It's a large foam cylinder (about 3" long) with a soft foam tip. My son has a bunch of nerf guns, ranging from the Recon pistol to the belt-fed 6 D battery eatin' Vulcan machine gun. Nerf is nothing like Airsoft. Nerf is a large soft projectile, and even the most powerful guns only shoot about 30 feet. Airsoft, on the other hand, is a plastic BB gun. Nothing soft about it.

I have no problem with Nerf guns. However, I'm not a fan of Airsoft. Then again, when I was a kid, we didn't have Nerf or Airsoft, so it was Crossman vs. Daisy in the woods where I lived. Then again, we also rode bikes without helmets, rode in the back of a station wagon without seats or seatbelts, and somehow managed to live through it.

That said, if someone were shooting Airsoft in my (or my family's) direction at a park, I'd ask that they stop as well.

i agree, but dont call the cops because they dont care for them at all. again comming from an experineced airsofter. and btw the correct term is acctually "softair". as far as brand i will only run crossman. (they hurt the worst greengas or not)

in all honesty the kids should have been in the wooded area not around the playground. this by the way is comming from an experienced airsofter. also never use one that is all black with orange tip in public, only the clear ones. and besides it illegal to play airsoft anywhere but private property now. although i do think that he over reacted. but the boy should have had enough sense to stop shooting long enough for him to go through. because that makes people like me look bad.

I dont care if it was nerf or airsoft because kids shouldent have them. what most people dont realize is that when you buy one first you have to be 18 or older to buy it. secound it is rated for aldults 18 and up. third when you open it the very first thing the instructions say is that this is not a toy.and if you cant tell the difference between nerf and airsoft then you have a serios problem. airsoft is a replica of the real thing. nerf is a childs play thing. agreed that there aint nothing soft about airsoft. in fact the better you power source is the more they hurt. i should know. i play bare skin all the time with people who use greengas. but im also smart about it. full face mask. play in a sucluded area like the forest at a park or in a creek bed. we just lost $300 worth of equipment lastnight because the new guy thought it would be good idea to run across the street in the middle of the night with a very realistic looking weapon. if any one knows where we can go in arlington texas to play with out getting in trouble with the cops please reply.
