Honestly instead of an optic, I'd recommend a sling first. Generally you can just point shoot and be good enough when you're starting. But losing your replica because you got distracted when a buddy called you over and left it on the ground *somewhere* is not fun. Just a basic sling so you've got it attached to you any time you're on the field, or easier to move around off the field does wonders for your day out

[@kakuwave]

Also, get a GOOD sling and good mounting points. You don't want a bent ar15 like I do because your sling failed.

[@HamFlare_12345]

I have sling but i don't use it it's just annoying me lol.

[@24darush]

As a good optic, a sling helps you a lot handling your airsoft rifle. But there is one problem for a beginner: what shall I buy? One point, two point, three point sling? Where to fix to the gun? Luckywise, youtube and other internet platforms are full of tipps and tricks about all these issues, but: never believe only one source. Inform widely, ask other players, then buy quality. Buying cheap is buying twice. Remember: on airsoft-fields where you need a backup, you can't deal without a sling...

Medic boi just here to confirm ^- I've played airsoft for 3 years now. Most common injury are sprain ankles. Reason being ppl popping up in their sneakers.. Proper shoes w ankle support should be the first investment one does in airsoft. Next should be Eye pro- (dont buy cheap crap, and mesh goggles ever when it comes to saftey,)

Don't buy whatever's cheap and "military", especially surplus just to "look right". Buy good _modern_ hiking boots. Yes, good hiking boots can cost as much as your first rifle, but cheap shoes you're uncomfortable in and can't move in properly are more of a disadvantage than a cheap gun tbh. Good boots aren't only useful for playing airsoft, they can be great winter boots and, of course, hiking boots as well, you can already start investing in those even if you're only considering starting airsoft.

[@rileystar86]

one minor mistake I didn’t know or huge depending on outdoor or indoor is please stay hydrated you might not think of it but trust me as a military member/player water it very vital I’m not saying you should take some on battle ground but it definitely helps

went to my first game the other day with a friend, an indoor skirmish field, and had a bunch of fun. there were a bunch of veteran players with $2000 dollar kits and shit, but there was also a kid next to our setup table there with his mom who had never played before and he was telling her all the details on how to play, it was actually pretty cool to see someone a bit older there trying it out for the first time.

[@pimpster122]

The best start is a good out of the box gun. Good protective gear. Particularly for eyes, teeth, hands, and ears. (In that order). Good mid-cap magazines. A vest or chest rig to carry the mags (protection optional). An optic and protectors for the front and back of the optic. A sling, I wouldn’t recommend making a habit of putting your gun down. Quality BB’s (bio-degradable if playing outdoor, but recommended regardless). Good batteries and a good speed-loader. A good weapon light isn’t a bad idea either.

[@Kiboxxx]

A weapon light might be illegal in some countries (e.g. Germany)

[@pimpster122]

@@Kiboxxx Good call, in my home country lasers are prohibited. A light is nice, but if nobody can use one I suppose you aren’t losing as much by not being able to use one too.

[@Kiboxxx]

@@Marcos-eg9lt because it makes aiming easier or something. But don´t ask me why. It´s the law. Things that COULD be attached to a firearm and send a beam of light to the target are illegal.

As some one who has been playing nearly 20 years this is a fantastic video for people just getting into airsoft.

[@peterbaan9671]

BB weight is only applicable when you are not doing CQB and also you need to adhere to the rules of the field, which some times include max BB weight. Even for outside. Also, economy comes to mind as well, my stuff could hop anything up to .48, but I'm staying with .36, because it is enough. Sure, it may performing a bit less, but one have to factor in the human element as well. Also, with weight, price also goes up, but while weight is linear in this case price is exponential...

[@SgtStudder1]

Honestly most fields where I am are cqb. You don't need anything more than .20

[@peterbaan9671]

@@SgtStudder1 - Depends on how C is the cqb. I use .28 on 1J, so I have a bit of range before the BB starts to curve. Before that I used .25 and .20, but they weren't precise enough for my local cqb-place.

