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.
Basic Membership
The basic membership requirements are:
a. Be 14 years of age at the date of application
b. Completion of the P.A.C. Application for Membership form
c. Completion of P.A.C. Waiver form
d. Completion of the probationary period (typically x3 P.A.C. games)

More information on participation ages and restrictions around ages and the use of a restricted airsoft weapon is found in the P.A.C. 'Information Booklet'.
Note: Members of any recognised affiliated airsoft club have the same limits and benefits of a full P.A.C. member.
Non Members
You can sign up for games via a 'day membership’ where the club will allow you to access club gear to enable you to play.
Players 16 and under will have to be accompanied by non-playing supervisor/parent/senior club member. This also applies to ages 16 to 18 unless they have a firearms license). If you are 18 years of age and over, you do not need a firearms license. A person using 'day memberships' in which to play is still restricted to the clubs CQB class until they come off a probationary period of 3 games or so which will allow the club to assess conduct etc. New players will need to bring with them ID for proof of age and fill out a player form on the day. If you have your own gear, you may use it so long as it meets CQB limits also.
More great Information
The P.A.C. 'Information Booklet' is designed to give you a bit of a heads up when it comes to rules, airsoft weapon replicas, and general safety.
Some information pre-dates some recent Firearms law changes, which as we mentioned, we are working our way through. Once that new information becomes available, we will update our booklet to reflect those changes.
But have a read!
