I’ve (I’m 10) been interested in airsoft for a few months and I just want to get an airsoft gun and maybe play the sport but my parents say It’s too dangerous. I argued that I can just be safe and buy an airsoft gun with low fps but they are still saying no. They say they are worried about my safety but I’m not sure why. Help! What should I do?

Fps? I know that doesnt mean frames per seconds what is that?

I wish they will give me permission to buy the airsoft gun, and since I’m a minor I can’t do it by myself.

I think like feet per second

speedrun your developing interest in airsoft by getting a real gun/j

Start with nerf guns, then build ur way up to paintball after a few months, show them paintball is safe, then eventually attempt rental airsoft guns to prove they are safe. This will usually work, as you gain trust in the safety of airsoft

Then paintball is what I think is the next best option

Just say you won’t really shoot it

Just wait until you’re older, it’s illegal in lots of countries to have airsoft guns for certain ages

That’s why i didn’t get any airsoft guns until last year

Yeah, I think there's a reason you can't buy it as a minor. I do think you will have to wait a few years. Plus what #14 said
