1 July, 2011, 23:04
Hi guys
Im taking my nephew next week to his first time airsofting, ive been once and i know the basics and what to expect.
The guys i go with are really good and know the score and are experienced

Some basic don from a surplus will do for clothing, some decent boots that give ankle support (hiking boots will be fine). Somebody will lend you eye protection they are the main areas covered. Only simple things like taking lots of water as with the weather being like it is at the moment a dull day could turn into a scorcher. Apart from that just have fun. Make sure he understands the rules completely, I know some rule briefings can be a little rushed.

be honest and enjoy it to the max!
Just emphasise how important the safety rules are

Let him watch Rambo a couple of hours prior to going?
Joking aside eye protection and rule following, can't go wrong after that (:

Re: best advice for a new player?
make sure he understands the safety rules. As other posters have said some gloves worse place to get shot is on the hands or finger tips good eye protection I would think that due to his age the site would require a full facemask? Id tell him to enjoy his self and to have fun cause thats what its all about at the end of the day.
