Airsoft is a game in which participants eliminate opponents by hitting each other with spherical plastic pellets launched via replica firearms called airsoft guns.

Airsoft is commonly compared to paintball, with some key differences being:

1. Unlike paintballs, airsoft pellets do not always mark their target and hits are not always visibly apparent; therefore airsoft relies on an honor system in which it is the duty of the person who has been hit to call themselves out regardless of whether or not anyone saw it happen.

2. Most airsoft guns are magazine-fed with no air tank, and tend to much more closely replicate real guns. This makes them more popular especially for military simulation and historical reenactments.

3. For casual players airsoft is much cheaper to try than paintball.
