You are asking for opinion. My opinion? AirSoft guns are not especially dangerous- they were not made to be a weapon. While anything CAN be a weapon (ever been poked with a spork?) the ammo and speed of an AirSoft tend to be much safer than BB guns or pellet rifle that fire metal projectiles (Airsoft uses a plastic BB that is a different size than metal BBs). Bad influence? Well, it is a lifeless object- pretty hard for it to influence anyone. Learning to use any type of gun properly does teach patience, ability to follow directions, coordination, judgement- and it gets you the heck out of the house and outdoors for a while.

Are airsoft guns safe for 11 year olds?

if you are over 18 then you can purchase the gun for them yes. but it is frowned upon. Airsoft is a sport for mature adults Partially correct. It's a game for adults and teens/pre-teens. I see younger kids playing airsoft. I play airsoft and paintball. It's perfectly legal in SOME states/countries to get airsoft guns for 11 year olds. They just can't buy the guns themselves. They must have an adult present.


Is a bb gun dangerous for a 12 year old?

a bb or airsoft gun is never dangerous until it is used. then it is determined to be dangerous or not depending on the person! An average 12 year old will probably be encouraged by his/her friends to get one but if he understands that they can be dangerous if used incorrectly and that it is a big responsibility then im sure he will be fine. If you are a parent it is natural to be nervous about agreeing but a small pistol wont be too bad as long as s/he realises not to be silly.Airsoft guns are much safer as they are designed for open combat! BB Guns are NOT! However, when purchasing one u WILLbe told if it is a BBGun. Many guns come under the name of a BB Gun when in actual fact it is an airsoftbut overall a regular spring functioning pistol is quick simple, fun and safe for a 12 year old, especially with safety locks and trigger locks.Please note: DO NOT GET THEM ONE IF THEY ARE ASKING FOR A GAS GUN! GAS OR C02 GUNS ARE MUCH, MUCH MORE POWERFUL AND IF SHOT AT WITHOUT PROPER GUARDING WILL CERTAINLY RESULT IN A LARGE HOSPITAL BILL! DONT GET GAS GUNS EVEN IF THEYRE UST PISTOLS!
