International Airsoft

I wonder if airsoft is played in other countries. I know it's no way as popular overseas as it is in the states (maybe except for canada lol). I wonder if the rules change based on region?
It would be cool if sort of an international-type tournament could be held...

Just a thought
hooah

Also airsoft was started in japan because until recently paintball was not allowed there. Also major events take place in poland, UK, and many other locations.; ▶ Reply to This

It's been around longer than paintball and i believe it started in either china or japan as police and swat training and spread out from there. I read a few articles about it awhile back i just wish i could remember them better; ▶ Reply to This
