Awesome posts, thanks guys. Black Death: that gun is beautiful. Also: you are one big b*stard! :P I'm not too worried about the overall look of my loadout. A slightly mismatched, DIY kind of approach has always been more my thing and no doubt that will apply in airsoft too. :)

Very helpful post, Adam, thanks for the advice!

I know I need to prioritise thinking about a rifle, and I am (I like the look of a G36, but plan to try it out first along with an M4 to see what feels right).

Hello, recently succumbed to a long held urge to buy a couple of airsoft guns for popping at targets and am now looking into going to a couple of skirmish events to see what it's like. I haven't done much shooting of any kind for a few years but I was shooting .22s from early childhood right up...
