Thanks for presenting the experienced players as people, instead of 20-year marine vets that have been hardened by war and only speak in grunts and yells really helped with the anxiety
From what I seem to hear most of the actual vets seem to b pretty chill (I don't live in USA, so mileage may vary), but the guys you gotta keep an eye out for are the couch commandos. People who never served but think they're the hottest turd on the pavement because they watched Pierre Spray talk about military tech he doesn't understand on RT once.
I'm sort of an old guy but I'm excited to start playing. Mostly as something for my son and I to do together. It's good to hear that the community is mostly welcoming

I was curious as to how bad it hurt playing airsoft, so I got my gas blowback pistol and shot myself point blank in the thigh. I ended up with a 10 to 15mm bruise for a week and it stang for about two minutes. Far and away better than "PAIN" Ball (or Paintball if you prefer) as I got hit on the forehead between the visor peak and the lenses of the goggles and had a welp about 20mm round and it looked like I was growing a horn!!! And boy did that hurt! Any way, Thanks for the videos, have fun and keep calling them hits. 👍
Thinking of trying airsoft in June in Portugal so I have been looking for tips ant tricks, and this became my favorite airsoft channel really fast ! Really good content and amazing tips. Keep it up ^^
went for my first match like 6-7 months ago wearing some cheap DPM surplus and webbing. I'll be going back soon with a specna arms rifle, a warrior assault systems chest rig, dangler, and backpack, Crye G3 combat pants in M81 woodland, Crye G4 combat shirt in multicam and some friends. Hopefully their first experience will be as great as mine was
my first match is gonna be tomorrow i have always loved airsoft and watched others play it for 1 whole year now. so i am really really excited to finally get on the field. i already knew most of this but yet u still gave me some good advice especially about clothing so thank u very much ur a life saver xD
@@motoglows time wasnt fitting so we played on the 3rd of august but it defenitely was the best fun i have had in the last months. The people were nice, the games and fields we played were epic and the refs were great aswell
Good info. Adding to the boots. Most common injury is twisted ankles in rough terrain. Boots should have ankle protection. Here in the UK some players don't use lower face protection. Tip if you don't want to loose teeth... ALWAYS use a full facemask. (can be two part goggles and mesh lower like you use but try to avoid any gaps) Eye protection should completely enclose the eyes so NOT shooter glasses with gaps around the sides.
to anyone who wanna get into the sport but dont wanna spend alot? well for me I literally bought my gun off my friend with a charger and battery.. then ordered some eye protection on amazon.. yes ik that sounds bad but it worked.. 😭 spend a bit more money on eye pro for sure.. but all I had for my first 2 weeks of playing was: my gun, 1 hicap mag, my eye/face protection and gloves.. and could I say that getting hit on the chest and back hurt.. so after 2 weeks of playing I knew I had to get a vest as my 3rd purchase.. but basically what im saying is BUY ONLY the essentials you need to start playing (gun, battery, battery charger, bbs, and eye/face pro) as you play more often you will know what to buy
I've tried many sports / hobbies and Airsoft is far and away the most welcoming. The advice here is spot on, ask about the cool looking gun and you'll be rewarded with a go on it or as I've seen on more than one occasion ,a response of "here, you take it for the next round, I have my xxx gun spare".
a friend and I are planning on trying airsoft. After having played games for around 5 years together now (mostly shooters like: rainbow six siege, cod, ready or not, helldivers 2 and some more) we hope to be able to hold some people off our spot xD
9:08 I haven’t played airsoft yet but my brother has. Using common knowledge and Empathy I can say: *I think you’ll also might feel a little paranoid at the start but you also gotta remember your opponents may feel the same way. and I say “may” because I feel like most experienced players are more perceptive and insightful enough to not be surprised by somethings.* Like with any game i think confidence is still important for playing this and just trust your veteran teammates.
