I don't own an airsoft gun, but I DO know that airsoft is such a fun game. To become a pro at airsoft, one must practice targets and stelth. Now you could just practice at an arena, but it would be even better to have your own gun to practice with. Yes having a gun does seem dangerous, but with THIS gun, the whole goal is to shoot your opponents. The airsoft gun does hurt when one gets shot with one, but that's the whole point. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger am I right? Now I have been shot by an airsoft pro(aka my Dad), and yes the pain of a tiny pebble can be shocking since it's so smol, but it's kinda the same feeling as when a grasshopper hits your legs while you are driving on a motorcycle(which happens all the time to me lol). This is why when one plays airsoft, they wear clothing to protect themselves from the pain. Once I learned my lesson from wearing thin jeans, I wore two pairs of jeans the next time I played. And may I just say that the next time I got shot, it didn't hurt that much. In conclusion, the airsoft gun isn't that dangerous of a gun. Probably one of the least dangerous guns. It is only strong enough to kill a bug, and it's not strong enough to kill small animals(except maybe mice). To be honest, I think it is a great idea to let a kid have a gun so he/she could learn how to use it properly. If a kid never learns how to use a gun, they may not know how to defend themselves from wild animals or crazy people(which in the future there will be WAY more crazy people :/). You should get your kid an airsoft gun, and teach him/her the proper way to use it. It's the right thing to do. :)
