@@jesperkuipers9432 Indeed. Save up some money and get good gear
One tip I’ve got is to look at gear that you can resuse in different ways in the future. So for example, if you have your eye on a $160 plate carrier that’s out of your budget, consider getting some mag pouches you’ll eventually put on a plate carrier when you can afford it, and in the meantime, just wear them on a belt. For airsoft beginners, it doesn’t even need to be a tactical belt. It can just be a plain old belt looped through some molle pouches.
Then you can get a battle belt. I don’t recommend the old school style that condor sells. I recommend the more modern two belt systems with opposing Velcro. These will give you the most stability. Tacticon makes a great one for $30-40, but they run sales all the time, and they even have great dump pouches, as well as other products you may find useful.
An item like this will serve you well not only when you don’t have a plate carrier, but even when you do get one.
Once you’ve found a good budget carrier, or have saved up enough for that dream purchase, you can run the belt and the plate carrier together.
Another example would be getting a good chest rig with removable pouches, as even if you own a plate carrier, on hot days you may still want to use a chest rig.
Bro you said check out the plate carrier at the end and didn’t say the name or link

Pick up BBs that you find on the ground, they are the cleanest and pure BBs around and will work like a charm in your gun!
Especially in GBBs!!!

Dawg do not
@@julietbravoin gbbs they would run the best lol
@@VolgogradProductionsexplain your thinking please
got a complete separate gear set. worth almost 1000 euros. Basically getting premium gear for your first game is a safe way to get you into that addiction :D Almost all my friends who used that stuff once got into airsoft now.
Lol, definitly True
Yeah i spent 700 euros for playing my 2nd time lol
Thanks so much for these tips! I am 21 now and in college and haven’t played airsoft in years. I played from ages 11-14, but player and staff toxicity at my only local field drove me out of the hobby. My fifteen year old brother now wants to get into airsoft, so I’m looking at getting back in. It’s easy for me, because I’ve kept all of my gear. I have followed all of these tips in some form or another and can attest they work, but I did get burned once buying a used gun and I swore never to do it again. I was always very trusting and a guy I knew who I considered a friend, but looking back was never very faithful to me, offered to sell me a gun he didn’t want anymore for around $40 less than it cost brand new. I used it in a game before buying it and it broke down, so he fixed it and the next week I STILL BOUGHT IT. I don’t know what I was thinking, because the night I bought it, the selector switch fell off the side during a night game and I never found it. It was a $15 part to replace, and he was already selling me a gun without a flash hider and that he had painted(when I’d have preferred it one solid color). All that to say, it has sat in my garage all these years and never been used again because I never got around to buying the new parts, and I have always regretted buying that gun when I could’ve bought something new.
Is it allowed to play
At the age 11?
@@hruhrustudio7477 pretty sure most fields are 13 and up but usually you can get anyone of most ages in as long as the refs decide to be nice
Was it tac city city
I know a lot of people like the full gear with the plate carriers but it partially defeats the purpose for me. I like just wearing a t shirt and a leg harness because I actually enjoy the aspect of the BB’s hurting. It makes the game more exciting and more adrenaline filled in my opinion. I don’t necessarily like the pain but that’s probably why it’s more exciting.
They really don't even hurt that bad unless it's 4 feet away with a hot hpa gun lol
@@Mabungo even more reason to not wear a full kit.
I've been playing for a month now and this is something I immediately noticed.
Me to, we play run the gauntlet 'if a player comes in not wearing glasses or safety off, they have to run 20 metres with a small shield while everyone fires at them, I've seen some lads back in bar afterwards looking like bubble wrap.
@@Mabungo man i got fullautoed by an hpa pistol from less then 5 feet away from the ref straight in my ass cheek the ref went off on him
A personal rule I follow is to not have multiples of the same thing. Meaning, I don’t need to plate carriers or two helmets. If I want to buy a new product, I’ll sell my old/existing one so I don’t have two.
A huge thing is to pick a camo style you like and stick with it. Buying new stuff later for a more uniform look because you decided you like multicam and all of a sudden your black mag pouches and accessories don't cut it anymore.
100% agree on those last two, your story is a lot like mine. I used to never spend much on gear or run cheap stuff because I didn't play often. Now that I am in a position to play more I upgraded everything........then upgraded again.......I cannot stress enough springing $100+ on a good plate carrier is so worth it. Your loadout is more modular which lets you try new things. I run a G36, but just got an ARP9. Switching a single placard takes two second between games to switch from one platform to another. Absolutely amazing.
