Replica firearms propelled by compressed air, firing spherical plastic projectiles, are employed in recreational shooting activities, often simulating military or law enforcement scenarios. These projectiles are aimed at designated objects or areas, designed specifically for safe and controlled practice. Examples include humanoid silhouettes, reactive steel plates, and knockdown targets.
These activities provide opportunities for skill development, strategic thinking, and team building. The controlled environment offers a safe platform to practice marksmanship, improve reaction times, and understand tactical maneuvers. Historically, these tools and practices evolved from recreational shooting activities and gained popularity as a distinct sport.
