Airsoft freaks and fanatics! Who loves playing Airsoft the most?

"What type of people like Airsoft? I know that military people use it for practice, and you have to be in good shape to play Airsoft, so is is fitness buffs, gun junkies, video game players, business people?? I'm just wondering about this. Thank you!"

Response From Airsoft Gun Dome:

It literally attracts all types! I’ve seen young kids and blokes in their sixties playing on various sites. You get men, women (sadly outnumbered!), professionals, teenagers, students and anyone else you could think of.

Basically it’s just people who get a buzz form the physical game and the excitement of playing!

There would tend to be a high proportion of serving and ex military people or police officers, though in my experience they play for the fun of it rather than for training – they get enough of that at work!

As for fitness, it certainly helps to be able to run a lot and to have good stamina, but it’s not essential (except for hardcore milsim games).
