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 1: 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.

Have you ever heard of www.airrattle.com?

[camohilk091]

Would a pair of work gloves work for an airsoft war?

[umbrum47]

Tokyo mauri is very good as well

[hunter1125]

Airsplat is ok for lower end guns. I bought a UHC super 9 pro from there. The gun itself is not extremely accurate for a sniper, but it is quiet and durable. When it comes to AEGs however, airsplat is probably not your best choice unless you are buying a cheap beginner's gun. I believe it is ok to buy from Airsplat depending on what gun you are buying. If your budget is extremely high then buy from AirsoftGI or something. Hobbytron, on the otherhand...may be a poor choice. But please, can people stop the Airsplat hate? After being through dozens and dozens of games of airsoft in the woods, the things I bought from airsplat has never let me down.

if anyone thinks they can get by going cheap with airsoft, forget it. its not a cheap sport. if you want a cheap sport go play soccer or football or ping pong. airsoft IS NOT cheap (unless use use crap plastic spring pistols and shotguns)

[Johnhall44]

I use .357 rounds..........

[nickpkcin]

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!

\('o')/ So sorry I couldn't help it.

Nice write up though.

[wchbeast]

another great gun is the cm042 it is the more expensive ak model

[ryanminty]

i use my issued gear and i find that my combat boots and OG-107s that i use work just fine and ive had them for 5 years now theyve lasted airsoft, parade, field training exercises and just normal training

[Fear_The_Beard]

Which airsoft store would you reccomend getting your gear from? Nice guide, by the way

[sasquatchairsoft]

Based on personal experience, for guns I order from airsoft gi. For gear I order from dedicated gear sites. They are a bit pricey but you get higher quality gear

[hunter38]

Airaoft gi is not the way to go the way to go is airsplat because alot of people say there bad but half of them are just internet freaks and havent ever had a gun

[sasquatchairsoft]

Airsoft GI is the best site in my opinion. High quality gear, Decent prices, Fast shipping, and great customer service.

[Fear_The_Beard]

Thanks!

[wolfman97]

What kind of gun is that?

[sasquatchairsoft]

ARES Tavor

[ben12]

monster airsoft is the best site ive found but ive found as long as you go to the site and not the store hobbytron actually isnt terrible

[Ctholden]

Ear muffs if maskless if youve ever been shot in the aer god bless your heart

[$0m3_0n3]

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.

[Ctholden]

i dont becuz i use biodegraduble and that ruins them but plastic its competly personol choice i wil noy apoligiz fer mispeled werds
