Airsoft

by airsoftizklaide

Airsoft is a team sport and a military simulation game. It uses replica firearms to shoot small plastic pellets. Airsoft offers great entertainment and has been recognized around the world as a unifying team or group sport. It is also an exciting adventure, marvellous way of recreation and a hobby, too. There is many abandoned post soviet military bases in Latvia, which are perfect places for Airsoft games. Airsoft is a game where everyone can participate. You don`t need special trainig or skills to play. Game masters will explain you all necessary rules. Durations of one game is approximately 4 hours. It is possible to bring your own equipment, but if you don`t have it then you can rent it from game masters (weapon, uniform, protective mask or goggles, gloves), but is better to have at least you own boots with high sole.
