Airsoft is an endeavor that is used for recreation or military training and is similar to paintball. Paintball as you may be aware fires pellets from a special paintball gun which paints or stains a color on the clothing of the individual who is struck while airsoft pellets do not color the attire of the one who is smacked.

Airsoft war can be seen as being really close to tactical videogames such as the popular Counter-Strike or Call of Duty where teams compete against each other in an assortment of settings including Capture the Flag and bombing scenes. As airsoft is designed to be practical the weapons used are just about the same as real weapons in overall sizes and even in the amount of bullets per clip if you so wish. Though you may be able to find some paintball guns that are somewhat real-looking in dimensions often the weight and number of rounds that are available for paintball is what made it more likable and realistic for people. Whereas airsoft, though done by people is additionally the choice of police and military personnel for simulations and training.

Due to the fact that it is an activity not restricted to military personnel the sole difference between military and civilian airsoft is that different terms have been used for the different sorts of activities done in the game.

For realistic simulated events where tactical maneuvers, military attire, real or restricted ammunition are used and military or police personnel train, the term used is MilSim which is short for Military Simulation. Another term used is "skirmish" or "open day" where realism is usually put aside and allowances are made for things like high-capacity magazines and the use of any kind of camouflage attire is permitted. Another modification to airsoft war is dubbed Live Action Role Playing or LARP for short where additional rules are put in to make the setting somewhat alike to the videogames where rules about the number of hits to eliminate an opponent, armor and even more unrealistic enhancements like supernatural powers are endowed upon players.

Since airsoft pellets do not paint the target, players must depend on an honor-based system where the person who is shot will say that he or she has been shot and then move from the battlefield back to the safe zone. In order to keep from being shot by other players, the one that is moving back to the safe zone will typically take a flag, flashlight or beacon to say that he or she is no longer a part of the game or hold his/her weapon up over their head.

Airsoft pellets unlike other pellets additionally have bio-degradable types that can be used if players so choose. These bio-degradable rounds are intended to have little impact on the environment as opposed to the traditional plastic rounds which may be troublesome to pick up after a few rounds are played.

As airsoft war is close to tactical first-person shooter videogames it is often played by players of these games who wish to test their skills in real life, and because a similar environment to the ones in the videogames is what they desire to take part in these players and their teams may opt to play with Live Action Role Playing rules.

First Person Shooter or FPS videogames typically have a melee weapon that can be used to stealthily kill an opponent from behind or whenever your opponent's life points may be low; it has a similar melee rule with knifing where rubber or toy knives are used.

The name Aztec Macuahuitl Sword is sort of a misnomer. It's more of a Battle Weapon that is shaped kind of like a wooden sword but not exactly like one. They have prismatic blades that are made with obsidian. Prismatic Blades are long and narrow with parallel margins. These Prismatic Blades are all up and down the weapon, and would cause very deep lascerating cuts in battle. Obsidian is a type of Volcanic Glass that is formed into a hardened rock. Obsidian was often used to make tools by the early Aztecs.

This weapon typically had 10 blades, 5 columns and 2 rows. Think of a circular pole with one blade on each end, the 5 vertically in the same place to give you an idea of how this weapon was constructed. The Aztec Military regime of the 16th century and other factions of central Mexico used this weapon frequently. This weapon is also commonly referred to as a sword or club, but it's not truly equivalent to a European Weapon of a similar type.

The Aztec Macuahuitl Sword is about 3-4 feet in length, and about 3 inches in diameter.

The sharpened pieces of Obsidian were held in place by an adhesive compound. Sometimes the rows of Obsidian Blades were placed perfectly uniform, but on some weapons they were random and didn't adhere to a perfect pattern. Some of these Battle Weapons had one handed grips, and others had two handed grips and were made to be used with both hands.

Some of the two handed Aztec Macuahuitl Swords were as long as a man standing up. The Macuahuitl was sharp enough to cut off a mans head. Rumor has it that one could even take off the head of a horse. So in all retrospect this weapon was as powerful as any sword. The drawback of using one was that it took longer to swing the club than it did to deliver a thrust or swing with the sword. Aztec Warriors had to spread out in Battle Formations since they needed more room to swing the weapon.

The last known Authentic Aztec Macuahuitl Sword was destroyed in 1884. There could be a few more out there passed down by geneaology, but it's not public knowledge.
