Airsoft is a sport which is like paintball but uses more
realistic guns. The guns are mostly powered by electric
gearboxes and use 6mm plastic BB's which means that accuracy is
increased. Also due to the electricity, this reduces the overall
running costs of the guns - you don't need to buy gas for them.
Airsoft originated in Japan in the 1980's where there was an
interest in firearms but the law banned them, so companies began
making replica guns that fired plastic BB's. Early models were
gas powered, but soon switched to electricity. The guns and
sport slowly spread across Asia, Europe and America. The sport
consists usually of mock military operations, or games such as
Capture The Flag or Team Deathmatch.

The above websites are UK based and offer good guns, are
decently priced and have good after sales service.
I'd recommend either for purchasing a gun or accessories.
