Hello everyone.
My soon to be 10 year old has asked for an airsoft gun for his birthday. He has a BB gun that stays in the gun safe, but he wants an airsoft to have battles with a couple of friends of his that already have them.
I have absolutely no experience with them but have played a bit of paintball. He's asked about paintball, but having personally experienced really hot guns at public games that left more than bruises I think he's going to have to wait a bit for that.
So what's the deal with airsoft? Is it like getting hit with a paintball? Do folks that have experience with them think that 10 is too young if supervised? Do the biodegradeable airsoft BBs work OK?
Having looked online a bit, I don't like how realistic some of the guns are. I'd be looking for something that looks like an airsoft gun, not an MP5. I'm assuming that a full face shield is also the way to go.
Thanks for the advice for any help