My biggest obstacle in starting airsoft is getting a gun that actually works or isn't broken somehow right out of the box. Everyone says to get an aeg but I've bought 3 already and had to return all of them for some reason or another. i just returned a Lancer Gen 2 Proline M4 today because the ejector flap was broken right out of the box. I'm going back to a springer as I have never had trouble with those and at least I can get out there to play.
it all comes down to budget and what u can afford, aeg's at extremely low budgets break, ur better off getting a gas pistol and learning to fix and maintain a GBB hicapa or something of the sort, cheap and easy to work on, guns break no how much money u spend, it part of the game gotta get used to it and hopefully u can save down the line for extra guns to use, but if ur really adamant about using springers, at least use the higher quality shotgun springers

But for now, dip your toe into airsoft and just get an AEG primary and enjoy yourself! 😁
Ive just been on my first airsoft match in my life yesterday that my friend told me to go with her. "take some good boots, pants that you dont care to destroy, gloves and glasses, Ill get you everything else. I must say, Ive had a blast. She got me M4, helmet, vest, mags and mesh for face (" we dont want your tooth to go boom" ) :D Ive shot some people, few skilled players guided me, we rushed all together, said where I saw something... and just ENJOYED THE WHOLE EVENT. Gosh it was awesome. Even one guy that saw my glasses fogging just came to me out of random and handed me some kind of a spray for glasses, so I can see something :D
@@Zatoka. it was fun! It was 4 hours At first i was a little nervous but the organizers were really nice Only thing is i probably should have brought more water I had 1.5 liters and i ran out at like the 3 hour mark
Found a good field for free that offers to give free guns for beginners for the first few games. Had a good time and definetly gonna buy a gun of my own.
I tried airsoft a couple of years ago and I just fell inlove with it... been trying to save enough money to play ever sins... i wore white gloves to my first match :P such a rookie mistake... the enemie said to me that i was so easy to spot me because of it :P the most important thing is, obey the rules and call your hits... I played a couple of times with a group who just did it once for fun and they had no regards for the rules and that can really destroy your experiance
Also a really important thing for shooting the gun first if the enemy cant see you make sure you aim before also when you shoot dont act like youre pulling the trigger try to act like youre squeezing it so instead of pulling the trigger squeeze the trigger its small but its much better
greetings from italy! i've always wanted to start playing but being a girl with overprotective parents was already difficult enough, finally i have the chance to try it with a couple of friends, thanks to your video i'm feeling way more confident than before, i hope i can have a great time there :)
i remember after a game finished people started mag dumping and a bb bounced of a tree and hit my eye pro that why you always keep you face and eye pro on untill in safe area
Well said sir. If vets are just trashing noobs the sport would not grow. So glad when I can help a new player out and they realize how much better it is when you k ow how to adjust the hop up makes the game more special and makes friends too good on u p dog
My first ever airsoft experience is my friends handing me a shotgun and sending me out there. I hid in a ditch for 20 minutes and waited for the right moment then managed to get a triple kill in 2 shots! Only to get shot immediately after :)
I remember on my first time, i was shot right in the sides of my torso (the soft part btw) by a sniper that was way closer than the playing fields minimum sniper range was (30m), i still wanna go back and play lol
I’ve only played with friends of a similar skill level at my house. I’m worried to go to a public field because I’ll probably get demolished by people with better gear and skill.
I think you’ll be fine! It’ll take you time to adjust to the new field but it’ll make airsoft feel much “grander” if that’s something you seek! I’d give it a try with your friends one day 😁
So I’m a bigger guy who gets out of breathe semi quickly. Who also has no one to go with for the first time. What tips would you give me regarding those obstacles
I’d just recommend not pushing beyond your physical limits. Give yourself time to adjust to the environment and you might not find the need to be running around constantly if you can find some decent spots to post up. Move methodically and hold angles rather than hurrying around the map constantly Since you’re going alone for your first time, just be observant and you can always find a friendly player to ask questions! Going alone isn’t bad since you can focus on yourself in the moment, rather than worrying about others and the experience they’re having Hope it goes well! Always happy to help 🤙🏼
Hmm.. good question If my field is closed or it’s a week day, sometimes I’ll fiddle around with my airsoft guns indoors (unloaded of course) I’ll practice reloading, transitioning from right hand shooting to left hand shooting… random stuff like that. Just those two things alone are really good things to do Otherwise, some shooter games might help you get into the zone/hype for some airsoft on the weekend. Stay healthy and keep some level of fitness in the meantime. I’ve got a chin-up bar installed in a hallway I have to pass through, dividing my living space in half, whenever I pass through, I do 10 chin-ups. It’s my lazy exercise habit 🤷🏻♂️
I decided to battle my brother with BB guns. He had a 400fps pistol and I had a 500fps he shot me in the ribs and gosh it hurts. I no longer want to be hit by a BB gun
Just played my first match of my life at ballahack this past weekend, I appreciated all the tips but the only one i was able to follow was “get in there get action”, your videos are a godsend to new players and very enjoyable appreciate it man
Maybe a dumb question, but i am just curious, do the bb’s dissolve in the nature, like are they made out of some special material ? Or are airsoft players just spraying shitload of plastics into the woods ? Cool video by the way :).
