Hello everyone, I'm brand new to Airsoft Canada (quite clearly), and I'd just like to ask two hopefully simple questions
1)
I'm seventeen years old, and I want to get into airsoft as soon as humanly possible, from what I've read, purchasing a gun requires you to be 18, as well as owning it, but people under this 18 can use them, as long as they are under supervision, is that about right? I really don't want to wait another 8-9 months before I get started
.
2)
My second question is about finding the gun that is right for me, the first thing I was going to do (try to refrain from hitting me) was just drop down the 90 or so bucks on a cheap airsoft gun, and then I'd be on my way (see
Here.) but after reading some resources online (which I've finally built the habit of doing before I go and do something stupid) I learned that it fires at 130 fps, and takes like a nine volt battery.
Now, I'm not going to pretend that I've got a single clue how good or bad either is, and I guess it depends on what you're looking for, but I've been reading about rifles at around 300, and even extremes like 500, then seeing that this thing caps off at 130, well.. I felt a little cheesed off.
The problem is, I live in a nice little town in ontario where the only places you can get an airsoft are Canadian Tire, and maybe walmart, (supposedly you can, I don't know), I don't know anyone who has an airsoft gun, or anywhere I can rent one ( me and a group of 5 kids wanted to get into it and play out of town, in a nice area out of town ).
So, I guess I didn't need to tell my life story, but I really don't want to have to delete that, to sum it up (incase my point got totally lost while I was rambling)
1) At the age of 17, I'm still legally fine to play Airsoft, just not purchase the guns (under correct supervision, of course)
2) What would be the best approach to finding a gun, if I can't access any of them, I sincerely doubt my parents would drive out so that i could try one out, sadly, so What should I do?
Thanks for any help
