Welcome to AP. My advice to you would be do your home work when it comes to buying airsoft gear/guns. Find out what you like and feel free to ask as many question as you can many people here have a lot of great advice and experience in playing and purchasing. Try to go to a AP event to check out what peeps are using and how the outdoor games run a little different then the indoor games. Oregon Airsoft arena is a good place for some one like yourself that hasnt ever had the chance to play to rent a gun and get your hands wet. Good luck. :D

Fixed. Welcome to AP. I won't give you the usual, "grammar" warning/thrashing due to your location.

What kind of ship do you work on?

You think you're hooked now? Just wait till you attend your first and then second game. By that time you can't stop. You'll end up spending all spare money on some new piece of gear.

Welcome to AP
I don't really have any advise accept when buying a gun fined out what the pro and cons are and fine at least 2 to 4 video reviews about the gun. Most video's will give you an insight how the gun performs over time, and most video review will tell you about defects.That online retailers tend not to mention on there websites.

Oh and always make sure your airsoft gun is completely empty before you just point and shoot it. Even after you remove the clip. My wife still wont let me put a battery in mine in the house cause I shot her great dane mix on accident (oops).

Lesson learned.....always fire 2 or 3 times after clip removed in a safe direction.