@@baracudaBlava Thank you! 😁 I believe most outdoor fields have a bio bb only policy Not too sure how long exactly it takes for the bb to break down/dissolve. But depending on weather it could be 2-3 months, or possibly half a year?
So i've always wanted to play airsoft and a couple months ago i went to my first game got some rentals and it overall was a good time (although very stressful) but the one thing that has been discouraging me from going back is accidently shooting my twamate i felt so bad after i did it and i just dont know how people differentiate teammates from opponents, tips would be much appreciated!
Usually one team will have coloured armbands and the others don't. So don't shoot as soon as you spot someone. Observe first is usually a good tactic. And friendly fire happens all the time (even for real) so just apologise and have a laugh with it.
Normally, games don’t last long enough for that to happen. But if you do end up running out of ammo during a game, simply go back to the safe zone and refill/reload Be conservative with your ammo! Full auto is often not necessary! 👍🏼
I'm curious what if you get hit but you don't feel anything. This was a good video recommend to others. It was useful because I might quit cricket. And when you are aiming how do I judge distance or if the wind will move the bb in the air.
If you don't feel it and don't shout 'HIT' they will keep shooting you until you do 😁 Aiming comes with practice and is heavily weapon dependant. Optics will usually only be useful when you have more experience and your own weapon. So to start just use open sights and adjust fire based on where you see the BB go.
Sorta! I mean it’ll get your mind in the zone and make you hype to give it a go, but your body and muscle memory out there on the field/with an airsoft gun will need to adjust You’ll have a gamer’s edge out there lol
Hey bro! Can I please ask you for a favor? Currently there’s no shop that has the Aug feed nipple replacement in stock so I plan on sending it over to cnc machinists to make it for me. Can you please let me know what the length of the nipple is from top to bottom in millimeters? Is it the same length as the plastic oem one, just metal? Thanks bro. Sorry for doing this through yt hahah nice vid btw I really enjoyed your game play!
Hey! I believe the metal one is slightly longer… I’ll make a measurement for you, but it’ll take me a day or so to get back to you on that (just busy at the moment) I promise I’ll get back to you within 48 hours!
Hey again! So the metal nipple measures at 11/16th of an inch, which is pretty much 17.5mm The stock/plastic nipple is 10.5/16th of an inch (16.7mm), which is ever so slightly smaller. Somewhere I read that they made the metal nipple just a tiny bit longer to help with feeding issues. So it definitely won’t hurt if you have yours machined to be between 17-17.5mm in total length. The bottom, thinner part that sits in your mags would be the portion that is slightly longer Hope this helps!
Here’s a video I made a while back talking about the differences between the two! ruclips.net/video/IP9Nadguwkg/видео.htmlsi=1vQvnaHV0PyCrJSE Both are great. I’d say airsoft hurts less, has an easier time appealing to realism, can shoot far, and more cost effective (at least here in Canada this is very true) Hope the video helps! 👍🏼
I was shot point blank in in the nail on my first game with an HPA tapped M4 with an insane fire rate and unfortunately for me I had fingerless gloves 💀
Hey, I'm just about to try airsoft for the first time and one thing i was wondering if it's allowed to directly hold a gun against someone's head (helmet, when the weapon is safe and finger not on the trigger of course) and say "pew" or something like that. Cause I really REALLY wanna do that xD (also sorry if my english isn't 100% correct, I'm not native english but I hope you still understand what I'm trying to say)
Haha I mean if it’s a helmet and someone who maybe knows you, it should be fine Might be a little too risky around random people mid-game, especially since you can “bang bang” or mercy kill from a distance. Just be ready to call yourself hit if that enemy player refuses to call hit and if they don’t allow “bang bang” at your field. I could never shoot someone that close even if they refuse a mercy kill! 😅
Not a bad idea! I used knee pads until I found pants I liked with knee pads built in Knee pads can slide around with vigorous activity and you might find them uncomfortable. They aren’t a “must”, but all it takes is one knee slam into a rock if you play with intensity… I’d bring them and see how you feel using them
Don't be afraid to go on your own. It will seem strange at first but talk to a few people in the safezone and join up with players in the game and you will soon have regular team mates.
