Pea guns. This is how airsoft weapons are commonly derided by many shooters. The "Sighting Special. Issue 77: Airsoft" is dedicated to this misunderstood sport and leisure activity and aims to dispel prejudices, eliminate misconceptions and also report on its complexity. A comprehensive glossary explains the most important terms. The history is illuminated - for example, Japan's decisive role in this segment. In addition, the different systems (spring, gas or electric drive), the state of the sport in Germany and internationally and the future prospects are considered.
The question of the right ammunition, the appropriate accessories (what equipment should definitely be used?) and above all the legal perspective, as far as the subject of Airsoft is concerned, also takes up a separate article in each case. The reader learns what makes these weapons interesting for re-enactors and collectors, and what is permissible and feasible when it comes to "weapon tuning". An extensive appendix with book introductions, addresses, associations and other useful information completes this sighting special.
