Quick question from a New Guy

[Chen]

Hello all,

I have a question about starting equipment.

What is your imput for beginner equipment

For weapons:
Primary: G&G MP5 fix stock
Secondary: KJW Gov'mnt 1911

Equipment: Very Vague...
A Helmet
Elbow and Knee Pads
Tactical Vest with a Pistol Holster and Radio Pouch
Goggles
full finger gloves

Im thinking when i save enough money ill buy the guns at 007
and the equipment at redairsoft

Any suggestions will greatly help.

I love the HK 416 model from G&G and M14 though it seems its hard to find also they might be too high maintance for a beginner like me.


Thanks a million.

You dont need a pistol to start playing. An aeg only is good enough to start with , full stock (full size battery) are what I normally recommend.
I would remove helmet from your gear list , it is NOT usefull for airsoft.
Makes your head a bigger target and any hits on it still count.

ya lupo is right, and might i suggest a good pair of boots

Thanks jethro and lupo those are big tips.

Im heading to a game at Panther paintball this saturday (feb. 6th) with a friend nickname is Switch in Op-For and it will be my first game and ill be trying out his UMP.

but are redwolf and 007 good retailers to purchase from?

In your opinion.

Thanks again for your advice.

redwolf is great for parts that you need, that are legal to get into the country. Double check to make sure that it safe.

With good boots, I would add good socks, and a way to carry water. camel backs are often the way to go.

Thanks Seekah,

analyzing, when i complete the setup im tryng to build it seems im going to get a nice work out hahah! running around while carrying what usually 50lbs of stuff including the primary and secondary. hahaha.

for a second i thought water proof socks. i usually wear wool socks in both winter spring and and just regular in the summer time haha.

Do you all of bring extra socks?

[lupo]

Boots and regular socks for the games and either flip flops or a light pair of runners and a fresh pair of socks for afterwards. Your feet will get wet no matter what you wear on them.
