The wonderful world of airsofting is very confussing sometimes. I will not use EVERY little abreviation for every little gun. I will give you all of the information in CATAGORIES. All you really need to aisoft is a gun, some camo and a few friends. If you want to go for realism or are going against veterains, you might want to get a vest and another weapon with a TON of ammo to spare. I know from experience that running out of ammo when your friend has an automatic is NOT FUN. You might want to get boots too if you are playing in a swampy area. I where boots all the time because I don't want to get my $65 dollar DC's muddy. The pictures below are of some of the stuff i use. (I don't have my primary AEG posted because i need to get it back from a friend, the secondary is a cheap Colt 1911)

Technically, camping saves lives. Anyone that you play with who runs out onto the field pall-mall is gonna get creamed. Kids who play use no strategy.
SIMPLE STRATEGY:
Mr. Sniper camps. He has a bud, most people call it a "spotter".
Mr. Akimbo is stealth. No springs, no clicks, just kills.
Mr. AEG sits in the nest. With his bros. Don't go near them unless you have armor.
Mr. Heavy Weapons Can do whatever the F*** he wants to, he has heavy weapons.
Mr. Wimpistols sits up on the ledge, wondering why he was the first out.
And Mr. Asplosion should go with Akimbo Bro. Akimbo misses, Asploder tosses a 'nade. BOOM. A'splosion. Dead. Simple as 'dat.

Camping is like sniping without a sniper.

We laughed at a friend with a 50$ sniper. He simply owned us.

I dont think its a real good gun until its full metal. otherwise you cant really be too rough.

blind firing is fair game its not cheating andping blank i dont ask questions i shoot em with a pistol no heads up better than an assult rifle in the back
Guardians38 says: Feb 9, 2009. 6:36 AM
yeah... there is a person that lives on my street and we used to play with him. ok we play surrender so this guy has a like 5$ spring pistol is goes like 150fps but almost 6 people with AEGs couldn't take him down so we would get killed by loss of ammo... sad isn't it?
Air_Assassin in reply to Guardians38Feb 28, 2011. 3:45 PM

kve23 in reply to Guardians38Feb 7, 2011. 7:34 PM

eye protection? whit sunglasses? sory but use real protection not something like keeping bible in your pants
gorillailla202 says: Aug 13, 2009. 4:52 PM
Well, I agree with the no pistol whipping. I had a friend run up on me and hit me with the but of a shot gun... Not fun.
yeolddingdong in reply to gorillailla202Dec 26, 2009. 3:10 AM

Ride4jesus in reply to yeolddingdongOct 20, 2010. 7:18 PM
Not true, I played with a 250 fps spring pistol against three guys; two with full auto 300 fps AEGs and another with a high velocity spring pistol.

Skin spilting. When you swing a peice of plastic like a baseball bat its not just gonna leave a welt.
