we recommend this approach
borrow from a friend: we love it when players bring friends if possible, borrowing existing equipment is an amazing way to play airsoft if you don't play consistently enough to justify buying your own gear yet.
entry-level purchase: consider an aeg (automatic electric gun) in the $150-200 range with a full metal gear box.
what to expect at your first game:
safety briefing and rules explanation
chronograph testing of all weapons
team assignment and game objectives
multiple game types throughout the day
