My dad thinks airsoft bb's hurt. How do i tell him they don't hurt and how can i make him let me have airsoft wars?
Alright i had the same problem when i was 12 but i convinced my parents. First of all you have to right up a convincing speech with facts and information about airsoft and why it isnt dangerous. Here is how you should start:
Dad, airsofting is a very safe and fun hobby. I don't know why you won't let me airsoft with my friends but let me tell you why I should be able to. First of all i would wear a full face mask (you should buy one if you dont have one already) so there is no way somebody can shoot me in the face and it hurt. I would also wear protective gear on like thick jeans and two top layers- a shirt and a sweatshirt. My friends guns are all very weak and i probably will be called a cheater when i get shot because i wont even feel a thing. My friends all have guns that shoot at 200 fps and thats a very low fps for airsoft guns. Dad all you have to do is trust me and i will come home with not one bruise. Also, you have to let me grow up one day. I mean are you never going to let me airsoft because if youre going to let me airsoft ever what is the difference of doing it now and in 2 or 3 years. There is no difference at all so you should just let me airsoft now. I really like airsofting and hope you will cope with me. Thanks and I love you.
I don't really know how youre parents would respond to that but give it a try. It worked for my parents but also btw offer your parents that you and your friends will pick up all the bbs shot if your airsofting at your house.( you just have to convince him right now so you just have to pick up a couple of bbs and it will be fine, trust me).
Hope I helped and have fun airsofting!

Airsoft bb's hurt. They don't hurt that much, but they hurt nonetheless.
I doubt there's a way to convince him.

try shooting yourself in the arm in front of him to prove it doesnt hurt, and tell him you will wear goggles or safety glasses when using them, say its safer then paintball!

the pellets hit hard enough to shatter prescription glasses - that's hard
if you don't follow guidelines (distance from target, protective gear0 you are going to get hurt.
Even being careful, you will get bruises

tell him getting bruises and giving bruises is the fun part about air soft and paintball but you might need to get some goggles or eye protection. and bruises wont kill you

Just get one of your friends to show a really weak gun and tell him you will use eye safety
