Accessories for airsoft weapons

Gunfinder Magazine

The equipment in the airsoft game fulfills several important tasks. On the one hand, it protects the players from the impact of the bullets, which travel at over 80 m/s and hit with an energy of up to 7.5 joules, and on the other hand, it is an important style accessory for the players.

It is not uncommon for the equipment of a professional airsoft player to be more expensive than that of the average hunter - weapon included.

Protective equipment

Most important is the protection of the eyes. Bouncing, ricocheting BB's or BB's that miss the target (this is the name given to the pellets fired by airsoft guns) must not get into the eye because the BB's are fired at a very high velocity. That's why safety glasses must always be worn, ideally marked as safety glasses for airsoft and softair guns. In addition, the face should be protected with a softair protective mask.

When playing moving games, it is also advisable to use a special protective helmet for airsoft games or replica military or police action helmets.

The hands should be protected with gloves, here tactical or military gloves are recommended, with protectors protecting the back of the hands and fingers. For the rest of the body, at least sturdy clothing is mandatory. As with the game of painball, exposed skin is strongly discouraged because the highly accelerated BBs can cause hematomas or lacerations.

Silencers

Aftermarket silencers are available for many short and long guns. The main purpose is to make the weapon appear even more realistic.

Transport of the Airsoft weapon

The gun case made of plastic or metal and padded with foam rubber. It protects the airsoft gun particularly well from shocks or surface damage.

For use on the field, if at all, a tactical backpack is recommended.

What is the best way to carry my airsoft gun on my body?

On the field, there are true-to-original belt holsters, thigh holsters, and shoulder holsters, with magazine pouches if desired. In the game of airsoft, BBs are fired relatively generously, so changeable magazines are virtually unavoidable.

Aiming

The shooting precision of most weapons suggest the mounting of scopes or illuminated dot sights on the airsoft weapon. For this purpose, the weapon should have an 11-mm prism rail or 22-millimeter Weaver/Picatinny rail.

Red dot sights for airsoft guns?

With a red dot sight, also called a red dot sight, red dot or micro red dot sight, an LED projects a red dot into the center of the target optics. If you look through the sight at your target, you can see where the gun is hitting through the red dot. Two small knobs allow the sight to be adjusted horizontally and vertically to the point of impact of the weapon. As when shooting a firearm, the airsoft weapon should be fixed as much as possible and the hit point position on a target should be checked.

The luminosity of the red dot can be adjusted manually on high-quality models. The size of the dot in MOA should be sufficient to be quickly aimed at the target without obscuring it because of its size (about 5 MOA).

How does a scope for airsoft guns work?

When aiming through a rear sight, you see either the target or the sights in focus-but not both at the same time, because the distances to the eye are different. When aiming through a scope, the reticle and the target can be seen in focus at the same time.

The image is focused by rotating the eyepiece, the aperture of the sighting optics that faces the eye. The scope can be adjusted to the point of impact of the rifle, so that it is also shot where the reticle is pointing.

The target is magnified by X times and thus still clearly and sharply imaged even at greater distances. There are also sights with various continuously adjustable magnification for airsoft weapons.

It makes sense to invest in an optic where the brightness of the illuminated dot reticle can be continuously adjusted, because, for example, in midday sun, a high brightness of the dot is necessary to be able to recognize it. However, the same brightness in low light conditions would be blinding, so a lower brightness is necessary.

Repair of airsoft guns

Liquid or solid repair adhesives specially adapted to the materials of airsoft guns are sold in specialized shops. This can be used to repair minor or major damage. However, this concerns only housing parts, damage to the gas pressure system should be inspected by a specialist.

Velocity measurement of BBs.

A chronograph meter is used to measure the velocity of the BB fired from the airsoft when it is fired past the unit or through an opening in the unit. Some of the devices, after entering the BB weight, then also display its energy in joules. The velocities of the BBs range from 30 m/s up to 100 m/s.

However, too high speeds are not always advantageous, because the safety range and the minimum distance to the firing fellow player increases due to the risk of injury.

The highest quality accessories for airsoft guns are offered online at specialty retailers such as Kotte & Zeller or 4komma5.
