If you are reading this, you're interested in playing airsoft. As with most sports, a certain quantity of equipment is needed in order to play. For the airsoft novice, the diversity and sheer amount of products accessible might be a bit overwhelming. To make issues a little clearer... here's a ‘quick-start out equipment guide' I've compiled, based on my own encounter in the sport.
Regardless of whether you intend to play simulated close-quarter combat (‘CQC') in an enclosed complex or engage in extended field operations outdoors, there are a couple of items of equipment which are mandatory. The first of which, and undeniably the most crucial, is the use of proper face protection.
You've likely seen YouTube clips of airsoft players wearing little more than sunglasses while engaging in airsoft combat. If you care about your teeth or ability to see, this is a massive ‘no–no.' Full-face protection is a need to, and that indicates fully-sealed airsoft goggles with lenses constructed of either impact-resistant plastic or steel mesh, coupled with either a mouth guard or full-face protection (there are many organisations which manufacture reasonably priced airsoft ‘all-in-one' masks which allow for self-contained head and neck protection). normally travel at speeds anyplace from 300 to 500 feet per second (and up!), which is undoubtedly enough velocity to cause irreparable damage to one's vision and teeth. Correct face-gear is a ought to, not only to safeguard the player, but also to heighten one's performance and enjoyment of the game. Bottom-line, face protection, as properly as gloves and impact-absorbing clothing (BDU's and tactical gear deliver sufficient protection, despite the fact that a thick sweat-shirt too will suffice), should be an aspiring airsoft player's initially priority and initial investment.
