All airsoft guns sold in the U.S. are shipped with a bright orange tip, although most players remove them. The orange tips make it harder for players to blend in with their surroundings during a game.

My 11-year-old has been bugging me all summer to talk his mother into letting him buy an Airsoft gun (I am, of course, an assumed yes). When I was a kid I had a BB gun, as did most of my friends.
