Thanks for the quiz!

Paintball is also a sport where non-lethal projectiles are shot at opponents, and was not invented in Japan. It would be nice if the question were phrased to make this more specific to Airsoft, like describing the projectile or the mock weapons used.

Aircraft carriers were not, as far as I can tell, invented in Japan.
