I know people have been starting to do alot of these airsoft guides, and I would like to help out.
I have been playing airsoft for the last couple of years, and I have picked up some pretty good strategies I will share with you.

Thing you will need

airsoft gun

mask (highly recommended)

airsoft bullets

and a field to play in

smoke bombs (optional)

airsoft grenades (optional)

and to go the extra mile you can even make a airsoft grenades and smoke bombs.

Step 1: Field

first step is the field, you will need a field that is at least two ackers for more than four people. And you will need BUNKERS or FOXHOLES anything that will hide you.

BUNKERS
I myself built bunkers out of fallen trees and old trash that was in the field that I play in

FOXHOLES
to build foxholes all you will need is a shovel, all you have to do is dig holes three feet deep and three feet wide. That you can sit in to hide from enemy fire and you can even build trenches to connect the foxholes

Step 2: GUNS

okay the next step is guns!!! the most important part, Your gun is your
life line you don't buy a good enough gun... you lose!!!

you don't take care of it... you lose!!!

if you want a realy good AEG, you will need to spend at least 150 dollars. anything under that mostlikly will not be a very good gun.

here are some brands to look into.
ICS
echo1
Tokyo Marui
KSC
Classic army
G&G
King Arms
Systema

so with that said, here are some good airsoft sites.

www.Kapowwe.com (highly recomended)

www.airsoftgi.com

www.airsplat.com

www.shortyusa.com

these are the sites that I have dealt with and www.kapowwe.com is by far the best...

Step 3: Gear

the next step is your gear. I usually carry a belt with pouches for ammo extra clips and a water bottle. I usually carry five thousand extra rounds with me at all times because you will never know when one of your teammates is going to need ammo.

....MASK....

WIRE MESH
the mask I use is a wire mesh mask (recomended for battle with guns under 400fps)

PAINTBALL MASK
if you are playing airsoft with guns over 400fps I recomend a sertified airsoft/paintball mask

ammo

to buy my gear I usually just go down to the local army surplus store they have all you need for dirt cheap

but some good places on the Internet are

www.airsoftgi.com

www.airsplat.com

www.Kapowwe.com

Step 4: Your Team

if you are sireous about airsoft you will need a team. my team consist of

captain (me)

sniper

support gunner

scout

and two rifle men

this is the basic team if you have more people find a place for them in your team. if you notice any special talents in your people make sure to put the into the spot that suites them best.
