Many LE departments and Military units are turning to airsoft for an effective, low cost, and safe means of force-on-force training. Airsoft Arms has assisted numerous military and police agencies nationwide in using airsoft guns for training.

Why Airsoft?

• Airsoft lets you Train Harder.
• Airsoft is Considerably Safer.
• Airsoft keeps your budget In Check.

Train Harder

Airsoft guns are extremely realistic replicas of their real life counterparts, and most even operate in an identical manner.

Low-impact projectiles allow your team to train anywhere - schools, businesses, airplanes, you name it. Training in real-life environments condition your team to deal with real life situations.

Inexpensive ammo lets you train more frequently and repeat drills dozens of time in each session with minimal budgetary impact.

Minimal protective equipment required, allowing your team to train with your actual duty gear and equipment.

Pinpoint accuracy in close quarter combat (~50 ft), while still out-shooting most competing platforms (e.g. paintball or Simunition™) in longer ranges in terms of accuracy and flat trajectory.

Durable metal construction designed to withstand unforgiving training conditions and environments.

Train Safer

Airsoft guns deliver very low impact energy (below 2 joules), only a fraction of the competition.

The entire platform is built from the ground up as a training tool, thus no internal parts (including magazines) are interchangeable with a real weapon. Therefore, it is impossible to chamber live ammunition in an airsoft gun.

Every airsoft gun comes with a visual indicator to prevent confusion with live firearms.

Train Cheaper

Airsoft guns offer a very attractive initial acquisition cost, with the lowest operating cost in the industry. Unbeatable total cost of ownership.

Low energy projectiles minimize liability to both trainees, instructors, by-standers, as well as property owners.

Proven technology and high durability means minimal down-times and very low maintenance costs for the life of the airsoft training weapon.

1. Trajectory is not flat with visible and considerable bullet-drop.
2. Ammunition is very sensitive to humidity and temperature, heavily affecting repeatability.
3. Most airsoft rifles can be shipped as regular cargo either via ground or air shipments, where CO2 cylinders can only be ground shipped, and Simunition weapons must be shipped as firearms.
4. Cost of donor weapon plus conversion kit.
