Here at Patrol Base we don't really like the term BB guns, because a 'BB gun' can point to a wide range of items, such as high powered Air Pistols, or Break Action Rifles, we sell Airsoft Realistic Imitation Firearms, which are designed to fire 6mm Plastic BBs to be used in Airsoft Games and Skirmishes. If you’re a fan of video games, this is as close as you’re going to get!

When people think BB Gun, they also think cheap and easy to break, well, Airsoft is the opposite of that. Though Airsoft Replicas might be slightly more expensive than you might be used to, the quality is leaps and bounds ahead of some of the 'Blackpool and Scarborough specials'. The reloads feel nice, the magazines are more realistic, they're more sturdy, they're just better.

Throw away those cheap nasty 0.12g Yellow Plastic Fantastic BB with seams around the outside and grab yourself some highly polished, expertly manufactured 0.20g and above Airsoft BBs, which are specifically designed to high quality standards to keep them more stable in the air.

When it comes to range and accuracy, typically Airsoft Replicas are leaps and bounds over BB gun, allowing you to hit targets from even further away, with greater accuracy. In addition, most Airsoft Replicas are 1:1 scale, they're the same size as the real thing. Simply put: they look the part, unlike a lot of BB guns which are created at a two-thirds scale (2:3) which make you look like you’ve got big hands.

The great thing about Airsoft is also that not only are you getting a bit of kit which is way ahead in standards of any BB Gun, but you're also joining a community. Throw yourself into an Airsoft Game, where you and your team will battle to victory, and make your own battle story right there in the gaming field. There are thousands of Airsoft Players around the country that gear up every weekend, go out to their local game site and shoot each other just for fun, and they're always happy to meet new players!

Throw away those back yard plinkers, and join in the real fun, where you can hunt the smartest apex predator known to man: the human (within the confines of a safe and fun environment of course!).
