Re: new starter

"The cost to hire an AEG for the day is just £15 + £20 returnable deposit against breakage or loss. Apart from the cash we'll need some proof of identity (a driving lisence, passport etc). Please do your best to arrive at least 30mins before the advertised start time to allow us to sort you out with your equipment.

All hire equipment (guns, clothing, etc.) must be booked in advance by contacting H and obtaining confirmation of your booking. Please only book if you're serious about coming, so we can ensure as many people as possible get a chance to play!"

Hope it all helps you

If your gonna buy a gun go first, you may not like it

Re: new starter

Try going a fair few times before buying your own kit / guns...

Get an idea of what you like first, then have a look round online and see what you like.

Also, ask the guys at your site if you can have a look at their guns, try it, hold it, see what you think ect...

Most, if not all players would be happy to let you have a look. It's an excellent way to 'try before you buy'.

Re: new starter

Yeah try renting first, and again most guys are more than happy to let you have a quick grope and squeeze of their AEGs, pistols etc etc. I know I certainly am. Also dont get blinded by others opinions on gear, go with what you want and what suits you. Before. If you decide you like it, then look around at whats available, what you like so on and so forth, dont say I wanna be a sniper, buy a sniper rifle and decide you hate it, its the addage try before you buy. Get to know people, most airsofters are a friendly bunch and are more than willing to help out where they can.

Excellent advise from all but nicely summed up as quoted.

Buy gear from reputable people listen to advice and cheap is not always cheap in the long run. I am pretty new myself and have found nearly everyone is a great laugh. Dont worry about asking advice as people will happily point out dead zones and walk you round your first few times.

Most importantly of all approach it with a mind to enjoy it, play fair and expect to get shot a lot with frequent trips to the dead zone until you know you way around and get a feel for each area. You will be in a team so listen to tactics and participate in objectives it will ensure you get action and have fun.

Its a great sport and is very addictive.

Have fun:D

Addictive is a understatement. Airsoft will be all you think about for the next few years.
