Why should you store your pistol in a case?

One of the most important safety considerations is the fact that many airsoft pistols are very realistic; in fact, some are virtually impossible the distinguish from a real firearm, so if you are moving them around in the open, you risk the chance of someone reporting you to the police and having armed officers responding to the call. So it's very important to always keep them out of public view in a case, whether you are walking to a game, on public transport or if you have it in your car.

Keeping your airsoft pistol in a hard case will stop any accidental discharges. If your pistol is not secured in a case, it can easily be knocked and could cause it to shoot unintentionally.

Lastly and most obviously, if you store your pistol in a good pistol case, it will protect it from breaking if you drop it, and it will also protect your pistol from scratches and other types of cosmetic damage.

The other type of foam is commonly known as wave foam or egg foam; this type of foam lining is ready to go and needs no work to be done to start using it and works by sandwiching your gun between the two layers of foam.