That's my ARP-556. Very modified at this point... the handguard is the "Vegas" style made by UniqueAR's. Grabbed it off Evike in tan and then painted it black/red/silver myself! www.evike.com/products/47558/
hey man, this video answered so many questions and insecurities I had. I still haven't tried it out, but I still have a couple of questions. Number one: what sort of gloves should I wear. should I wear hard, biker gloves, or just normal cotton or whichever material gloves? number two: will the field owners supply me with face protection? number three: what kind of clothes should I attend with - baggy/light wool or cotton clothes or anything different? number four: if I do decide to continue airsoft, where could I find affordable and good paddings? If these questions will be answered, I will 100% not make poopy :> thanks for the video tho!
I know that it was 8 months ago but maybe it'll help others: 1. Anything is better than nothing, but get some harder tactical ones. 2. Mine do and most do because most of the rentals are kids and you don't want kids running without teeth 3. At my field they actually give you clothes but if you don't want that, get something comfortable which covers your body, probably black colored. I wear a black hoodie. 4. In my case the most affordable stuff (I'm from Poland) is in Polish airsoft shops. Here we have Taiwangun and Gunfire. You probably have something similar in your country too, if you are from the states then most sites are fine (you can also try checking local shops).
My first time playing I didn’t wear any gloves and got a friendly fire shot that split the nail on my ring finger, hurt like hell but I learned to quickly buy gloves lmao 😂
When I introduce people to airsoft I bring them to fields where speedsofters aren't common because they ruin the game for new players who are trying to learn
Say, what's the minimum budget for airsoft? I'm a relatively broke 15 year old(I CANT WAIT TO GET A JOB), but my dad bought me and my sibs a Daisy Red Ryder Carbine that I've gotten pretty used to, and I'm adding a sling to it. I don't have any camo, but who cares about that when you've got an awesome trench coat and cap? Also, I need proper goggles/facemask, but I don't want them to be so bulky as to make my cap fall off.
3:50 I dont know why am I so paranoid about that. I got stabbed in the face in a sword fight... it didnt hurt that much, why would a BB hurt more? Buuuuuuuuuuuut I am still paranoid about it.
I’m about to try airsoft and a question I’ve had for a while was how do you know if they are an enemie or not like what if you think there an enime but then when you shoot them they are a friendly pls let me know
@@Bluemonke1234 To differentiate friend from foe, an airsoft field will put coloured armbands or ribbons on one or both teams! It should be fairly simple enough to know who is your enemy at that point. Friendly fire still can happen… mistakes happen! Hope this helps 👍🏼

Continue shooting yourself to build up a tolerance so you can ignore hits and say that you didnt feel them 💪

I had 1.5 liters and i ran out at like the 3 hour mark
@@BilbusBagginsdid you get in airsoft
Found a good field for free that offers to give free guns for beginners for the first few games. Had a good time and definetly gonna buy a gun of my own.
Thank you for informing me because I'm just about to start airsoft I'm just missing a few things but thank you
as someone whos new thank you for this video
Boots with ankle support, hoodie, jeans, gloves. All you need.
I tried airsoft a couple of years ago and I just fell inlove with it... been trying to save enough money to play ever sins... i wore white gloves to my first match :P such a rookie mistake... the enemie said to me that i was so easy to spot me because of it :P the most important thing is, obey the rules and call your hits... I played a couple of times with a group who just did it once for fun and they had no regards for the rules and that can really destroy your experiance
I play with gel guns but this was still very helpful as in I’m going to do some games soon
Also a really important thing for shooting the gun first if the enemy cant see you make sure you aim before also when you shoot dont act like youre pulling the trigger try to act like youre squeezing it so instead of pulling the trigger squeeze the trigger its small but its much better
YOOOOOO THE INTRO MUSIC!!! It’s the Luigi’s mansion training theme, mad respect 🫡
greetings from italy! i've always wanted to start playing but being a girl with overprotective parents was already difficult enough, finally i have the chance to try it with a couple of friends, thanks to your video i'm feeling way more confident than before, i hope i can have a great time there :)
To be honest, my first airsoft gun might be a springer M24 with a silencer, but at leadt it can shoot thru the milk carton
I play airsoft for quite a while...and it's so cool actually
“Don’t go to Airsoft in FlipFlops”
Sounds like a challenge
i remember after a game finished people started mag dumping and a bb bounced of a tree and hit my eye pro that why you always keep you face and eye pro on untill in safe area
THX U UR THE BEST!
