There is none, in Germany I think they refer to it as softair, everywhere else it's airsoft.

i remember reading that softair is a direct translation of airsoft in certain asian languages,

EDIT: taken from newbie thread
- Airsoft (a term coined by the original Japanese releases, literally "soft-air")

The literal Japanese translation is softair (I think)
