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)
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.
