Airsoft has never been known by the name "survival game" but I don't know if this makes "survival game" a wasei term or not.
Also, I'd go with "plastic" over "pigmented". They're not necessarily coloured.
All the kokugos have at least two senses so I think we should keep sense 2. Could maybe give it a better gloss.

GG5 & ルミナス have "survival game". 中辞典 has "a war game using air guns firing pigmented pellets". Daijirin has 3 senses, and doesn't say it's wasei.

  Comments:
A friend in Japan plays "サバゲ" and it's definitely paintball stuff a la 中辞典, which I gather is what "airsoft" means.
I suspect sense 2 can go, and perhaps the wasei flag could be replaced with "from survival game". The video game genre doesn't seem to apply here.
