Paintball player new to Airsoft

Postby turtle21 » Wed Apr 13, 2016 10:56 pm

Hello,

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Daniel and I live in the Portland Area. I am 23 years old, Korean-American.

I was interested in making the switch to Airsoft from paintball. I've enjoyed my time in paintball but wanted to play more the woodsball slower playstyle. (Which is what ive enjoyed more than speedball)

Working on getting my first AEG (G&G m4) and some basic gear.

Anyways if you are near the Portland Area, would love to play with you guys.

-Daniel

Welcome to AP.

I find a good battery and couple of high caps and a good starter AEG is all you need to start. But you will want to keep picking stuff up in order to fill out what you'll need in order to keep advancing in the sport.
I'm a major chairsofter, sorry about that.

Welcome. Next month we are hosting a laid back game with an alien theme. You should come check it out. It'll be a great way to see what the monthly airsoft scene is about here and should be fun. Then in July, we will be hosting our yearly Summer Slaughter event that will have a large swap meet, local retailers, and of course a ton of airsofting. It's a great place to make friends, meet teams, and get guns and gear at a discounted price.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask here. This place is a wealth of airsoft knowledge.
