Airsoft Discussion / Re: Where should I start?
« on: September 20, 2015, 08:24:31 AM »
All you really need to start playing is an airsoft gun (gun, battery, and charger) and goggles. Yes, the other stuff helps, is very functional, or makes you look cool. But it's not really necessary...
Sometimes I'll just pick up my rifle and goggles and play using shoes, jeans, and a t-shirt... All depends.
Start by looking at how much money you would like to throw at this hobby, it can be a serious money pit (no joke) for enthusiasts. I strongly recommend going to a game as a spectator just to see how it all goes and what you personally like. As opposed to diving in head-first and then discovering you don't like it, after you've spent a bunch of money and waited for things to ship/arrive.
I suppose I'll start with these questions:
- How much money do you want to spend on everything (replica and goggles)?
- Does the replica you want have a battery and charging unit included?
- What is your playing style; Assault (Aggressive), Support/Sniper (Rear Guard Style), Quick-Mobile (Sneaky, Quiet, Flanking), etc)?
- What style of goggles do you want? Do you wear glasses or contacts (gotta know)?
- What type of terrain will you be playing on? Wet, dry, sandy, indoor, etc?
- Do you want camouflage? Do you care?

I saw your post in the introductions section, welcome to the forums!
As for where to start, I highly suggest following Gimpalong's advice and going to some recreational games or events just to hang out and see how everything all works. More than likely you won't be charge for it considering your attending as a spectator.
In my personal experience people are normally more than willing to explain how their replica works or allow you to fire off a few test shots. Same goes for goggles, gear, etc.

Luke hit the nail on the head for both questions...
Eye Protection means the "Eye portion of the goggles" only. Mesh lowers are fine.
