A Maskgun is a unique airsoft device that can be used to spray an individual, or an entire group of individuals, with a foam composition, that when sprayed acts as a sound maker. The idea of the game is to shoot at the foam target, and avoid the splash of the foam onto others who are in the game. There are several different versions of the game available for download from different websites on the internet. For people who want to experience a bit more realism when playing this type of game, the download software available can be used to create the sounds and the environment that the user sees in the game.
To download the software one will need to have an internet connection, a computer and a printer. Once the application is downloaded to one's computer, it can be used by connecting the earphone to the microphone that is provided with the application. With the headphones connected, the player will be able to hear the target being shot at and by using the same application, one will also be able to hear the frequency that is being produced by the gun, and this will allow the user to be able to play the game according to the level that is being completed. It should be noted that the application does not require any additional accessories in order to be installed and used, and the printer that is used to create the target is needed only for the final step of the process. The entire process can be completed within a couple of minutes, and if more than one player is participating, the entire activity can be completed in about thirty minutes time.
The free demo version of the game that can be accessed allows users to try out the game for around ten minutes, after which the user will be able to download the software. This will also work in that the user will be able to find the controls for the hand held gun and the actual weapon that will be used during the free trial. However, the free demo is limited to a maximum of one user and can be a trial only; the real game will require at least two players.
