These days people are not as connected with each other, especially within their neighborhoods. Old neighborhood sports such as football, basketball, and baseball still thrive in some areas, but they are certainly not as popular as they once were. However, airsoft may be the key to reuniting the communities of America. It is easy to get into, quick to start, and very exciting. Spring and electric pistols are cheap, and if one person does not have a gun they can easily borrow or rent one. Plus, it is easy to convince people to play airsoft because it is clearly fun, so you wont have a problem finding people to play with. Initially, if/when you are looking for people to play, you should definitely have two or three extra guns, which would sensibly be cheap spring pistols. With those, you do not need to think twice about lending them out, and it takes them awhile to exhaust even a dollars worth of BBs.

Depending on where you live, finding where to play can either be in walking distance or a short drive away. Forests are the best because you basically have the whole place to yourselves and the terrain is great. Make sure the forests are on public property and that you go in pretty deep so your presence is unknown to other people. Many airsoft guns are relatively quiet so if you are far enough into the forest nobody will hear you (although people hearing the sounds of airsoft will usually know it is airsoft or, more likely, think it is paintball). If you have doubts about your location, you can call your local police station and ask if where you are playing is alright, and it is generally good to tell the police you are playing anyway (make sure to call the station, not 911).

Unlike most sports, airsoft is not defined by number of players. Airsoft can be played one on one, or ten on ten. Even if there is an odd number of people, things can still be relatively even; for example, with a two on three game, one member of the two person team could have an electric gun (or just a better gun than the players on the other team). Since it does not take many people to play, games can start off small, and once other people start seeing how fun it is, they will want to join. Also, airsoft never gets old. Each game is always different, especially if you switch between terrains and/or guns. As more and more people join, games will get more complex and tactical, further adding to the dissimilarity between games.