Or just get a “merc” loadout with plain Jane colors I can’t decide on a camo yet because I have yet to see the eviroment I’m playing on so I’ll probably just get my tac clothes and gear in basic earth tones🤙🏽
Springs don't become weak while under tension,they become weak when they are used,f.e. if that was true your car suspension springs would brake all the time since they are at constant tension.
Thank you! There is a lot of disscussion about that topic and the best answer I could find over different forums etc is that springs dont wear out if stationary (either fully compressed or not compressed at all), they wear out if they are being used. The US army research did some testing for that over 5 years and the preloaded magazines didnt loose any spring pressure, only the ones that were used
@rhabeldibabeldi6812 and even then they only soften so much. After that cyclic wear eventually leads to breakage.
Well it’s more that they weaken when when used outside their parameters.
*compression
In extremely simple terms, springs work by wanting to return to their 'resting' position, but as you point out this isn't a perfect process that slowly fatigues the material (any time a spring stretches it wants to be slightly longer and any time it compresses it wants to be slightly shorter). If you leave a spring at a certain compression for long enough, that will slowly shift the material towards making that its new 'resting' position. Effectively your spring will lose power because it will attempt to return towards that shorter compressed state rather than its fully extended one.
Another saving tip is know your platform.. if you like AKs dont buy a cheap M4 as your first gun as then you have to buy all different magazines when you finally get your AK same goes with pistols ECT
im about to buy myself a Hi-capa 5.1.... made sure to check if it had aftermarket stuff and the upgrades seems to be endless....so the money well spend, if something breaks its 100% fixable... also pretty much all hi-capa 5.1 mags are compatible... HPA upgrades possible.... and since i want to play speedQB the performance is pretty good
I have to disagree; EVERYONE should start with a cheap M4 as their first gun imo. They might not be everyone's cup of tea, but they have the widest amount of aftermarket availability as far as mags, parts, and so on. Buying an AK to then have less availability on the back end for parts and such, being a little different to work on vs V2 gearboxes which most SMGs, ARs etc all share, different hop units, it all adds up for newbies first getting in.
@@dalejones6248 read my comment again… what I’m saying is don’t buy a gun just because its cheap when your final goal is another gun because you then have to start from the beginning again but if you stay with the same platform then all the accessories transfer over..
@@posso2010 read my comment again. The simple answer is that's absurd. NOBODY is going to stick with their first RIF forever other than through legacy purposes, NOBODY ever does in airsoft, you and I both know what you probably bought as your first RIF you may well still own, but you don't just own that type of platform because it's in the nature of airsoft (especially starting out) for people to work out what they like, what they don't, what works well with their playstyle, etc. A cheap banger M4 for £150 you can run for 6 months and kill while you just play the game and learn where you end up most on the field, how you play, are you an aggressor or do you sit back and plink, do you try to be more supportive, are you an objective chaser, etc is a MUCH better alternative. The 2 things starters should look for, in truth, are 1) that the brand is reputable and 2) it has a MOSFET, so the electronics don't shit themselves and die. That's what I tell everyone first starting asking what gun to buy - go buy a Cyma M4. M4 mags are peanuts, everyone uses them, parts are readily available, upgrades are bountiful, they're easy to sell, it's just a no brainer for a beginner. Buying something out there like a G36C or MP5 as your first RIF would be absurd for those same reasons. Buying an AK to decide you don't like it and end up with AK bits about yourself while everyone you play with runs M4s etc and you decide you want an M4 is no different - your point not only doesn't make sense, but is counterintuitive, you're basically telling people spend big bucks starting out. While working out if they even like the hobby, if they like that platform, if it suits their playstyle etc, a cheap gun you won't cry about when you kill it (as all FNGs inevitably do) is PARAMOUNT.
@@dalejones6248 mate we are talking about people on budgets who don’t have alot of money and play airsoft… i was just continuing on the point in the video “try peoples guns and see what you like” so I continued that point by saying if you liked a AK don’t go buy a cheap m4 because then you need to rebuy accessorise and things…
I agree most people swap guns eventually after finding the play-style they like and i do agree buy a cheap M4 first aswell especially because theres so many options even if you stick on that platform you can go dmr or cqb or something completely different like a arp 556 and all the accessories transfer gun to gun but if your on a budget you cant do that as your money’s limited and you cant afford to do that..
This video just saved my battery. Thanks man!!
Great Video! Some Tips from me:
1)The BB´s you get when you purchase a gun are crap. But you can fill with them your grenades!
