I actually think its good that the younger 13/14 aged kids can play, It gives them a chance to learn gun SAFTEY at an early age, I knew a 13 year old kid in my church that found a loaded gun and took the magazine out of it and shot and killed his best friend because there was a round in the chamber, If airsoft was around back then and he had been involved in it ,it could have prevented this tradegy from happening. I shoot real guns with real bullets in real life competitions and this is one sport that if someone screws up you cant just say "im sorry".
