A REAL airsoft guide

A REAL airsoft guide
Alright, so i'm really getting annoyed by all these 11 year olds going "Ohh go to airsplat or hobbytron! they're good!!!"
No. This is a real guide for the noobs/intermediates looking for some ACTUAL advice.
In this guide i will teach you some things i've picked up in the 2 years that I have been playing.
The picture IS ME! Now this was me one day with just a loadout that was comfortable. Not my normal US army loadout.

Step 1The essentials

The essentials
Alright, you dont need everything under the sun to be a good player. The items will go in order of importance.
First off you NEED a mask! DO NOT even think about going near a game without one. You can't get new eyes.
Second you will need a gun (Duh.) I recomend companies like G&G affordable sereis, The Airsoft GI G4 series, Echo 1, The good Cyma guns like the CYMA CM023 m14, some JG like the tactical ak47, and SRC.
Third you're gonna need ammo, I sugest golden ball because it is cheap and not low quality. DO NOT EVER buy ammo from Wal-Mart or any sporting goods store (Same goes for guns)
Fourth, youre gonna need some gear. Go to a local army surplus store, or an online one. Ebay is perfectly fine as long as you buy from a trusted seller. Or if you have the money to do so then buy your gear from an airsoft wesite, it is generally more expensive though. Starting off, i would recomend some good old woodland camo, a cheap load bearing vest (Or ALICE rig) and to start off, some cheap hiking boots.
And last of all you need a feild to play at, DO NOT play in your back yard or public places, that can get the cops called and you can get into alot of trouble.

I will go into depth about all of these items.

I used to use an AGM L96, but I now use a WE M1911 desert warrior with a carbine conversion kit as my primary. It works surprisingly well, but the mags are crazy expensive.

One of the only good guides, I myself am a professional Airsofter, And I'd like to compliment you on your well deciphered guide. This is the only one I've found that makes sense. Thank you!

Nov 9, 2011. 2:35 PMBlue Mullet says:
Hobbytron Sucks. Go to Airsoft Station, or Airsoft GI.

Random question, do you wash your bbs? I've read that some people wash golden ball bbs because they leave some residue on the hop up rubber.

Aug 9, 2011. 7:11 PMMolybdenum says:
I would tend to disagree with your recommendations for bb weights. >25s should be used all the way down to 300 fps, .2s should only be used for cqb (or if you can find them, quality .12s).
.28s should be used for anything above about 400, .3s at about 450ish. Once you get to 500+ you better be using .4s at least.
