not what you want to spend your hard earned money on. look into JG, echo 1, or ca sportline each can be picked up for around $200 shipped and shoot around 300-350 fps.

[sandman]

thanks psyus
that shouldn't be out of price range but the only problem is
usually when you buy online you need a credit card/debit card which i don't have nor do my folks
so do you know of any places around where i could buy those brands?

[psyus]

only used off other players unfortunately
i know some of the [rr] members are willing to part with some old guns
i myself have a loner gun avalable for use at a [rr] events so even if you just get some gear and come check out one of our skirmishes you will be taken care of... its good to see more interest in the area

[sandman]

ok used is fine with me
i've had used stuff all my so its no problem
what does "gear actually consist of?
i know like army fatigues and googles and boots right?
along with a helmet and a vest

Welcome to the boards Sandman!

Essentials are:
FULL SEAL goggles
Camo
Good pair of boots.
Airsoft Gun. - Thats all you need to play until you buy more magazines for your gun(in which you would need to invest in a chest rig).

For an airsoft gun that walmart special wont last very long in the field and you will be heavily out-gunned. Like Psyus said, look into Echo 1, JG, Cyma, D-boys, and A&K. Classic Army and G&G make sportsline models which are plastic models but come with their brand name(good internals, ect.)

Try Airsoftgi.com or if not you can get on paypal and create an account with a checking account and pay online that way. Also check out Ebay since they always have used guns on there for great prices.

thank you JiNX!

will a paintball mask work?
stash said you guys are going with a woodland camo as your primary loadout
if so ive got a woodland camo 4 pocket jacket
i still need a pair of pants and boots
so im gonna try tp head over to the laporte army surplus
as far as guns go i've got a spring crosman rifle
and a really good Tippmann T-200 pistol which has got to be my most favorite pistol i've ever owned
and four other cheap pistols

Pants are going to run you about 12-25 bucks at Sarge's place(Surplus store). Some of his prices are real high but that's because he's a small store owner and has to make a profit but clothes are a bargain at his place.

While your there pick up a ranger hat/boonie if he has them in stock. You don't want to run around bare-headed.

Paintball masks work fine. Some of them have the googles that you can take off too.

Gunnyssurplus.com has insanely low prices on surplus stuff also.

actually i finally made the laporte army- navy
im getting a par of woo ld camo pants for 30 and then as special this week you spend $25 and get a wood ld camo jacket
which i already have one but i can always us a spare
plus a pair of G.I. type black desert or jungle boots for 40 and he has a M1 helmet from Vietnam
its missing the sweat band so he's given it to me for 10 bucks
plus he has loads of other stuff to that i didnt get a chance to look at
so i should have all the basic gear by weeks end or so

[sandman]

this is what the Ground-Troops M1 helmet looks like

[JiNX]

you'll probally want the parachutist version since it has a head strap which is good for running and crawling around.

[sandman]

i'm not sure if he has the parachutist version
but if not ill still get the ground forces one and sow a some sort of
strap onto inside the liner
