Hi and welcome, have a read of some of the guides on here then get yourself to a few games and enjoy !. I would suggest you run rentals to start with until you get your UKARA and decide what style of play you enjoy. However think about getting yourself some decent eye pro and face pro and boots straight away. Above all have fun.

Welcome. ?
Feel free to ask any questions you wish about any topic related to Airsoft/legal ownership/history, etc. There aren't any 'dumb/silly/weird' questions so please just ask it. You won't get a rude reply.
The obvious first thing has already been said by the previous posting members and that's that the first and top thing to look at is SAFETY KIT. If you wish, treat airsoft the same way as you would owning a motorbike. Yes, you can buy a seriously powerful bike/gun, but you need to also make sure that your safety equipment is the best that you can afford. At some point, you're going to get hit in and around the face and body. That's a fact whether you intend to go and shoot with others or if you will only ever be shooting targets at home. BB's bounce and ricochet, even off of flimsy cardboard, paper or fabric. Eye protection for you and others is an absolute. (In biking terms, your helmet is your absolute equivalent. You might be the best rider on the road but you can be damned sure that the worst driver is heading your way. Their stupidity WILL get you hurt.)
If you are unsure about what you need or where to get it then you only need ask. The equipment isn't expensive and you'll always have several people willing to help you work to whatever budget you have. We're gamers like you, not sales people. Lol.
Have fun and welcome once more.
