Airsoft History

Airsoft History

The history of "airsoft" originated in Japan during the mid-1970s due to the restrictions enforced by gun laws at the time. During this period, it was illegal for any individual living in the country to own a conventional firearm.




The first airsoft guns available were spring-powered replicas of firearms that fired 6mm or 8mm plastic BB pellets.




On the pictures is Takatoku SS9000 shell eject rifle made in 1976. This lever-action rifle with five rounds rotary type magazine shot the 'mushroom' bullets which were more popular and accurate at that time.