I literally did that today at my first game. Guy in the field had a PPSh-41 and i went oooooo tell me more
Well said sir. If vets are just trashing noobs the sport would not grow. So glad when I can help a new player out and they realize how much better it is when you k ow how to adjust the hop up makes the game more special and makes friends too good on u p dog
My first ever airsoft experience is my friends handing me a shotgun and sending me out there. I hid in a ditch for 20 minutes and waited for the right moment then managed to get a triple kill in 2 shots! Only to get shot immediately after :)
I remember on my first time, i was shot right in the sides of my torso (the soft part btw) by a sniper that was way closer than the playing fields minimum sniper range was (30m), i still wanna go back and play lol
I’ve only played with friends of a similar skill level at my house. I’m worried to go to a public field because I’ll probably get demolished by people with better gear and skill.
I think you’ll be fine! It’ll take you time to adjust to the new field but it’ll make airsoft feel much “grander” if that’s something you seek!
I’d give it a try with your friends one day 😁
So I’m a bigger guy who gets out of breathe semi quickly. Who also has no one to go with for the first time. What tips would you give me regarding those obstacles
I’d just recommend not pushing beyond your physical limits. Give yourself time to adjust to the environment and you might not find the need to be running around constantly if you can find some decent spots to post up. Move methodically and hold angles rather than hurrying around the map constantly
Since you’re going alone for your first time, just be observant and you can always find a friendly player to ask questions! Going alone isn’t bad since you can focus on yourself in the moment, rather than worrying about others and the experience they’re having
Hope it goes well! Always happy to help 🤙🏼
@@PrairieDogAirsoft thanks brother. Appreciate the response. I’m definitely gonna find a field near me and give it a shot!
thank you this was an amazing video🙂
OK 👌
Thank you dawg I will play air soft in the future so these are good tips thank you
This video was extremely helpful 👍
Would you recommend the game onward or any shooting vr games to practice airsoft when your local field is closed.
Hmm.. good question
If my field is closed or it’s a week day, sometimes I’ll fiddle around with my airsoft guns indoors (unloaded of course)
I’ll practice reloading, transitioning from right hand shooting to left hand shooting… random stuff like that. Just those two things alone are really good things to do
Otherwise, some shooter games might help you get into the zone/hype for some airsoft on the weekend. Stay healthy and keep some level of fitness in the meantime.
I’ve got a chin-up bar installed in a hallway I have to pass through, dividing my living space in half, whenever I pass through, I do 10 chin-ups. It’s my lazy exercise habit 🤷🏻♂️
This dude from Canada?! LETS GO! Also airsoft is basically illegal in Canada now 😑
I decided to battle my brother with BB guns. He had a 400fps pistol and I had a 500fps he shot me in the ribs and gosh it hurts. I no longer want to be hit by a BB gun
Just played my first match of my life at ballahack this past weekend, I appreciated all the tips but the only one i was able to follow was “get in there get action”, your videos are a godsend to new players and very enjoyable appreciate it man
Ight, im heading out with some money to a field
Im from the phillipines of course when we lose bullets we smash it it the face of our enemy
My first game I was shot directly in the hand from point blank there’s a small permanent scar there now
Unlucky but its quite rare if you play at a good site that tests the power of guns before the game.
Maybe a dumb question, but i am just curious, do the bb’s dissolve in the nature, like are they made out of some special material ? Or are airsoft players just spraying shitload of plastics into the woods ? Cool video by the way :).
@@baracudaBlava Thank you! 😁
I believe most outdoor fields have a bio bb only policy
Not too sure how long exactly it takes for the bb to break down/dissolve. But depending on weather it could be
2-3 months, or possibly half a year?
4:34 Played Airsoft for the first time a few days ago, guess where I almost solely got shot?
my friend managed to get shot in the finger bc “no need for gloves” and the bb got stuck under his skin
3:28 you forgot about blind fire
So i've always wanted to play airsoft and a couple months ago i went to my first game got some rentals and it overall was a good time (although very stressful) but the one thing that has been discouraging me from going back is accidently shooting my twamate i felt so bad after i did it and i just dont know how people differentiate teammates from opponents, tips would be much appreciated!
