mainstream yet, its growing though. A couple good things about it is that it is much cheaper than paintball. A good gun costs between $250-350 and BB's really cheap, about $20 for 3000 i think it is. Unlike in paintball where good guns cost at least $500 and paint is expensive...

My brother got me one for christmas and I love it! It is a replica of a Smith and Wesson Pistol and they are fun to shoot:) My brother got it at the place he works, which is called Gart Sports or "Garts". Its a sporting good store, but Im not sure if they are in other states, or just Colorado, but if you can get one, then you should.

I like them a lot also because you can shoot them in the house as long as you know where your shooting.. The only thing that my dad doesn't like about them is when he finds the yellow bb's on the floor :hop: I also read on the package that my gun came in that you can buy little paintballs for the airsoft guns!
