gathered some info about why other girls
love playing.
Many of the girls said that they play
airsoft with their other halves and that, while
originally sceptical, found they love the
adrenaline rush that getting a kill gives you.
Others have commented on the fact that it’s
a great way to keep fit – and what’s more
you don’t even notice the exercise because
you’re having too much fun.
Whatever your reasons, I highly
recommend airsoft for girls everywhere. If
you’ve not played before get your man to
take you along to the next event… and then
shoot him… twice… even if he’s on your
side! ■
My gun of choice is the L96 sniper rifle.
Mine used to belong to my other half (until
I stole it) but I still normally use my MP5
– the L96 is mostly used as a special treat
(headshots are my speciality).
So why do I play airsoft? I have so much
on my plate during the week, from looking
after the kids to the cooking and cleaning
and, on top of all this, like many other
women I hold down a full-time job. Why
should our men get the easy stuff to do at
home, and then get to spend the weekends
having all the fun? Why can’t we join in?
Well, we can!
I’m a full-time teacher at secondary level,
so you can probably imagine the stresses

I deal with on a daily basis.
Since I began playing airsoft
I’ve found that whatever
stresses I have to deal with
during the week seem to fade
away when I’m shooting the
hell out of the guys and girls on
the opposing team. It’s like my
personal haven: dressing up
as a soldier and forgetting that
the kids at school exist for the
weekend helps keep me sane.
After chatting to some
other female airsofters and
contacting the National Airsoft
Girls (NAG) members, I have
