WELCOME TO AIRSOFT
WHAT IS AIRSOFT?
Airsoft is a shooting discipline-based sport, played using airsoft replica weapons known legally as restricted airguns and commonly as airsoft guns. Airsoft is similar to paintball, but uses 6mm BB's (much less messy!). The sport is played either for competition or purely for fun in solo and team play events and we have massive amounts of fun doing it!
â
Palmerston North Airsoft Club (P.A.C.) runs games locally, and co-ordinates with other airsoft clubs for a wide variety of game types at locations all around New Zealand. P.A.C. is one of New Zealand’s older airsoft clubs, operating for over 20 years now.
P.A.C.’s main aim is to have fun, both as a group and as individuals. We get to learn new skills such as team-work, safe handling of our weaponry and meet new people from across New Zealand.

More great Information
