Frequently Asked Questions

Why are blank rounds dangerous for airsoft?

Blank rounds are dangerous for airsoft because, while they don't fire a projectile, the rapid expansion of gases from the blank can cause significant injury to players and damage to airsoft equipment. The muzzle blast itself can be hazardous at close range.

What are the risks associated with using glow stick rounds in airsoft?

Glow stick rounds, even if intended as less lethal, pose risks in airsoft. The glow sticks can break apart and become projectiles. Furthermore, the light emitted by the glow sticks would immediately reveal a player's position, negating any tactical advantage.

Can flashbangs be safely used in airsoft games?

No, flashbangs should not be used in airsoft. A 172-decibel flashbang can cause permanent hearing damage due to its extreme sound output. The concussive force and smoke also present significant safety hazards to participants.

What makes the Ram Shell unsafe for airsoft?

The Ram Shell is unsafe for airsoft because it contains a 22 blank and a polymer ball. While theoretically less lethal, variations in blank powder can easily turn it into a projectile-firing round, making it potentially lethal in an airsoft environment.
