Airsoft — simply explained
Airsoft is a team sport where players use electric or gas-powered replica guns that shoot small soft plastic pellets (BBs). The pellets weigh 0.20–0.28 grams and cause a slight sting on contact — similar to a rubber band snap. Full protective gear makes this practically negligible.
Airsoft is not paintball — the replica looks like a real gun but operates safely. The difference is that airsoft doesn't leave paint marks, and the honour system applies: if you get hit, you leave the field voluntarily.
Is airsoft dangerous?
With proper equipment and safety rules, airsoft is one of the safest active sports. A protective mask covering the eyes and face is mandatory. At N.A.C. events, the mask is required throughout the entire game — no exceptions.
We have organised hundreds of events. There have been no serious injuries. Sometimes a small bruise appears — that's all. Comparison: football, basketball and swimming cause statistically far more injuries.
From what age?
We generally recommend airsoft from age 13. Teenagers aged 13-17 can participate in full games with parental consent.
There is no upper age limit. Airsoft is popular with people aged 40–50 as well, since it doesn't require peak athletic fitness — tactical thinking replaces sprinting.
What do you need to bring?
Practically nothing special. We recommend comfortable clothes you don't mind getting dirty and sturdy closed-toe footwear. Everything else — gun, ammunition, protective mask — is provided. Come empty-handed, leave with memories.
What games are played?
- Last Man Standing — the last team on the field wins
- Capture the Flag — bring the enemy flag to your base

Why is airsoft perfect for a birthday?
You remember a regular birthday as a nice day. You remember an airsoft birthday precisely — every battle, every strategic decision, every moment a friend appeared surprisingly from around the corner.
Airsoft develops teamwork, strategic thinking, physical activity and sportsmanship in children — all in the form of a game, not a training lecture.
