ABOUT
Welcome to the fastest-growing extreme sport in Ireland!
Airsoft is a modern combat sport or recreational hobby in which participants eliminate opponents by hitting each other with spherical airsoft pellets launched from airsoft guns.
Participants typically employ the use of varying types of weapons designed as replicas of real firearms. Tactical gear and accessories are also used to enhance the game and mimic equipment used by modern military and police organizations. Airsoft was developed in Japan in the late 1970s to provide an alternative for gun hobbyists because local laws prevented individuals from privately owning firearms. A heavy emphasis was therefore placed on making accurate replicas of real firearms the sport quickly swept through Asia as the de-facto extreme sport growing to a level far surpassing the level reached by paintball in the US. In contrast, Paintball was developed in the United States in 1981 as a variation of hide and seek tag through the use of utility companies paint marking guns, which were used to mark power utility poles. Paintball gained popularity throughout the 80s and early 90s as models became more intricate and realistic. Airsoft made its way to the US in the early 90s and was received as a less expensive and more intense alternative to the costly sport of paintball. Since then Airsoft has quickly gained greater popularity over Paintball due to its realism. low cost of operation. ammo. reliability and intense gameplay.
Gameplay:
Airsoft is based on the honor system!
An honor system is employed whereby the players rely on each other's honesty to admit to being hit. Because unlike paintball the plastic pellets do not leave readily visible markings. Depending on the muzzle velocity of the gun and the distance from which a person is shooting the person on the receiving end of the shot will usually feel a slight pain in the area of impact.
What do I need to get started?
First and foremost you will need safety equipment!
We recommend using a full face ASTM rated safety mask to prevent injury.
You will need to select your primary weapon. Most players select their Rifle first as this will allow them to start playing right away.
There are three main types of Airsoft guns:
Automatic Electric Gun (AEG)
Gas Powered(Gas Blow Back and Gas Non Blow Back)
Springers.
*********************
RULES REGARDING HPA
Anyone entering with an HPA-powered weapon will have to have a comp lock and have it set at 1Joule or 328 FPS with one of our colored seal zip ties. If a player removes the lock and alters the FPS there won't be any warning you will be asked to leave the venue and will be banned from OcAirsoft Dublin.
According to Irish law, a firearm is defined as an Air Gun, including an air rifle, air pistol, or any other weapon incorporating a barrel from which any projectile can be discharged with a muzzle energy that is greater than one joule. Therefore, any airsoft gun that’s muzzle energy is 1 Joule or less is no longer classified as a firearm, so there is no license required for an airsoft gun. However, should it exceed the 1 Joule limit, it would now legally be classed as a firearm, and you can be prosecuted accordingly.

Airsoft in Ireland – FPS Limits, Airsoft is an international sport these days, with a wide range of different countries all having frequent players residing within their borders. However, with that in mind, it is important to realise that with a plethora of countries comes a plethora of different laws regarding the use and capabilities of airsoft guns, and while something may be legal in one country, it may not be in another.
Now you may be thinking, “why would this be an issue, I don’t plan on playing airsoft in any country other than my own”, and while this may be true, meaning you may think you may not have to worry about it, you have to remember that your specific airsoft gun may not be made in your country, or furthermore, you may be buying from a retailer out of your country. So taking this into account, it’s essential to make sure you know the laws, especially in Ireland.
Every country has a law in some same or form. In Ireland, it falls under the firearms section. The information in the firearms section can be hard to follow, so we have simplified it for you below. Airsoft guns have been legal in Ireland since the 2006 Criminal Justice Act. Airsoft guns are classed as RIFS (Realistic Imitation Firearm); they are a realistic copy of a firearm, so you can imagine the problems they can cause if you decide not to adhere to the law.
According to Irish law, a firearm is defined as an Air Gun, including an air rifle, air pistol or any other weapon incorporating a barrel from which any projectile can be discharged with a muzzle energy that is greater than one joule. Therefore, any airsoft gun that’s muzzle energy is 1 Joule or less is no longer classified as a firearm, so there is no license required for an airsoft gun. However, should it exceed the 1 Joule limit, it would now legally be classed as a firearm, and you can be prosecuted accordingly.
But what exactly is a 1 Joule limit? 1 Joule refers to the muzzle energy of a firearm. If an Airsoft RIF is above 1 Joule velocity, it is classified as an unlicensed firearm.
WHAT ARE JOULES?
A joule is a unit of measurement when measuring energy, typically used when referring to mechanics, electricity or thermal energy. By definition, It is equal to the energy transferred to an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force’s motion through a distance. Unlike FPS, which merely measures speed, joules actually measure the energy of a BB, taking into account the velocity and the mass.
WHAT IS FPS?
FPS – short for “Feet Per Second” is the rating used to determine the power of an Airsoft gun (Tagger). The FPS is the speed at which a BB exits the tagger. The higher the FPS, the more powerful the tagger, the greater the distance the BB will travel, and the more energy it contains. Thus, higher-powered taggers for hitting items far away and low-powered taggers for hitting things which are close. This speed is measured using a Chronograph Machine, a small device that measures the time it takes for a projectile to pass by its internal sensors. It uses the speed and weight of the BB to determine the FPS and energy rating.
