This is a website about an Airsoft team called A.W.S. (Assault Weapons Specialists). It is composed of six Airsoft enthusiasts: Scott, Tim, Darren, Brian, Chris, and Jon. Airsoft is a word that describes a sport that is like Paintball, but the team is armed with replica 1:1 scale automatics, shotguns, and handguns that cannot be modified to shoot real ammo. It instead shoots tiny 6mm plastic pellets. The whole purpose of Airsoft is for either War Simulation or Police Training. Ok, but  really it's to play as a team against another team just like Paintball. But Airsoft guns are more realistic because the guns look real. Airsoft is also not messy  because it's ammo doesn't explode into a mess of paint on contact. It merely just bounces off the person after hitting him/her. This causes them to "die" or lose movement on one of their limbs (by rules of the game. You dont REALLY lose movement of your limbs, you have to fake it)  like in real Combat. Except for the fact that you don't literally fall into a spasm on the ground, like when you get shot by a real gun. You just have to walk out of the game (to the beginning of course) when shot. The BB's cannot kill anyone as it is plastic and cannot pierce the skin unless it hits the soft spot of the eye. (this is the reason why we use goggles to protect our vision!). The guns either have a battery to supply the power of automatic fire, a cocking handle to create the pump effect of the shotgun , or gas to provide the semi-automatic firing or automatic fire of a handgun. The automatic electric gun or rifle (AEG) has a continuous fire of plastic BB's and the shotgun/sniper has the one cock, one shot deal (the shotgun has 3 simultaneous BB's spreading out when fired to provide the real steel shotgun blast effect). Airsoft is currently a huge sport in Japan (the inventors of the awesome sport and guns) and is slowly crawling out towards the U.S. to override the obsolete paintball sport and bring the future of gun sporting. Each member of the team has a purpose and a position in which they try to take out all the opponents on the other team in order to win. Positions are further explained in the Glossary Section and the people who take that position or place are also included in there. This site is to show people all over the world our awesome team that Scott, Tim, and Darren created.  All of the details of our team are further explained in the different section of the site. The Links Page also have sites of Airsoft containing info, retailing of guns and other great stuff you should know if you're planning on participating in this movement we call Airsoft. So go on and explore the site and if you want to leave a comment, there's the Guest Book to sign. Thanks.
