You might want to put that thought of buying gear for a sport you&#8217;ve never even played, aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DO NOT BUY A REPLICA BEFORE YOU TRY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replica&#8217;s are very pricey and you need some knowledge on your country&#8217;s law surrounding them. <br>Most airsoft fields offer a rental package that includes a replica, some form of faceprotection, and at least one magazine of ammo. Booking your first session with one of these packages is a great way to get an introduction to this beautiful sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You&#8217;re going to get hurt. It&#8217;s part of the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During your first game, you might be constantly worried about getting hurt, and dreading getting hit. That&#8217;s why you decide to camp and hide in a corner and barely shoot.<br>Come on. You&#8217;ve paid money to rent a replica, so use it!<br>Getting hurt is part of the game so if you can&#8217;t stand the thought of going home with a welt somewhere on your body, this sport is clearly not for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protection first, replica later<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, you&#8217;ve played your first game. You like the sport. What now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, I always sugest investing in good protection first. This means getting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Glasses or goggles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facemask<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tactical gloves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tactical boots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">before investing in a replica.  Just play your next few games with a rental replica first. Trust me, protection is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do some research  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a lot of cool looking replica&#8217;s out there, but please do research first. <br>Figure out what kind of playstyle you want to take on and what type of gameplay you will be taking part in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get yourself fammiliar with these abbriviations, they will help you in your airsoft journey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>AEG<\/td><td>Automatic Electric Gun<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GBB<\/td><td>Gas BlowBack<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AEP<\/td><td>Automatic Electric Pistol<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>FPS<\/td><td>Feet Per Second<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the most common terms you will find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also do research into your country&#8217;s laws about owning one and how to transport it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to buy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this section, I can only talk about stores in Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many stores here like Airsoft Shop, Airsoft Store, Airsoft Doctor, ISA shop,&#8230; but you can also look into buy second-hand.<br>The best place to do this is here <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.airsoftbazaar.com\/en\">Buy second-hand airsoft gear<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone in this sport has been in this same situation.
