4. After deciding which team to join, buy camo and boots. Good boots.
5. After having the camo and boots and friends to play with. Figure out a role to play. Not all teams need a new sniper with a sub quality gun.
6. Buy a gun and whatever gear is need to fill your new team role.

Airsoft is a team sport.
I'd change the order slightly.
-Find out about airsoft.
-Find local people/places
-Contact the local people/places
-Go see
-While seeing, look at the equipment really used and what else is needed.
-Arrange to buy what I need

When I started, finding people was difficult as there were no real centralized sites like this one. This meant I went and bought a gun for a few hundred dollars more than needed, but I got a decent gun anyway. Someone here probably still owns it.
Then I found out others were in this game, the rest took time.
