Anyone have any hints for convincing a parent that isn't particularly excited about letting me get airsoft? Any kind of safety record stuff, assurances of safety, and blah blah blah. I just someone else to help convince them, it would help if its been someone into it for awhile. Also,any help on validating the cost (such as possible uses, etc.). Thanks, Kamikaze

ur parents should feel fine about getting a airsoft gun cause as long as u wear goggles no harm will come to u. plus airsoft is not as messy and as vandalizing as paintball!! all airsoft guns are shipped with orange tips so u don't get in trouble with the cops. ------------------

Try: "Fine then, I'll just sit around the house all day long and get fat!! Where instead I could be out with my friends running around, having good safe fun" I was lucky enough that my parents let me buy an air pistol (C02 powered pellet) to shoot in the garage and backyard, so I don't think they'd mind me getting an airsoft. ------------------

I don't think that just becthey have orange markings can they not be considered safe or not. It's all about how responsible the owner handles what they've purchased. So long as you can prove to not only your parents but yourself that you're capable of treating it as if it was a REAL firearm, then I doubt there would be a problem. Use it in places that you know for certain would be an acceptable place for Airsoft, such as a paintball field or indoor arena. Public parks or 'fields out back' are not advisable, for neither players OR the sport. Incidents with Airsoft hurt all players, not just the guilt associated. ------------------
