Airsoft tracer
Perhaps no man who would not have heard of paintball. Less well known in Russia airsoft. In continuation of a series of articles about it, very interesting, as a "rest in arms," we hope to fill the next information gap.  In contrast to the widespread "hard" tires, this type of weapon specifically designed so as not to injure players. As the minimum safety regulations (mandatory to wear - just glasses), the most serious "injury" - a bruise. For example, after a game of paintball, bruises on the body - much more impressive, because he and the ball longer and harder.
 
In favor of Airsoft tracer evidenced by the fact that the used ammunition have cost an order of magnitude smaller than that used in paintball. By the way about ammunition. In airsoft, there are two major caliber weapons – 6 mm and 8 mm. Rules adopted by the Russian Airsoft 6 mm caliber, the most common. Munitions themselves are of different types and purposes (the colorful "salad", which is sold on the market, does not count - it is not suitable for use in the qualitative arms). Balls of acceptable quality have no joints and internal asymmetric cavities, in diameter; they differ by no more than a few hundredths of a millimeter. Airsoft ammunition conventionally is classified by weight: Lightweight - up to 0, 2 g - for indoor use; Medium - up to 0,3 g - for shooting in open landfills; Heavy - up to 0.43 d - for firing on the limiting distance from the long-barreled weapons opt.

The energy of a light 6-millimeter ball is so small that, by law, airsoft models do not meet the definition of sporting air guns. Yet, the language does not turn call Airsoft model toys, because realism, which made many of them misleading, even experienced people. Recently, when the author takes on one of the famous gun shops Case Airsoft version of assault rifle AUG, the sellers are not the thought that the rifle is not fighting, even after one of the "experts" picked it up. Detailed, up to order dismantling / assembly line airsoft weapon fighting prototypes, and attracts professionals. 
Increasingly, security organization and security big companies get it, as for training their employees. Airsoft guns can be divided into several groups. And in addition to the separation of types of small arms in accordance with the prototypes, there is a separation based on the fundamental design features peculiar to only airsoft weapons.
