Speedsoft has established itself as one of the most dynamic airsoft disciplines, combining high rates of fire, rapid movement, and short, intense games. This guide covers the basics of the discipline and recommended equipment to get started.
What is speedsoft?
Speedsoft is generally played indoors or on compact fields, with rules that favor quick engagement over mil-sim or long tactical simulation. Games are short, the rate of fire is more permissive, and the equipment is lighter than classic CQB.
Recommended replicas
The AAP-01 has become a preferred base for speedsoft due to its compactness and dedicated parts ecosystem. Our Patriot and Chimera builds cover entry-level and high-end speedsoft respectively. The Hi-Capa remains a solid alternative for players who prioritize raw firing power.
Recommended personal equipment
A lightweight vest like a JPC and thin gloves like Mechanix complete the ideal equipment, always prioritizing mobility over storage capacity.
Safety and eye protection
The higher rate of fire in speedsoft makes eye and face protection even more essential: never compromise on a certified mask or goggles, regardless of your experience level.
AAP-01 "Patriot" — Entry-level speedsoft
Ready-to-play, reinforced hammer kit, starting from €390.

Does speedsoft require specific equipment?
Lighter equipment and a reliable replica for a high rate of fire are recommended, without requiring complex gear to start.
AAP-01 or Hi-Capa to start speedsoft?
The AAP-01 offers a better price/precision ratio to start, the Hi-Capa favors raw firing power at a generally higher budget.
