General Questions
-
Does Airsoft Hurt?
Yes, Airsoft can hurt. The amount of pain you may feel will depend on a lot of factors, such as your pain tolerance, distance, clothing, and adrenaline levels. Airsoft BBs can leave welts and bruises, depending on the range you are hit from and the clothing worn.
Looking for a less painful alternative? Gelblaster in our Glow-in-the-Dark battlezone is great fun for everyone aged 6 and up! Gel blasters use superabsorbent polymer water beads (gelllets) as ammo, and they’re much less painful compared to other alternatives like paintballs and plastic bbs.
Airsoft Guns - 350 FPS
Surge Gelblaster - 100FPS!
-
What is the Minimum Age limit?
The minimum age to play Airsoft at Scorpion is 10 years old, however, Airsoft does hurt, and some younger players do not enjoy the experience.
We recommend Gel Blaster for those aged 6 - 12/13 years old, as there is little to no issues with bruises or welts and the game is overall safer, allowing players to focus on having fun instead of worrying about getting hit!
