jeez - I was trying to give a few suggestions to "sell it" to mum so to speak. Of course it is nowt like real one but a bit better than trying to practice with a Nerf

Play the 'your overprotective and stifling my wants and needs' card.

Chock makes excellent points, what would they consider "not realistic"? or acceptable? I'd rather have my teenage son airsofting than playing a video game any day of the week!

Just admit to them that they're right, and that with all the money you'll save not airsofting; you'll be able to afford that drug habit you've always wanted. ;)

(Disclaimer: Probably *not* a good idea).

tell em to fuck off and die / few days later tell em that airsoft is a good way to channel feelings of aggression

You could always point out to them that there has never been a single instance ever, of anyone going into a school with an airsoft gun and killing dozens of their classmates and teachers and then turning the airsoft gun on themselves and checking out. And that's because they are not realistic.

Its the whole gun thing and pointing it at people.

Go anyway

Then the problem is easily solved; challenge them to a duel to settle the matter; pistols at dawn. If they don't like pointing guns at people, your victory is assured.

Tell them that you will only use it at skirmishes. and they can store it in a safe place away from you at home

M_P, I cant because one of them has to be in the place for the whole time.... That's another reason they don't like the sound of it...

R U sure ???? Zero One was running like a holiday club in summer for parents to drop off kids n go to work etc..

Plus there are "Young Guns" for U16's where parents drop & collect later
