First you need to choose weather you want to be a sniper, assault, rifleman,gunner, or shotgunner.


as a new player i recomend an all around semi and full assault rifle.

When a non-sniper claims to be over 400 FPS, that's usually an indicator that it's junk. I'd recommend this:

While the Walmart/Sporting Goods Store BB's are way cheaper and can come with a ton of BB's, the quality of those BB's are not the best and may jam you $150+ AEG. Yes, you don't need to buy $30 Matrix Seamless BB's for a lower end spring pistol or shotgun, but if you plan on getting the maximum performance out of you sniper or AEG, try and buy the higher quality BB's off of websites such as Airsoft GI and Evike.

Yes but dont buy online with shipping its not worth it buy at a sporting goods store or an airsoft fields proshop not at walmart!

I can most definitely agree with you on buying BB's at fields. It's too bad that my field is 2 hours away. Surprisingly, I have never paid for shipping when it comes to airsoft. I always make sure to buy enough BB's to last me until I need to make another airsoft purchase which usually ends up being over $100 so I get free shipping.