Usually one team will have coloured armbands and the others don't. So don't shoot as soon as you spot someone. Observe first is usually a good tactic. And friendly fire happens all the time (even for real) so just apologise and have a laugh with it.
What happens when you run out of ammo in all your magazines and have no pistol or any other weapons?
Normally, games don’t last long enough for that to happen. But if you do end up running out of ammo during a game, simply go back to the safe zone and refill/reload
Be conservative with your ammo! Full auto is often not necessary! 👍🏼
going airsoft this Sunday ! I’ve never been before and only 14 aha so it’s my first time and scary
It’s gonna be great!! 🤙🏼
@@PrairieDogAirsoft I hope so! I can’t wait 😃
@@MishaAlpacahow was it??
I'm curious what if you get hit but you don't feel anything. This was a good video recommend to others. It was useful because I might quit cricket. And when you are aiming how do I judge distance or if the wind will move the bb in the air.
If you don't feel it and don't shout 'HIT' they will keep shooting you until you do 😁
Aiming comes with practice and is heavily weapon dependant. Optics will usually only be useful when you have more experience and your own weapon. So to start just use open sights and adjust fire based on where you see the BB go.
I am gonna have my own gear because I wanna go ready
This is very helpful because in 3 hours im going to play airsoft for the first time :)
i play A LOT of VR shooting games (BoneLab, PavlovVR, etc.) does that translate well into real life?
Sorta! I mean it’ll get your mind in the zone and make you hype to give it a go, but your body and muscle memory out there on the field/with an airsoft gun will need to adjust
You’ll have a gamer’s edge out there lol
Hey bro! Can I please ask you for a favor? Currently there’s no shop that has the Aug feed nipple replacement in stock so I plan on sending it over to cnc machinists to make it for me. Can you please let me know what the length of the nipple is from top to bottom in millimeters? Is it the same length as the plastic oem one, just metal? Thanks bro. Sorry for doing this through yt hahah nice vid btw I really enjoyed your game play!
Hey! I believe the metal one is slightly longer…
I’ll make a measurement for you, but it’ll take me a day or so to get back to you on that (just busy at the moment)
I promise I’ll get back to you within 48 hours!
@@PrairieDogAirsoft thank you so much! Not a problem, I’ll be patient :)
Hey again!
So the metal nipple measures at 11/16th of an inch, which is pretty much 17.5mm
The stock/plastic nipple is 10.5/16th of an inch (16.7mm), which is ever so slightly smaller.
Somewhere I read that they made the metal nipple just a tiny bit longer to help with feeding issues. So it definitely won’t hurt if you have yours machined to be between 17-17.5mm in total length.
The bottom, thinner part that sits in your mags would be the portion that is slightly longer
Hope this helps!
@@PrairieDogAirsoft THANK YOU!!!
I have played paintball and was wondering what the diffrence is and was going to be to try out airsoft
Here’s a video I made a while back talking about the differences between the two!
ruclips.net/video/IP9Nadguwkg/видео.htmlsi=1vQvnaHV0PyCrJSE
Both are great. I’d say airsoft hurts less, has an easier time appealing to realism, can shoot far, and more cost effective (at least here in Canada this is very true)
Hope the video helps! 👍🏼
@@PrairieDogAirsoft ok yea I was going to try it out soon anyways with my dad cause he played when he was a kid and I thought it would be cool
I was shot point blank in in the nail on my first game with an HPA tapped M4 with an insane fire rate and unfortunately for me I had fingerless gloves 💀
Hey, I'm just about to try airsoft for the first time and one thing i was wondering if it's allowed to directly hold a gun against someone's head (helmet, when the weapon is safe and finger not on the trigger of course) and say "pew" or something like that. Cause I really REALLY wanna do that xD (also sorry if my english isn't 100% correct, I'm not native english but I hope you still understand what I'm trying to say)
Haha I mean if it’s a helmet and someone who maybe knows you, it should be fine
Might be a little too risky around random people mid-game, especially since you can “bang bang” or mercy kill from a distance.
