Rules of Shooting an Airsoft Shotgun
By Matt Razor

Airsoft is a great outdoor and indoor activity that everyone can enjoy playing but the most important aspect of having a fun game of Airsoft is the learning the rules of shooting an Airsoft gun. Improper use of an Airsoft gun can be deadly or cause serious bodily harm. This article will talk about the rules of shooting one of the most dangerous Airsoft weapon made available which is the Multi Shot Airsoft Shotgun. Why is the shotgun such a dangerous weapon in Airsoft, this is due to the fact that the Airsoft shotgun is mostly a close range firing weapon and the targetory of the BBs are spread far and wide; allowing it to potential hit unsuspecting opponents.

Here are some safeties shooting rules for Airsoft shotguns:

  1. Always treat every shotgun as if they are loaded. Don't trust that the other person even if you were the last person to handle the shotgun to be unloaded. Most shotgun injury occur when a individual "thought" a weapon was unloaded when they were not. Which bring me to my second rule.
  2. Never look down the barrel of an Airsoft shotgun or any Airsoft weapon. Always point the shotgun away from you toward the ground and never at a person. This will prevent injury to one self or another player if the gun just so happen to accidental fire.
  3. When firing a shotgun, it's best to avoid ricochet firing. Never shoot at hard surfaces like a wall or bunker that flat. Even shooting at water surfaces can cause the BBs to skip or ricochet to area you wouldn't aspect it to go. This is why is always good to look where you shoot or in other words "blind firing."
  4. Another key rule is keeping the muzzle of your Airsoft shotgun clear or debris. The best way to avoid having something stuck in the muzzle of your shotgun is to never allow the muzzle get in contact with the ground.
  5. Most important rule of shooting an Airsoft shotgun is to ALWAYS wear protective face gear, like goggles or full face mask. Shooting a shotgun is very unpredictable, BB's can fly all over the place so to insure your safety and under Airsoft player safety, everyone must wear their protective gear.
These rules of firing a Airsoft shotgun should be abide at all times. Once one of these rules are broken, someone or even yourself can be serious hurt. Like said previously, Airsoft is a great game ONLY if everyone of following the safety rules!