2) On fields where is only cqb 0.2Gramm BB´s are perfect because the range is so short and is not influenced by wind.
Good tips, thank you!
This video was need like 10 years ago. Very helpful video. Hope lot of people see this
My tip for first time players: Get good eyepro and facepro. Some rental places I have been to tends to get low-tier ansi rated rental eyepro and facepro, or charge up to the gills for the full face dye mask.
This was a great video thank you Mate
Great video! 👍
The video we actually needed the most
As a hardcore paintball speedballer I tried airsoft once and rented one of these cheap rentals with no plate carrier just a mag and my paintball dye mask and I did not have that much fun. I think what deters people from playing is the gear difference. This goes for many things but if I had to go from my $2000 luxe setup to a tipman rental in paintball I probably would not have as much fun and I think the same goes with airsoft. You need to invest to have fun it's just a risk you need to take to enjoy the sport is what I feel like.
Agreed.
For BDUs and other military clothes, here are my tips as someone who's been able to wear the same Army uniforms for years and years:
1. As he said, do not wash them if they don't need to be washed. Febreeze is a great thing.
2. Turn them inside out before you wash. Yes, it works.
3. Wash on COLD PERM PRESS cycle. You can tumble dry, but again, PERM PRESS cycle.
You may also want to wash with your patches left on, especially name tapes and other things that take up the entire velcro area. This helps keep the velcro strong over time - but the tradeoff is that your patches will slowly fade too. So this one is a personal choice IMO.
I absolutely love how at 8.45 for fixes, you show the dreaded G36C nightmarish tamiya mini clip
You can keep bbs in your magazines, if you didn’t use em. Just get good quality mags with good springs, this exact same thing with springs is the same with real steel counterparts.
you helped me a lot, I am just buying gear and i am wondering how to save up money because my budget is low (but enough), thank you!
my dads friend had airsoft replicas we agreed on a price but he was first testing the guns only 1 gun was a bit weird doing and he is now giving us it all for free so i havce a great start in the sport and i need to say before he tested everything he bought a new battery so i am sure i could have fun if i could change the broken parts
Hiába vettem meg a Novritsch SSR4 replikát tőletek újonnan , nem bírt ki 2 játékot sem és tönkre ment. Garanciába visszaküldtem és újra működött de az első játékon ismét tönkrement! A garanciátok nem sokat ér, mert több mint 5 hetet vártam rá.
Cool thing is first what i bought is helm and vest then pistol and shotgun and now aiming for sniper rifle
Yeah I’m saving up for my WE Scar H this month, probably buying it late next month… have my nice boots, eyes and mask, pants, and gloves. Need my plate carrier and jacket, maybe a helmet, my rifle build and I’ll be good for the next few years.
Does releasing the pressure of the magazine and keep a bit left only applies to gas with silicon?
Wait, up to $40 game fee!? Good thing game fees in our place are only around $2😂
Where are you getting prices like that!?
Main problem for me and for 1 friend is that we live in Bosnia and only way that you can play is by gathering 8-20 people and coming to field.Any tips on what to do what grups to join soo we can see events in our part of europe.(i saw some gameplay from Croatia and Serbia but only when they passsed)
First step, don't start to play😄
Nah keep doing we need more fellas doing it [ :
My first aeg was a 300€ gun I bought from San Marino…it broke after 3 days…so also where you buy thing matter (it was new)
guys Im about to buy my first airsoft, which is the SA-F02 FLEX, and I wonna hear your thoughts if its a good choice to begin
I c a lot of people coming to our field 1-2 times, Having bought used replicas for like 90-100eu, then their replica breaks down, and they are never to be seen again, but the guns are being posted for sale later on. I really do miss tip number 9 tough. : listen to more experienced players advices. I also see people buying a lot of expensive rs equipment, and then not being able to carry it without looking like 'the hunchback of Notre Dame', or like a turtle due to the weight of their rs helmets :P. Some rs equipment is very nice for airsoft. I have a NFM heidrun vest for my sniper kit, and I love it, got them ventilated plates in it now, must admit it makes a huge difference on heat transfer.