Just be ready to call yourself hit if that enemy player refuses to call hit and if they don’t allow “bang bang” at your field. I could never shoot someone that close even if they refuse a mercy kill! 😅
I went paint ball once and I got shot in the inner thigh it put me off games like this
Airsoft is less painful. Wear loose/baggy clothes.
What about knee pads for first time airsofting?
Not a bad idea! I used knee pads until I found pants I liked with knee pads built in
Knee pads can slide around with vigorous activity and you might find them uncomfortable. They aren’t a “must”, but all it takes is one knee slam into a rock if you play with intensity…
I’d bring them and see how you feel using them
@@PrairieDogAirsoft Thanks man! I'm excited to get started!
I have everything but a team large enough that i can get together
Don't be afraid to go on your own. It will seem strange at first but talk to a few people in the safezone and join up with players in the game and you will soon have regular team mates.
Thank you I just bought an smg but I didn’t know what to do 😂
What’s the gun you are using? With the playing card engraving?
That's my ARP-556. Very modified at this point... the handguard is the "Vegas" style made by UniqueAR's. Grabbed it off Evike in tan and then painted it black/red/silver myself!

240 bucks 😭
hey man, this video answered so many questions and insecurities I had. I still haven't tried it out, but I still have a couple of questions.
Number one: what sort of gloves should I wear. should I wear hard, biker gloves, or just normal cotton or whichever material gloves?
number two: will the field owners supply me with face protection?
number three: what kind of clothes should I attend with - baggy/light wool or cotton clothes or anything different?
number four: if I do decide to continue airsoft, where could I find affordable and good paddings?
If these questions will be answered, I will 100% not make poopy :>
thanks for the video tho!
I know that it was 8 months ago but maybe it'll help others:
1. Anything is better than nothing, but get some harder tactical ones.
2. Mine do and most do because most of the rentals are kids and you don't want kids running without teeth
3. At my field they actually give you clothes but if you don't want that, get something comfortable which covers your body, probably black colored. I wear a black hoodie.
4. In my case the most affordable stuff (I'm from Poland) is in Polish airsoft shops. Here we have Taiwangun and Gunfire. You probably have something similar in your country too, if you are from the states then most sites are fine (you can also try checking local shops).
praire dogs are goated
Would an SSP five be good replica to start with assuming that parts are in a problem
I have a bruise from airsoft and it's still a bit visible after 10 weeks.
Did they do power tests at the start of the day?
My first time playing I didn’t wear any gloves and got a friendly fire shot that split the nail on my ring finger, hurt like hell but I learned to quickly buy gloves lmao 😂
Thank you I’m no longer scare I won’t make poopy
when its your first time playing do they give you a airlift gun or do you need to buy one first before playing
What brand of mask do you use to cover your mouth? And what kind of glasses do you use?
When I introduce people to airsoft I bring them to fields where speedsofters aren't common because they ruin the game for new players who are trying to learn
I cant get over the voice 😂
Say, what's the minimum budget for airsoft? I'm a relatively broke 15 year old(I CANT WAIT TO GET A JOB), but my dad bought me and my sibs a Daisy Red Ryder Carbine that I've gotten pretty used to, and I'm adding a sling to it. I don't have any camo, but who cares about that when you've got an awesome trench coat and cap? Also, I need proper goggles/facemask, but I don't want them to be so bulky as to make my cap fall off.
I would really like to know mask that is
3:50 I dont know why am I so paranoid about that. I got stabbed in the face in a sword fight... it didnt hurt that much, why would a BB hurt more? Buuuuuuuuuuuut I am still paranoid about it.
I tried the rock hard bbs and they just sting for a second (I shot my self 3 times with that gun)
But it was in my thigh though and my leg
I went from cosplaying an scp e-6 mtf operative to watching airsoft videos I'm only like 16 what am I doing 😭😭
What plate carrier do you use or recommend?
i have social anxiety and don’t know if I’m even allowed to as 13 but I have seen younger people play lol.
I’m about to try airsoft and a question I’ve had for a while was how do you know if they are an enemie or not like what if you think there an enime but then when you shoot them they are a friendly pls let me know
@@Bluemonke1234 To differentiate friend from foe, an airsoft field will put coloured armbands or ribbons on one or both teams!
It should be fairly simple enough to know who is your enemy at that point. Friendly fire still can happen… mistakes happen! Hope this helps 👍🏼
Thank you 😊
first time i ever played my goggles fogged up so much i had to hold on to my dad to get off the field
