Airsoft was invented in Japan around 1980, when Japan made it illegal to own a firearm, even though there was a large interest in them. Because of this interest, manufacturers started to produce spring-powered replicas of real guns. These guns fired several calibers of plastic or rubber bbs, buy were eventually standardized into 6mm and 8mm plastic bbs. The earlier spring powered guns were then morphed into gas and battery powered guns, using a variety of systems. The hobby then migrated to North America in the mid 1990s.
The first air soft gun was in the late 70s by Daisy. Even though it never caught on over here the Japanese found it and they started making it. It started in Japan in the Early !980's because it was illegal to own a firearm. And after about a decade the sport immigrated to the USA.
The sport of Airsoft started in Japan during the early 1980s. It was illegal to own firearms in Japan but there was a significant interest in them, so a company started producing spring-powered replicas of firearms that fired 6mm, plastic BBs. During the latter part of the 1980s the sport migrated to neighboring countries such as Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines. Airsoft started appearing in North America and Europe during the middle of the 1990's.
Airsoft was created and marketed in Japan in the 1980s due to civilian ownership of firearms being banned. Airsoft was used to closely emulate real guns. Now Airsoft guns have been adapted with a purely recreational application in mind.