First time i have played airsoft i was playing on borrowed ak-74, mask, glasses and i even borrowed chest rig from my friend to use and i dressed myself in tracksuit and i ended up buying this chest rig and getting my own 2 m4 one is short and second is long, longer one i have moded and its basically dmr now and second short one is for cqb and typical forest shotout also i got myself 1911 with full auto and revolver, since i'm soldier myself i didn't needed to buy camo clothes because i already have them but anyway o got my self some belt harnesses with pouches and ghillie suit now i'm looking for some good plate carrier and propably earmore m32 with ptt for my radio that i use with my friends for communication i'm also looking to get some more replicas like some cool ak (because ak duh xD), bolt action sniper rifle (they are cool af), maybe a glock (i like their designe), some shotgun (m870 breacher for cqb) and another m4 but want to make it like some LMG build with drum mag, tripod etc xD
Maybe try military surplus
on those older pictures josef looks like an SF guy 😎😅
HopUp got some decent airsoft stuff
Nr1 eye protection
what is a great way to get rid of your beginer guns?
well airsoft was much more expencive before Nowrich. I have ssr 4, ssx 23 and 303 and LPVO optic. This are out of box top did not upgrade ore anithing ..I use .32 bb s ..so its not expencive as it was when I started (i have to pay duble of price of ssr 4 to get its preformance)..so great video ant best of reguards
I skipped everything and got expensive guns and cheaped out a little on everything else I’m only going to upgrade when it breaks or causes problems
Gloves also important
how much is a decent aeg?
whats his vest
nr 1 your eye protection
Vz.95 Is just the best
What's a good budget for a gun? I spent over 700$+ on AEG rifle, and 1140$ on a spring sniper I really liked, as far as I know that would be really good budget for some awesome guns elsewhere, but guess what? these prices were for STOCK guns, no mods or anything, just the very basic... those are just prices in Israel because of import fees and such :P
but were i can buy this
Good thing about being in a military is that all I need are airsoft guns and I'm good to go because the government paid for my gears lol
“Get rid of stuff” NO! Lmao 😂 my buddy gave me all his airsoft stuff when he went off to college since he didn’t use it anymore, and I still played. A lot of it was broken so I have about 3-4 guns in pieces currently, some of which I can’t find parts for but I’m hoping to come across some parts eventually. I don’t want to get rid of any of it because they’re all so close to working. I suppose the snipers could go as they’re entry level inaccurate snipers, and I prefer close quarters play anyway.
Don't buy reusable grenades honestly be through so many 😂 always better getting thunderflash
I wouldn't pick bbs off the ground cause they have dirt that can hurt your gun dinged
your best ally in this hobby is aliexpress, you will find lot of things for cheap, like best, battle belts, pouches, eye and face protection, somo walkie tolkies, and lot of tactical stuff, for airsoft is not need it a 5.11 best or something like that
whats the tshirt at 2:03
If i hadnt just bought a kwa eve4, i would have bought this.
If anyone is looking for a good battery titan is a good choice
good tips for new players... however it stays a very expensive game to play....
How do you think, is it possible to get beginner's kit for 75-100$? I'm living in Russia, so, maybe some replicas cost 20 percents less
Depending on the field and its age, I wouldn’t recommend renting unless you know their guns are decent and they have masks that are not paintball masks.
Had a bad experience with renting, so just purchase wisely
This weekend 10€ mesh killflash saved my 300€ optics
Yeah it’s a good plate carrier but it’s $200!!!
#1 tip to save money in airsoft: don't buy weapons from novritsch.
frrrr
The biggest way to save money as I've found is don't buy in person, buy off of evike, it's almost always cheaper.
Im buying a 100 buck cyma sports m4 soon
Why i want a gun a rilfe based on the good one j want
So then i can test out attachments a friend has see whats works good and well so then when i save up i can buy a good rilfe with good attachments
And my uniform will only cost me 99 for the base
40 for the strip vest ( used by 1980 cops) and a good mask and helemts i got all of it figured out
i don't kow why I'm watching this since I'm playing since 2009
I managed to get a real life bundeswehr plate carrier, belt and full uniform and a airsoft helmet with a cover for 100€ I got such a good deal
So dont take the CO2 out when im finished going through it?
Nr 1 tip is dont mod ur got. Itll last u over 12 years at least if u buy a goodish one, meaning, spend 300 at least on one
Yeah don't be me 10 years only cleaned lubed replaced hop rubber. Started tweaking with it. Rebuilt it 4 times since
Okay at 0:37 Woman with blonde hair is wearing adidas camo stuff , and yes that’s the think i want it , where can i finde it does anyone know?
Bruh, i seen a dude play in sweatpants and flipflops.
i don't think i should skip buying BBs
Quickest way to go broke playing Airsoft,
Step 1: Buy a systema
Step 2: congrats you did it
So main take away from the last point: just buy the first gun from umbrella armory 😂
I did play 2 games, now i have spend 2000 euro on 2 guns and gear….
