In Norway you cannot be "alone" on the airsoft range (or any other activities that involve firearms) before you are over 18 (or 16 within given criteria.)
Gabriel is 11 in this video, now 12, and my son.
When you have NASF (Norwegian airsoft association) games, it is from 16 years and upwards, and new rules from this year is 14 with a parent/guardian.
This is not a game organized by the NASF club.
But I, as a guardian, I am with him all the time, and I can intervene if necessary. It is also why I don't go when hit by fellow players. I have to wait for him (and he for me).
He has already had a lot of training at home with target shooting, "ipsc" and such. He has also looked at games on the field on several occasions (with full protection of course and a yellow vest taking pictures) and he already knows the basic rules.
In order for such young players to be able to play, dedicated parents are needed, in the same way as what is required if a 10-year-old is to start practical shooting with real guns, e.g. I believe that we can change the rules regarding the lower limit in Norway, more like e.g. practical shooting. BUT this REQUIRES that the parent/guardian themselves are the ones who are there and take 110% responsibility for the child, and that the parents themselves have expertise in airsoft. Let the kids shoot as soon as they are able to.
It is important to let them get the feel for a safe hobby so that they do not start dangerous activities such as football 😁
