Replica Weapons

Replica weapons are detailed 1:1 scale weapon imitations used in airsoft. Airsoft games includes military simulations, short-term skirmishes, historical reenactment, indoor airsoft field, among others. The weapons include airsoft guns, land mines, grenades, and grenade launchers. The guns and grenade launchers make use of several mechanisms to fire the bbs and launch grenades respectively. The mechanisms are spring, gas, and electric powered. The grenades and land mines use bb pellets, nontoxic smoke, or dry peas which act as shrapnel. Airsoft grenades also use flashbangs that emit loud sounds and bright light to perfectly distract and disorient the enemy. Gas powered guns are a choice of either blowback or non-blowback models. The blowback feature give a real firearm feeling thus making it a favourite amongst young airsoft enthusiasts while the non-blowback models give a more powerful punch using lesser amount of gas. Electrical guns are preferred when high rates of rounds per minute is required. Replica weapons are not only used by airsoft gamers, but also by military and law enforcement personnel during training.