So so , aber wenn man eine Email schreibt wie die feder entspannt wird von der ssr4 (deutsche Version) dann bekommt man die Antwort....auf Dauerfeuer stellen und einmal abdrücken.... Bloß das das nicht geht und eine weitere Info bekommt man nicht. Oder man schickt eine Pistole wieder zurück weil das hop up nicht einstellbar ist und man wartet auf Antwort oder ersatz nur kam bis jetzt nach knapp einem Jahr nichts zurück, weder die pistole noch eine Email. Wirklich schade
Bonus tip: don't be a speedsofter
SA's latest OEM for their gun internals is kind of shit now, would not recommend
whats a replica?
Down here in the underpants of the world aka South Africa, Novritsch gear and guns are the most expensive. I understand Novritsch went with the idea of buying a pre upgraded shooter to save having to upgrade others and pay for techs to do em. But in ZA its still cheaper to buy a GnG ARP, drop 3K on it, and youll still have a lot more change left after, rather than buying a Novritsch gun or Plate Carrier. How to save money, dont buy Novritsch lol.
"Quit"
want a tip for BB companies to save something aswell? :)
DON'T throw away low quality bbs
why?
because APS shotgun replicas exist :) and they literally function how a shotgun is suposed to be...you don't need any quality of BB here...
+ grenades
+ mines
+ other weird applications..
i would buy all these rezidual bbs...if only i could find them...
Do not ever reuse bb's. You'll damage your guns.
I think I like u better than novritsch 😂😂😂
+1000 sins, they made a fort...
tip 1: dont buy from novritsch
tip 2: dont cheap out on eye protection, x800 and wileyX are my personal recommendation in combination with a exfog unit
tip 3: kam-39 crossdraw vest, g&g cm16, 4 midcaps, a nimh battery is one of the cheaper but reliable ways to start
tip 4: there is a subreddit where you can ask more specific questions
tip 5: never trust youtubers completely as they are paid by brands
tip 6: (not connected to tip 3) design your kit in such a way that you wont have issues with transportation and weight
Extra tip: for gas pistols, buy japanese. You won't need to fix them all the time
I got a ssp1 and its working like a charm!
@@veke05 for now it is. My KJW 1911 costed me 400$ to fix

@@Sacredg_fpv Here are the following broken parts: Valve knocker, grip safety, sear, magazine, general wear (gas efficiency)
My problem is, I'm 16, live in Cologne Germany and want to start with airsoft but our city is against Airsoft because they see it as playing war. What do I do?
If you can, Just visit a different city when you want to play. Find a playing field and rent your own guns if you are worried about them finding out, and anyway just don't let them know you are leaving for that
Fuck them, just do what you want it doesnt matter what other people think
Ngl i think its pretty nasty to not wash your uniforms after playing airsoft but ig thats just me?
Shopping tip:
I might receive some backlash for this but I don't really care cause if you don't agree with me, then ignore this comment. There's no need to get mad.
Amazon sucks. It just does. (For airsoft). The variety of products they have is terribly low. And everything they sell is cheap junk from China. Everything is low quality, they don't sell any good brands. Lots of people I know order off of Amazon and wonder why I don't. They say they do because it's cheaper and the shipping is quicker. This may be true, but is it worth it for the quality of the gear? I have never bought any airsoft products from Amazon and have spent over $600 dollars on gear. I suggest real airsoft distributors like Evike. Some people don't like it, but I think it's great. They have lots of choices and things are higher quality for the price you pay. This might be more of an opinion since I really don't mind paying tons of money, I just have to work harder to earn it, and I don't mind how long it takes cause I can wait. You might not like how shipping isn't free, but guess what? It's free if you spend over $149.That may be dumb to you, but, come on, it's Evike. If you ever buy something from them, it's gonna be over $149. SO stop buying shit from China, and get the good stuff.
Here’s my tip to save money. Step one: don’t get into airsoft lol. Get some real guns haha. No but airsoft is fun and the gear doesn’t make you good, start out with a cheap sprint pistol, then invest in a good AEG because aeg is so easy to get into. Once you’re comfortable with the AEG think about possible upgrades.
No do not absolutely get into real guns it’s even worse money pit…. And most importantly don’t let the two mix otherwise your wallet will hate your deadly. 🤣
I usually follow this rule: If it looks too good to be true it probably is.
Where are you from? Your accent is very czech-ish
