i have been thinking about writing a gear guid for noobs or something like that for a wile. im not to good with words and im lazy, so it hasnt happend yet.
but, ill make this sugestion, get some paintball goggles (if you dont alrady have um) that can be taken down to just the frame and strap holding the lense if you prefer. (alot of us do) gogles can be had for about $50 for a decent pair.
i think that at alot of places a gun may be fairly easy to borow or rent, but there arnt to many gogle whors out there.
the other important thing in my mind is a good pair of boots. you dont need to spend a lot of money on them, but get a decent pair.
i have a pair of rothco 'basic issue' boots, they are watter proof and light weight and only cost me $100.
plus you can use them for more than just airsoft.
you should also get cheap used BDUs. some people spend lots of money on gear, but it isnt neccesary for some one just starting.
i hope this helps you out in your gear selecting if you decide to take the plunge.
