Hey man, I know this comment is pretty late, but that is for a reason. I wanted to get into airsoft after watching youtubers play. It looked so fun but I had no idea how to even start. I watched this video, went out to buy a $100 gun and some glasses, and went to an indoor arena. It was so much fun! I have since went to large milsims in different states and such. I was scrolling on youtube again today and saw this video, and I was reminded of when I first started. So I just wanted to say thank you sir, for making this video and getting so many people, me included, into airsoft!

Bayley Anderson this video is about air soft but this story is about paintball. Always get gloves.

It was a stinging nettle

[@auseyrobnett8942]

Only item you neglected to mention is hydration. This might be my experience given that I’m in a bit of a drier region, but I’d say the most common injury I see (aside from the ankle injuries you mentioned) are heat casualties. A camelbak, a canteen you can carry on the field (so with a pouch) something like that can keep you running on the field and enjoying the day instead of ending up with a headache. Most of the fields I’ve played at require you have some sort of hydration with you on the field. Otherwise, great starter list / introductory video!

[@w4stedspace]

I forgot gloves also (despite having a pair behind me) but that's a good call, when I come to refresh this video I'll definitely include hydration, thanks! :)

[@Oddytwin]

I entirely agree with most of your recommendations, but I have a couple suggestions. First, if you are going into a CQB/CQC environment, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AN ATHLETIC PROTECTOR/NUT CUP. As a player, and occasional ref, I CAN'T COUNT how many times I have been/seen players shot in the junk. While generally it's not a huge deal, and it won't happen often, but when it does you will be very unhappy for a while. (Short side story, had a player get hit in the junk from 15 feet away, and was in so much pain he stripped off all face protection, and puked on the spot. I'm not kidding when I say this will make you SO much happier in the long run) Second, for those who do wear glasses, make sure you find goggles that can accommodate your glasses without pushing them around too much OR being too loose. If they are too tight, you may find that they are hard to get on and off, and then end up making your head/face hurt, but if they are too lose they might not protect your eyes and end up causing MANY more issues for you. Just a couple of recommendations from my experiences as a ref, and a player

Its like that first day at a new school. You dont know what or who to expect, you arent sure what to do.. you are intimidated. I am comfortable now because I found everyone I played with to be helpful, willing to give advice, fair, and I got to try a variety of different types of guns.. People are usually very willing to show and demonstrate the weapons they use to you. Get past the butterflies in your stomach the first day and you will probably find yourself playing something you really enjoy.

Having played paintball for years,, I kinda know what to expect. A friend recommended the CYMA M-14 full size and it works wonderfully. Comes from the factory with a 6.05mm barrel, fairly tight tolerance so must use quality bb's and I find it works best with about 32gram bb's. What you said about face and eye protection cannot be stressed enough. Do NOT skimp or be cheap about the face and eye protection you buy. Often you may come around a corner and exchange shots with an opponent at close range. Getting hit in the face at close range is something you will not soon forget and if it hits an eye, you just lost one. Protection is number one.

[@MiggyBenz]

Step 1: don’t have a poor, average salary.

[@w4stedspace]

It's tough when you are young or struggling on income for sure, I've been there myself... but not impossible. Depending where you live there can be very good second hand markets both on kit and AEGs themselves that saves a ton over buying things new with honestly little downside if you are willing to learn maintenance. Sites vary, but there are also places that focus on making the experience cheap. If travel is the issue, then I feel ya... not much you can do if there's no site near you unless local laws allow for setting up something yourself or local club games, but airsoft is definitely not dominated by money, just does need a little investment to enjoy. I've personally only ever bought 1 new rifle, the rest have been second hand, and the one new one was from the cheapest end possible. I'd rather work on them and save cash!

[@angelyssegarcia6529]

I’m young and I have to use the power of the purse so yea

[@zacharywright165]

I’m 17 and work part time min wage at a gas station and I can easily afford Airsoft. Now, I had to switch to Airsoft from paintball because it’s WAY more expensive. But Airsoft is realistically really cheap, and anyone who has a job can scrape together a couple hundred bucks to start out, and just rent if you really wanna play.

Shooting white plastic or any other bb besides ones they have verified will get you sent home for the day. Check your sites requirements.

[@w4stedspace]

I get ya sir, but you should be able to check that in advance - if they have rules like that and don't advertise it on their website then that's pretty unfair honestly - and often sites will charge a premium above local or online shops, and at least in the UK, are frequently run by individuals with limited stock and can run out of the ammo you'd like as the day goes on... which means making hop adjustments and all sorts, I've even had a day ended because the BB's on sale just refused to feed with my tightbore barrel. I'd just recommend reading up on the site in advance and making sure you adhere to the site rules, which is sound advice regardless honestly! :)

True. Thanks for the reply and being super nice!

You also have a rather well balanced opinion that takes into account a lot of what is noobs are thinking about and steer us in the right direction. I look forward to other posts! Good job. Oh yeah, I don't think you mentioned gloves. May not be needed on day 1 and many may like the dexterity loss when wearing them.

[@malcolmhall-h1z]

Very good tutorial video I would very much like to try airsoft. I'm 67 is that to old to start .I'm retired and need do some kind of activity. Going back to your video,you explained in detail what is needed .10 out of 10. Great advice.

[@w4stedspace]

As long as you are feeling OK with the concept there's no reason why 67 would be too old! One of the best bits about airsoft is the inclusivity and the ability to do things at your own pace regardless of who you are or your age. Great for exercise and having a reason to meet new folks. As options go, it's a pretty good one and lacks some of the downsides of a lot of sports where you end up a bit more forced pace wise. It also has the secondary benefit of having plenty of tinkering and prep done at home so even when you aren't actively playing it's a fun hobby. Thanks for the kind comments, glad to have helped!

[@gravestoner2488]

@@tomi9562 i don't think Google maps knows your biking speed. Average is 6mph, meaning the driving time would been to be based off driving 18mph to be accurate. But younger people might be able to go 2x as fast, I assume you are young. So 12mph and 36mph respectively. I assume the driving speed on Google maps is the streets speed limit and a majority of the drive will probably be 55mph. For an average of 50 given stops, traffic, and slower streets. 50/3 is still over 15mph which would be really hard to do. I would expect a biking trip to take 6-10x the driving time, realistically. So something like 6-10 hours 🤔

1. Buy cheap recommended on forums AEG rifle, buy cheap but good CQB pistol, buy the cheapest pistol holder, additional magazines, buy cheap balistic glasses, buy some face protection buy ammo, greengas, find in a closet some decent boots, pay an entry fee and ... enjoy the company of try-hards, self appointed warlords, idiots, cheeters, drunks and psychopaths. 2. Become one of them or loose all the faith in humanity. Learn new tactical moves like running away from the anemys range, dodging bullets, determining if anyone saw you've been hit, relaying a tactical information to your team when you're dead and many more. 3. Sell all the equipment you previously bought to buy a fancy tactical gloves and spend your family fortune on the weaponry that shoot 3m further within local arena fps limits. 4. Be bored because no one respects that you are the only one true commander.

The most important factor is the range, and if you'll note, a lot of CQB places require neck protection even if they already have low FPS limits. >besides that it's just a little sting and if your playing u should be strong enough to take the sting The sting isn't what fields that require neck protection care about, they care about a shot possibly damaging one of the shallow arteries or veins in the neck.
