Airsoft in Denmark

Airsoft is an international sport. It is played all over the world. Airsoft in Denmark is not very different from airsoft around the globe in terms of aspirations and interests. There is speedsoft as well as milsim and everything in between. As a foreigner that wants to play airsoft, there are a handful of rules that are good to be aware of.

Formal rules

Protection

• Some fields prohibits glasses such as Wiley X and Oakley M. Frames. Classical goggles with a rubber frame as well as paintball masks are accepted.
• Mesh goggles are prohibited due to potential pellet fragmentation.
• It is illegal in Denmark to play without a mouth guard that covers your lips.

Joule and safety distances

All Danish fields operate with safety distances based on the kinetic power (joule) of your airsoft gun. The table below is for reference only as measuring the FPS or MPS and finding the corresponding joule is not considered a valid measurement. Instead you can ask a marshal to measure the kinetic power with a chronograph.

Membership of nationwide association

In Denmark we do not require individual airsofters to be a member of a nationwide association like the British UKARA nor do we require the fields are. Instead each field must have a valid insurance, which is among the requirements that is needed for a police approval.
