What comes next is a complete guide to help you with airsoft games. with this guide, you can purchase airsoft hardware, as well as prepare and find out how to battle.
Here are the steps:
First, you must find your dominant eye that you will use for targeting. This is how. With your palms facing away from you, put one hand over the other so that you form a triangle with your palms. Holding your arms entirely outstretched, target something in the distance thru the triangle. Now, gradually bring your hands back toward your eyes. You'll have moved either to the right or left ; that side is your dominant eye. That is the eye you'll have open when you target.
Purchase your guns. You will need a sidearm ( a pistol ) and a larger weapon (
an airsoft shotgun, rifle, or submachine gun ).
Check out reviews online; do not just go by the pictures and ads. Some high-quality guns have low FPS ratings. FPS can be increased with upgrades.
Learn the rules of battle ( they can be discovered online ). Then, the role you select in battle and some method ( guides can determine your selection of weapon. For CQB ( close quarters battle ), you'll need a short barrel like an
airsoft shotgun or carbine.
If you'd like a rifle, ti makes sense to go with an AEG ( airsoft electric gun ) because they or fully automated so you will not need to cock them continually. Spring guns will do just fine for sniper rifles. There are AEG and even gas rifles but they're dearer than not endorsed.
Use gas guns for pistols. Buy extra magazines for all guns, but especially gas guns, to save some time reloading.
Pistols will cost $75 and up, AEG rifles $100 and up, while good sniper rifles go for $110 and up.
Only buy high grade BB's because less expensive ones can break in the barrel and jam. Use silicone oil for to clean guns.
With your guns chosen, next you need to put together a team. Then give them positions and roles appropriately. This could cover stuff like stealth, spy, open field and close quarters tactics.
Have your team members purchase their own hardware, if at all possible. That way, they'll take better care of it. And they will be happier with what they purchased.
Don't be afraid to get shot when in battle ( this is something everybody has to learn ), because you'll be shot many times without reference to how good you are .
Using your weapons means something will ultimately break. No use spoiling your day because of a broken part. If you find one particular part appears to fail repeatedly, consider replacing it with a superior part than the original. Spending some time online researching the firms that make these parts will give you a good idea of who supplies the best price for the dollar.
Another point about maintenance : when guns start to shoot at a lower FPS or velocity, the gun's spring has probably weakened and must be replaced. ( of course, ensure the battery is fully charged and all the gun's internals are lubricated and in good shape. ) The best way to test springs is to chrono them, that is, use an instrument to gauge the FPS.
