Starter in airsoft
 

Hello, i'm a guy who already pllay paintball in the forest and i'd like to start playing airsoft. I'd like to know if it's better to own a handgun or a rifle before to play outside.

rifle, go with what you think looks cool, as 90% are the same internally. and READ, READ before you post anything, and search before you post anything too, some people like to flame, don't give them a reason to flame you.

Greylocks... this has an almost sadistic thrill to say to people....

This is a generic response. Pick the parts that apply to you.


FAQ: (Frequently Asked Questions) Button at top of forum list. I bet what you want has probably been asked before. Also found in the Information Section.

Information: Button at far top of page (and the Information Center section of the forum). You might find the Information you are looking for. And check the pinned subjects in each section.

Canadian Retailers: Button at far top of the screen. If they are not listed, DONT buy from them. You can also look at the Classifieds section on the main page, or Trumart who owns this website. You must now be 18 to buy guns, and AGE VERIFIED (look it up), to visit our forum classifieds.If you want something, and dont see it on their websites, EMAIL them. Dont ask us.

International retailers and information: Button at the far top of the screen. Good for information, but buy from Canadian Retailers. YOU CANT IMPORT AIRSOFT GUNS INTO CANADA!

Teams, Games and people to meet (pick your Province): Team section, go see and contact folks. They will know where to play and Where To SHOP in your area.

Search button: Learn to love it.

lol... *grabs some popcorn and waits for Greylocks*

Graylocks not here right now can I take a message?

Also read the FAQ section and ALL the stickies...and leetspeak is not cool...

At least learn to spell my name correctly?

New guy; read. Just... read a lot.

Si tu veux de l'info en francais, vas voir la section Quebec.

Noobs feel free to PM me I can help a bit without getting uber frustrated,,,

WHO NEEDS FOX?.

lol. I dont need the show 24 anymore. I've got the entertainment of watching us here on ASC tear Noob posts like these apart. :hammer: :tup:

I would not laugh too fast at newbie posts, because you made a doozie about your EBB.

seem to see you're the first to make the comments, you're the one im laughing at here. At the fact that we all seem that its alright to beat up on people here. Dont get enough attention at home, or work, dont take it out on us.

damn I want to see what's gonna come out of this 8O

Hey, you need me more than you think!
:nod:

lol, yea. :salute:

get a rifle and a hicap mag, a hand gun is almost redundant if your just playing recreationally. then if you decide that you want to start playing with the community at sanctioned events, upgrade to lo caps and a hand gun.

oh kudos to Adrenalin Junky for that first reply, im a big advocat for that sort of attitude, its nice to see im not alone.

Dont go and get any gun you think looks good. that may have been true in the past, but with such a selection of well priced full metal guns.
You'll go out and buy a TM M4 and before you know it, your barrel is gonna wobble more then a bowl of jello and your body tabs will be busted. Save yourself piles of money and trouble and buy a solid gun.

G36 or Full metal M16/M4/AK47

Uh Oh.... I see a flame fest coming....

Agreed. the way i see it, Greylocks has earned the right to do what he does. And we dont ALL tear noobs apart. Just the ones who dont use common sense. Just because thats the case 98% of the time, doesnt make it our fault. I havent been here long, and i have still yet to play the sport, but i know that you atleast take the time to research things before you stick your head in and make a new post... there may already be 3 or 4... hundred (it could happen) identical, and people understandably get fed up reading the same question over and over.

However, I really HAVE been harsh as was pointed out to me privately.

So I'll try to change the way I answer stupid posts. The answers may not be liked, they never are when someone is told the obvious or told to read, but when that's the only real answer...

Long live Greylocks *salute*
there should be a Greylocks bot 2.0, it auto hunts down n00b posts. :P

You dont need a bot... greylocks is pretty much is a bot already, he goes through forums posting the same pre-written post in random threads.

You laugh at the new guys, and we laugh at you. Not with you...AT you.

Noob.

Fixed.

If they are strapped for cash, lowcaps are likely a bad idea. Personally, I suggest midcaps. But that's off topic.

Beginner - Highcaps

Intermediate - Star Lowcaps/Midcaps

Expert - Normal Lowcaps, capped at 34.


Now that, is my opinion.
