Harpers Ferry Airsoft

Airsoft is a team sport.  Participants who play airsoft compete in various scenarios to be the first to reach an objective, such as capturing the opposing team or obtaining a “flag”.  Opposing players are eliminated by being hit with plastic pellets shot with airsoft guns, similar to paintball.

Playing airsoft relies on honesty. Airsoft pellets do not leave visible markings on their target and hits are not always apparent.  Players who have been hit are expected to call themselves out by shouting “HIT!”

Airsoft guns shoot hard, round, plastic pellets at about 400 feet/second.  Yes, they can sting, cause bruising, or leave welts if the proper gear is not worn! To keep everyone safe, when you play airsoft protective eyewear is required and available for rent, and we encourage airsoft participants to wear long sleeves, pants, and gloves. 

Airsoft players are welcome to bring their own airsoft guns, but it is not required.  The all-day airsoft pass includes a replica M4 airsoft gun rental.

Your all-day airsoft pass includes a face mask, gloves, and chest protector.  Camouflage pants and long-sleeve shirts are also available, but we encourage you to bring your own clothing.

If you are new to airsoft, keep in mind that being hit on exposed skin can hurt!  Similar to paintball, sometimes airsoft pellets can even cause bruising or welts. 

We recommend you bring your own clothing for airsoft, but do have BDUs (battle dress uniform) available on a first come, first serve basis. 

Pants, long sleeve shirts or a light jacket or sweatshirt are what is commonly worn.  A hat is also a good idea, and closed toed shoes are a must.
