Airsoft Guns

By Kevin Hutto

Airsoft shotguns are a lot of fun. You can buy them in a variety of styles and types. For example, you could choose a 12 gauge, pump action, spring, or sawed off style. They are modeled after real guns but they are toys that can be used by kids through adults. The shotguns are safe and use tiny plastic pellets as ammo. These pellets are loaded into the guns using a tube device that keeps them from spilling all over.

The Airsoft shotgun pellets are available in different sizes and colors depending upon the type of gun they are used in. These shotguns provide hours of play for young kids who use their imaginations in games like Cowboys and Indians or War. These guns add a touch of realism yet they are safe since the tiny pellets are soft and at the most will just sting a bit.

If you are using these Airsoft guns, you will still want to protect your eyes. You can find safety glasses or goggles where you purchase your Airsoft shotgun and have hours upon hours of fun while protecting your eyes. Airsoft shotguns are a new and fun way for all boys of all ages to be creative and be outdoors in the fresh air running and playing.

For those of you who are fathers or grandfathers remember the days of your childhood that there were not arcade games that kept you inside all day. Those were the days that you pretended you had a shotgun or a cheap plastic shotgun running and playing the good guys against the bad guys.

You can give that same sense of excitement to your kids with the gift of an Airsoft shotgun. Get them away from the TV and out of the house into the fresh air. Get them running and playing while using their own imaginations for entertainment rather than relying on computer games.

Airsoft shotguns are affordable too, more so than the latest video game. What's great is that these toys get your kids moving rather than sitting. They have so much fun they don't even realize they are exercising. Airsoft guns are safe, even for younger kids as long as the proper eye protection is worn.

Airsoft shotgun pellets cannot penetrate the skin because they are small and lightweight. You can feel it when you get shot which makes a shoot out at the OK corral a little more exciting. It doesn't hurt though, just a slight sting.

Even so, when you give your kids an Airsoft shotgun, it is a good time to teach them about gun safety and how to be responsible. That way they stay safe and don't accidentally harm animals or birds. They should be taught how to properly handle the gun as well as how to shoot it. They should understand the importance of wearing eye protection. And because kids will be kids, they should only use Airsoft guns under adult supervision.
