Don’t worry, here is something that you and airsofters around the world might want to be in...

… The Airsoft Showdown!

Sounds awesome, right? What’s even better is that when you join in the Airsoft Showdown, you also get to receive a prize if you win!

The Airsoft Showdown is simple – show your loadout photo and find out if other airsoft players such as readers of Popular Airsoft like it.  Now, others will be doing the same and beat your loadout so better make sure yours is really awesome. The loadout photo with the most number of likes at the end of a Showdown week wins the Showdown and gets the prize.

Many airsofters love showing their loadouts. Just check their Facebook and Instagram accounts, they do love telling their gear they use. Now, with the Airsoft Showdown, they get to go head-to-head in putting together awesome loadouts.
