What is airsoft?
In short a sport/activity that involves 2 or more teams of players running around an arena Firing 6mm or 8mm 0.2-0.35g plastic balls at each other traveling at anywhere upto 350 feet per second for fully auto weapons. Most common arenas seem to be woodland but can also take place indoors, in an open environment or a combination of the three.
The rules are pretty much the same at all sites regarding hits, if you are hit by a BB (ballistic ball) anywhere on the body you are dead, although unlike paintball there is no immediate mark and is completely honor based. In short you get hit, you declare yourself dead this is known as calling your hits.
My best advice is listen to the marshalls for the rest.
Oh I wont say it doesn't hurt, although I do not recommend wearing so much clothing that you cannot feel your hits, it doesn't hurt that much.

Niesen out!!!!
i feel your pain on the empty wallet syndrome
I only have a forty-acre property that used to be a
tree farm.
for 80 bucks its a good deal
I would say try a few weapons out before deciding. you want something comfy and practical but i would recommend going for something alittle smaller
My only complaint. PLEASE for the love of God, stop calling airsoft guns "weapons". I know what you were saying, I understood, but the implication of the word weapon is not something we want associated with airsoft now is it? It just gives ammunition (lol!) to those who wish to ban it. They call them "weapons" and "incredibly dangerous" etc to spook the misinformed public into ignorant fear and hate. I have had people call them weapons and I immediately correct them. I get the same problem with my archery gear.
A weapon is a tool that is used to harm others. Your airsoft gun is only a weapon if you use it as such.
