Four Main Rules of Firearms Safety
Before handling an airsoft gun or real firearm, remember, and remind those around you about these rules.

Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Please message the mods if something is broken or wrong.