The original M4 does have one section of RIS, it's where if you take the carry handle off you can then put a Red Dot 🤷😁😁. Walking boots from Amazon or wherever for £50/£60(or your work boots if you're starting out in your first and second game to see if you like it before investing in more comfortable shoes), and a decent decent one or two point bungee sling for no more than £20 (get this before the boots) so then you won't be so tired carrying your primary around all day. Also just buying a pistol as your first gun and hiding with it for enemies to cross your path, or attempting to gain ground being stealthy to get closer to become in range with your pistol will teach you valuable skills 👌

[@e-games8035]

When I bought my first airsoft replica I got a red dot, flashlight and grip with it. I think those, together with a sling are the most important accecories you need on a rife, a red dot is obvious, the sling will make your weapon more comfortable to keep on you during games, when switching to your sidearm for example and the grip and flashlight go together. The flashlight is useful because more often than not when playing you will encounter dark spots, rooms or even tunnels. In those cases a flashlight is the most affordable option and the grip is an extra to keep your hand in the right place at all times

[@subsyairsoft]

Another cracking series of tips Josef! Thanks kindly!

[@thisisgamelord2421]

1 tip that was handy for me, are you mostly gonna play indoor or outdoor, I brought a M4 but I played mostly indoor and the M4 was to long so I had to buy a new smaller gun. Kept the M4 for outdoor games tho

[@romanglinnik8073]

My current no. 1 advice is to set priorities. I didn't realise right away that I prefer a light loadout for fast paced games. A lot of the extra that makes a look complete is not game relevant or can be DIYed for cheap (e.g. gun sling being a spare camera sling). I think every beginner should focus on building a base loadout that's reliable and modular.

[@TheNukedNacho]

I still think one of the beat ghillie suits is the urban camo/literal garbage camo. Its so clever.

I’m good for the boots as I’m a scout and have some really high quality boots already. Plus I’ve got about 7 months experience

I would say the right grip can be important. Holding the airsoft replica can get uncomfortable and having the correct grip or padding can take some strain off your arms.

Don't get a $40 spring rifle. Get an inexpensive aeg. Something $100-180. If you are hunkered behind a barrel shooting 1 per sec, and the guy is shooting at you with an inexpensive aeg at 30 p/sec, or an expensive at 60 p/s you won't have fun.

[@rhabeldibabeldi6812]

I really like what you said about the boots. I never understood what good footwear means till a few years ago. Before, I bought footwear that looked good or was cheap. But after getting some really good shoes (for me its haix, but that differs from person to person) I do not want to go back to bad footwear at all. Yes 200 € for boots might be expensive, but I have been wearing these boots nearly everyday for some years and they still are easy on my feet, even after walking/running for 10 hours straight

[@tatkoairsoft2146]

Nicely done. I would add to the point nr. 4 ... before spending any $$$ on your replica, learn how to properly Zero the sights and set the hop up. Honestly, these two things are the most undervalued things in general, while beeping the most important ones. I have lost the count of how many people are running around with misaligned sights and over hopped replicas while spewing out things about upgrades and such.

[@rubencampos6136]

What would be your advice on how to get the hop up properly set? I mean, i started playing last April, immediately i realized how hop up is really important. Thing is, the people i play with, including the owner of the store i bought my stuff, didn't bother explaining the basics. I own an AR15 16"2. In my country we have a power limit of 1.3 joules on replicas, which really can go up to like 380 fps tops. Given that, what range should my replica be able to reach, and what range should i be testing my hop up setting, so that i can zero my sight after? I have a really good optic, 4x max zoom, but i feel it's just overkill, since my replica is not accurate at that range.

At the moment it would seem as a perfect "jack of all trades" one if you would just need to go and get a single option - however everything I've seen online have WAY more saturated colors (which may be due to the fact that the video palette was adjusted a lot) and they look more out of place than the old woodland does ;)

You don't need super expensive boots my 2 favorite special forces guys who I watch did 6 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan in Merrell boots.

[@veetilappalainen6622]

i strongly disagree with the scope/dot being the best eccessory you need.. tbh you dont even need scopes just shoot and look where bb going

[@airsoft-explained-novritsch]

Yes, it is true that you can do without sights at all. My personal opinion is though that red dot should be first on the list. Even before you get spare mags because you can quickly reload with a speed loader (yes, I would buy a red dot and a speed loader if it doesn't come with the replica :D)

[@veetilappalainen6622]

@@airsoft-explained-novritsch I bought good red dot for my bizon but I rather have better view of my surroundings than blocky red dot in way of my view when I can shoot just as accure if not better without it. But hey everyone refers different :D

[@11Tits]

For a sniper i found a good scope can save you a lot of hassle. And seeing the singular bb and tracing it isnt easy. But a scope can help with it. What i say is go for a scope where you can adjust the magnification. Preferably 3x - 9x as 9x is just beyond what you will ever need but its nice to have

[@claudio6636]

