Airsoft play employs an honor system whereby the players rely on each others' honesty to admit to being hit, because unlike paintballs, airsoft bbs do not leave visible marks on clothing.
The effect of a marking bb on the honor system is an addition to the game but does not remove "honor" from the game as it still remains with the player to choose whether or not to call his or her hits. Instead, it simply allows for verification when the need arises. For instance, depending on the muzzle velocity of the gun and distance from the shooter, the targeted player may not feel the impact. All airsoft players are expected to acknowledge being hit, even if they are in doubt, by shouting "I'm hit" loudly, and raising their hand or gun high and/or displaying a 'hit indicator' while walking back to the safe zone. Paintball style "speedball" games may include the aforementioned hit markers. A hit indicator can be either a bright-colored cloth during daytime or a blinker or mini-flashlight when in dim light or darkness.
*El Airsoft es un juego de Honor, lo que significa que la honestidad y responsabilidad debe reinar en cada uno de los integrantes, a diferencia del Paintball, el Airsoft no deja marcas ni signos visibles por el uso de balines plasticos. Por lo tanto cada jugador debe siempre decir la verdad y reconocer que ha sido alcanzado por el disparo.
