Lets face it guys airsoft is just modern LARPing with a little less gay.
airsoft: Dress up as a soldier, insurgent, angry civi, zombie, secret agent, ect. Wear combat boots and tac vests. Go out into a mock up battle field and shoot tiny plastic balls at each other.
LARP: Dress up as a Knight, orc, wizard, zombie, ninja, ect. Wear a replica armor and breastplates. Go into a mock fantasy setting and hit each other with plastic swords.
Ok sure so the diffrence is airsofters role play somthing that exists, but that really shouldnt matter, it is just playing a role and having some fun. A way to escape the norm. I mean I am in the CF but I prefere to play as a civie or some other role because cadpat and milsim (well not sim) IS the norm for me therefore I want somthing diffrent. Same for anyone not in a military who plays the role of somone who is. Just dont walk around in public in a uniform that you shouldnt be wearing.
