Hi,
I'm Dayton. I am new to airsoft, very new. I just bought my first gun, and am really looking to get into this sport, super excited.
Little background info; I'm 23, 6' 3" and 250lbs. I'm a Commercial HVAC Technician, have been for 5 years now. I love riding dirt bikes, (not competitively, just trails and practice days at the track). I've never played any airsoft games before, and you'll probably think I'm crazy for buying a expensive AEG to start off with, but I really like the TAR-21.
Anyways, could anybody help me out here? I'm trying to figure out what kind of gear I need to get started? Vests, what color of camo, how many mags (hi, mid, or low cap?), how many batteries I can expect to go through in a day of playing, etc. Do I need a radio? (what type would you recommend?) Is a pistol necessary or just good to have on hand for CQB?
Is there any (mature) person or team here that would be willing to show me the ropes during a game or two? I really know nothing about this sport other than "Shoot them and try not to get shot in the process."
I'm great at following directions, and am a good leader when needed. I would most likely be available on Friday afternoons, Saturdays anytime, or Sundays as long as it's not too late, (work starts early for me).
Really hoping to get into this, thanks for any replies.
