About Airsoft!
Airsoft is a tactical combat sport that has become increasingly popular around the world. In airsoft, players use replica firearms that fire small plastic pellets to engage in mock combat scenarios. During gameplay, players engage in team-based scenarios, such as capturing a flag, defending a base, or rescuing hostages. The games can take place indoors or outdoors, and often involve complex strategic planning and communication between teammates. Airsoft requires tactical thinking and communication skills, and can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels. It offers a safe and exciting way to experience the adrenaline rush of combat without the risk of real-world harm.
Our Society
At UOB's airsoft society, we aim to create an environment in which everyone (new players or seasoned veterans), is able to access and enjoy an incredibly unique and engaging sport. We run an airsoft gameday every other Sunday with UWE's airsoft society, along with regular socials and planned trips to airsoft venues across the country!
