An airsoft gun fires soft plastic BBs that will leave a mark but are designed to bounce off the target — hence the name “Air SOFT”.
The ammunition they fire are called Pellets, so the school is calling them by the correct name.
And trust me these “Soft” pellets sting just as bad a a paint ball when they hit.
Wrong, pellet guns fire metal or lead pellets. Airsoft use only plastic BB's...
Big difference.
