New in Salem, OR area

Postby Meatwhistle » Wed Apr 29, 2015 1:50 pm

I have been looking around for a hobby to get into and fell on airsoft. I have seen the guns in walmart etc and thought they looked kinda cheesy till I looked up some videos on youtube about this sport. My opinions have drastically changed and looking to try it out. Any hints/tips on weapons for new players not wanting to break the bank, or better yet the wife wont get too mad for spending the money lol. Thanks in advance and look forward to getting into this sport!

Welcome.

Check out Extreme Velocity, they'll have rifles by G&G, get one of those.

G&G Raider ($180ish) (M4). I like M4 over anything else due to a lot of other players have them and if your on the field someone will always have a spare mag or battery that will fit. Tell your wife that the most expensive part of this sport is the start up cost. Gun, Battery, Eye pro, Half face mask, Chest rig is a good start. Don't just listen to one guy on what to get. See what others suggest and please stay away from those Big5, Walmart, and other big name stores. Do your research first on line and then go talk to someone at Extreme Velocity (located on State St north side).

Don't forget some kind of water carrying device, even if its just a water bottle shoved in your pocket.

Gloves, and a deathrag.

Welcome to AP!
I really like my Echo1 AK. It's easy to upgrade and very reliable.
Here it is: http://echo1usa.com/x/guns/redstar-series/ak-ris/
Good luck finding a gun!
