Step 1: What to wear while playing.

You usually will want to wear something that will blend in with your surroundings such as in an urban enviroment you would want to wear some sort of tactical style clothing.For example if you were in a forrest enviroments you would wear a ghille suit(optional) but well worth it.

The heavier the bb is does not effect the quality.

a lighter bb will shoot with more fps but less accuracy than a heavy bb.

this is why snipers use 20 - 25+ .g bb's

[Aron313]

It makes fps get higher if you have a powerful gun. Try throwing a tennis ball then see if you can a paper ball farther!

[littl3d00d]

it does effect the quality

[Molybdenum]

If your using anything lighter than a .3, you will be unlikely to get anywhere near "sniper" ranges.

[mcguyver123]

12.grams are still a negatory less using grenades or walmart gun. use high grade 20s at the lowest

[taz2020]

I'm almost certain I've never seen a poorly made 20g. BB but there's more air in a 12g. BB which could break more easily in your gun... But your right the heavier BB will not affect BB just how it's made and heavier BB's are made with more precision usualy.

[Molybdenum]

Elite .2s good bbs for accuracy? If its lighter than .25, Its not gonna shoot particularly well (unless your shooting like .3j). Try Bioval .27s.

playing out in the open w/ high quality guns is dangerous. they can be mistaken as real guns. only play airsoft at designated fields or in secluded locations

[taz2020]

They could be, but as long as you keep the orange tips on your guns you should be fine.

[then]

even then people call cops, get mad, etc. though it doesnt have to be a designated field, you should try and avoid playing near public areas.

ive had people call the cops on me and my freinds even when we were out near this one little oasis kind of thing where we had dug a trench, and some people got mad called the cops and told us some guy owned the land and we were tresspassing, when really, the local judge who is my freind's dad, said the city owned the property.

So yeah, and you dont have to keep the orange tips on, even in public, though, like i said, avoid the public

My friends and I are getting pretty extreme into airsoft so I was wondering what should I bring for a match that lasts 2days and one night what equipment should I bring into the match

[mcguyver123]

im just gonna list what would be prefered, ive played alot of over night games so here is my input

gear: you can get surplus allice gear cheap, and it works amazing
pistol belt w/ suspenders or what i use an lbv
ammo pouch(es) to hold magazines
canteen or hydration pack
butt pack/ utility pouch, can have a satchel bag (any bag to hold equipment not needed in direct combat situations, like extra bbs, map, extra socks, etc)
$60-80

camo uniform or cargo pants w/ tshirt
$20-$30 (shouldnt cost more than that, if it does its a rip)

military grade boots (blouse your trousers, aka, tuck your uniform pants into boots) you can get some cheap jungle boots for 20 bucks and they are the most comfortable inexpensive boots ive owned. i now have a pair of desert issue that are pretty much the same :P but tucking your trousers makes sure nothing will creep into ur pants, no dirt in your pants, no wet lower legs, and pretty much...the best idea for you. btw, get socks thatll fit under them.
$20-$30

bring a hat!
(should have one)

knee pads are nice. make sure they are a flat color and not shiny or glossy
$10-20

gloves, trust me youll be happy you have some, work gloves do fine
$3-10

and last but not least your weapon. go for an m4 or ak as your starting weapon. i love the m4 because its comfortable. you can find one for $155-$200. some are sold w/out battery like the g&g but that can be a good thing.buy a 9.6v thatll fit in your weapon.
$180
on another note: my first event i used a trishot shotgun, the whole time i wish i had an automatic. so ur gun is the most important part of ur gear

have fun

[RMConstruction]

The section on which guns to get could be misleading to new players, making them assume that all pistols are gas, all snipers are spring powered and all MP5's are AEG's.

[taz2020]

I saw your lever action knex gun its nice!

[taz2020]

Fixed it....

[taz2020]

I will fix that sorry...
