The history of this sport has its roots in post-war Japan, which, after its surrender, was banned from having armed forces (except for self-defense forces), and the government of this country found an interesting way out - created accurate pneumatic copies of combat weapons that matched the weight of real prototypes, had the same rate of fire, and even had a similar assembly scheme. Ammunition in this weapon replaced 6 mm bullets made of lightweight plastic.

Over time, this occupation has grown into a form of leisure that has gained immense popularity around the world, thanks to its special realism and proximity to real combat.
