Age limit on playing airsoft

[ABC1972]

Hej,

My son aged 12 years has been asking about playing airsoft. I was reading that there is a age restriction and one has to be 18 years to own a airsoft gun. Does this age restriction also apply to playing airsoft? Is a 12 year old allowed to use an airsoft gun?

Mvh

Hej,

The answer is easy. NO, a 12 year old is not allowed to play an airsoftgame in Sweden. Read this:

Like a hostage, photographer or something like that. A great opertunity to study how people play, what to do or not to do and so on.

Hi,

It also depends on what you mean by use:
* No he is not allowed to use one unsupervised by an adult.
* Yes he can do target shooting at a range as long as a grownup stays within arms length and can take the gun from him if needed.
* No he can not play airsoft games with a airsoft gun as it is more or less impossible for a grownup to effectively stay in control during a game.