Depends on where you are playing, some times where I played you couldn't see the bb's flying very well, some times due to small amounts of fog, but still, I think a red dot is not a necessity, but a very good improvement. (Also, there are many style of red dots or scopes that don't take much of your periferal view, even seen people running small pistol red dots on AR's for this reason, and apart from looking sick, I think that it could be a good middle ground)

Another recommendation I would make is, but a CYMA M4, honestly it’s well worth the investment, especially if you’re a beginner, where unless you have prior airsoft experience, having an idea or fantasies about how you play vs how well you actually play, can determine whether or not you want to continue playing airsoft or not as well as finding your role with what particular platforms you’re more comfortable with, such as myself who I like to play the role of either as a recon or marksman, due to my poor abilities and performances in collide quarters or even mid range situations having poor reflexes as well as not having a particularly aggressive personality, means that I enjoy being somewhat more at the back rather than in the thick of the fight so to speak, vs what I did was buy a sniper rifle, which to my disappointment, found out that I’m a terrible shot and generally unlucky or as my friends put it ((cursed)), such as when my friend was putting a battery in his gun and the thing ended up shooting me in the family jewels so to speak, or my alarmingly high friendly fire ratio now clocking in at 27, confirmed team kills and so on, that being said I can be a fairly decent shooter when I want to, however having access to a semi automatic weapon rather than the single shot sniper rifles tend to allow me a modicum of flexibility at the very least. And again considering that a CYMA m4 costs about a hundred dollars, it’s no real investment loss whatsoever, again unless you have a clear idea of what you’re aiming for or what your play style is like, then yeh it comes with everything a new player needs, battery, charger one or two magazines and the gun, other than that I would also highly recommend buying some decent high support boots,

[@SgtStudder1]

I have a cyma AK and a cyma m4 and they are both more than worth the $100 for standard guns. Platinum is cool but the sport and standard variants are solid af and easy to troubleshoot if anything stops working.

[@hadesdogs4366]

@@SgtStudder1 agreed Cyma really is the unsung underdog when it comes to the big name brands, like TM, G&G and Krytac, but in all honesty and seriousness, whilst I won’t lie that CYMA, does have a quality issue especially when compared to companies like TM, such as the polymer AK’s and cheapish internals, but apart from that, they are the ideal budget or starter player company, their products may be (( cheap)) but the internals are easy to maintain as well as even upgrade and are solidly reliable out of the box, and again for their price they’re ideal for both veteran and new players, since airsoft is also about skills, whilst the gun helps boost the player’s performance, as novrisch and many others have proven, is that a newbie with a springer M4 is more than capable of significantly less likely to kill an enemy player with the most expensive guns and equipment and yet still be killed by them, again as long as they’re decently well maintained then a Cyma gun would last you for years and for it’s price it shoots pretty decently from straight out of the box. Again TM is the go to and king of airsoft followed by G&G and krytac, in terms of the higher end guns, but it also depends on how much the individual is willing to pay I guess

[@britbongj]

There's some bias here due to the fact you are used to it now, your first few times will absolutely hurt, one of the most painful I had was getting shot right at the top of the hip bone, it bruised badly for weeks. But the pain isn't serious and the more you go the less it will matter. But don't expect it to tickle, and wear gloves!

[@sogerc1]

Get a sling, it's really uncomfirtable to hold on to the gun all day. Even a simple strap is better than nothing.

[@phantomstrikegamer84]

i have to disagree about the red dot. you can just track the bbs with your eyes. i would instead buy a sling or extra mags

[@smokezz9]

[@JAIJ47]

100% sling > red dot

[@POM4R4NC]

Only if you're an aeg player with hundreds of rounds in a single magazine. Real men play with low caps and actually use the gun properly.

[@facundocorradini]

4:40 I disagree. You can play all of your life without a red dot. But a flashlight is 100% needed whenever you're playing CQB, transitional, or field games

[@damyandimitrov611]

Indeed! I've been using iron sights for 5 years, but definitely needed flashlight in darker areas

Q: is novritsch going to release a hpa pouch?

don't skimp on eye pro..! for glasses wearers who can't wear contact lenses like me... Bolle Pilot Emergency googles are awesome... I've only been playing since December but I've not fogged once..!

Buy gear that is functional to your playstyle. Because most spend stupid amounts of money to look like an Operator only to find the weather wont allow you to wear most of it or because it hinders performance. Im all about Squeezing as much potential out of my ability and how i take on the battle, than how i "fit it" looks wise.

[@moderngentlemanschool]

Get great boots and thick hiking socks.

[@TankAirsoft13]

In my opinion the best and easiest way to get better is to play
