Guide To Airsoft

Airsoft is a fun sport and this instructable will give you tips on playing this sport.


This is a picture of my FAMAS F1 Airsoft Gun

Statistics:
FPS: 450 fps
Mag. cap.: 350 bbs
Weight: 7 lbs.
Length: 24 in.

Step 1 Getting Started

First you will need to put together a group of friends and find a playing field. If there is already a group of people near you who have already started their airsoft team you can skip this part. You will also need to buy gear. A good way to start out is borrowing a gun. If you cant borrow a gun then just buy a cheap gun so you can lern the basics spring pistol will do. You can buy one of these pistols at your local super market.

Don't buy a supermarket gun because I saw one of them in a .99 cents store, bought it, and it broke ASAP. A good place is some Wal-Mart's, and of course flea markets.

[airsoft master 25]

all of wal-marts guns suck why would you buy them there

[Ajent00757]

yea i bought a gun from walmart and its a beast i pown

[Cartuner55]

dont get walmarts. They arent as good quality and most are clear. Try ShortyUSA.com (US only)

[joshfedo]

i would go with airsoftgi.com or evike.com

[pokerstud001]

Yeah, l love evike. Awesome quality spring pistols are super cheap, along with good rifles too. Got 95 bucks? Then you have a desert eagle spring pistol, spring rifle, and 10k .20g bb's :D

[smallman98]

Evike is an awesome website and they have an even better store.

[joshfedo]

yah and for 95 you can even get a kinda crapy aeg but hey its a aeg

[pokerstud001]

No, you can get a fairly decent AEG for that amount of money. Just have to choose the right one.

[bighead5454]

dude where did u get the FAMAS? and for how much they're awesome. and also shuld i get a 450fps sniper or two 290fps uzi that shoot 300 rds per min and hold 150 rds in each mag?

[Ajent00757]

u prob already decided but i recomend the uzi then u can have a nice auto sidarm/cqc gun and then save up for a better gun.

It's called a magazine, not a "clip".

[EpicZombie]

I know right? Only those little kids who like to play with nerf guns use "clip" instead of magazine.

[JamesTB13]

Technically, you're right. But clip is like a slang term, except it's used a lot more than magazine,....I just say Mag.......or clip.

clips are way diffrent

[JamesTB13]

....thanks for commenting 2 months after the fact, though, big help..
and noone cares, honestly, everyone knows what you mean, whether you say magazine or mag or clip, or my bullet holder thingy. it's just different terms for (essentially) the same thing. like calling a tissue Kleenex, it's not a Kleenex, it's a tissue, Kleenex is a brand of tissue.

[L_Dawg]

Calling a magazine a clip is nothing like calling a tissue a Kleenex, it's more like calling a cat, a dog. Or maybe more like calling a koala, a koala bear. Koalas aren't bears. Therefore, clips are not mags.

[JamesTB13]

A cat and dog are nothing alike. A koala IS CALLED a koala bear. And could you please, then, explain these apparent differences between a 'clip' and a 'mag' and a 'magazine'. Explain the differences using factual, citable sources, I dare you.

[L_Dawg]

But a koala is not a bear you see.

And you want proof?

Proof enough yet? Just searching "clip magazine" on Google brought up those results.

[JamesTB13]

OH MY, so, a clip is inserted into a magazine? And then the magazine feeds the rifle? Oh my god! The differences!

You see, the thing is, I don't use the term clip. I say mag, usually. Can we please stop this argument? Only the most anal-retentive people really care, everyone knows what you mean no matter what you call it.

Oh, by the way, nice job actually rising to my, umm,....call-out? I guess, even though it took you like 20 days.

[xXxMattThePossumxXx]

you mad?

[_-MacGyver-_]

Hey Look its a Famas!

[L_Dawg]

I wouldn't recommend using a ghillie suit unless you plan to stay stationary forever. Moving bushes are easy to spot. I wouldn't recommend starting out as a sniper either.

[yobwoc]

Scopes CAN be expensive. But at Evike.com, they have a deal where they will fit your gun with a legit scope with a 3-9 adjustable zoom, a 32mm front lense, and steel rings for it. If you find a bolt action sniper rifle with out this deal then the gun itself is probably not worth buying.

[bounty1012]

Where did you get your famas from?

[Robot Lover]

great ible 5* you should check out mine here

[Robot Lover]

i got a famas at walmart for 30 bucks but its plastic and is more like a low power sniper rifle without a bipod. it also breaks easily.

[Indeedly]

is the FAM-AS F1 a electric gun , and is it any good because I saw a web site with this gun and I was thinking of getting one I'M DESPERATE

[happybirthday]

Yea...It's electric...

[pooplord]

you are on of the few people who dont suck at airsoft on this website, there could have been a little more detail, but besides that good work

[jakee117]

sounds hypocritical, since I collaborated on an airsoft instructable...but there are too many guides, many from new players who are not knowledgeable....

[ManBearPigThing]

I am not exactly a new player I have been playing airsoft for around four years...

[jakee117]

im just saying, its good, and im not saying you're a new player, but put a little more effort into it please

[oniman7]

It was OK, but it seemed almost rushed. A lot of it was very basic stuff that you will find in any instructable, didn't offer a lot of hints, etc. etc. I felt like I could have thrown this together in 30 minutes. Try adding more information, personal advice, maybe some war stories.

[lemonie]

An Instructable is something you have made or done, and should have your pictures in it. There's good information in here, but it isn't showing anything you did or made - it's theory.

L

[ManBearPigThing]

You are right. None of the pictures are ones I took. But instructables are also guides. And this instructable is based on my own experiences playing airsoft.

[bighead5454]

well it is pretty hard to carry a camera into a battle and take steady pictures without getting shot

[lemonie]

I'm sure you could get people to pose for photos before you start. L

[ManBearPigThing]

That is a good idea I will try that next time and maybe edit this instructable.

[lemonie]

I'm sure you play with people who'd be happy to give you the shots you need (while showing off their stuff), maybe a few playing dead too? L
