as many have said this already, I would go easy on buying lots if things before playing - your Lad might prefer a AK or a MP5 after seeing what’s on offer or sees after a few games. Airsoft is/can be a money pit if you let it

I think that's a good deal.  Any more info on the shop so we can check its OK?

2x hi-caps (High Capacity) should be enough.  Each holds around 350 BBs and he can fill them between games.  He shouldn't get used to auto spraying all the time and use single shot as much as possible.

Get him one bottle of 3300 0.2g BBs.  That should last more than a day.

Search for 'Assault vest'

Here are a few examples: 1 2 3

Found them on ebay...I've just brought them as I've seen single ones go for more and being 2 I thought would be plenty for him so that's 3 he has now 

 

[Colinc1968]

Advice again please....Danny what's this sort of thing now are second hand ones worth getting or would you advise against it

Duno that make and for that price I'd say no.

Its OK to get second hand but known makes, mentioned above, and you need to know what to look for in case they've been damaged.

Definitely go with an established brand for eye pro. Plenty of choice in the £12-20 range. Again, you're just as well looking at ScrewFix for something as you are eBay or an airsoft retailer.

Just on the webbing issue, your lad would be just as well wearing cargo pants with button down pockets and sticking the mags in there for now. If you hadn't already bought the extra mags, as he already has a hi-cap, I would have suggested just taking a sandwich bag full of spare BBs in his pocket, and fill as you go.

@Colinc1968 be wary buying safety gear off eBay 

I use bolle saftey goggle and they have stood up to a full frontal hit in CQB with no damage to the lenses and in turn my eye are intact only £13.99 from Amazon or you can also use Dewalt safety Google’s from Screwfix for £9.99 but I personally have t tried those but I have heard they are good, I just don’t like the yellow

I am sure if tested “Airsoft” would be classed on a par with a class A drooog for addictiveness, even the kids from Grange Hill singing “Just Say No” couldn’t save you now !!…  and your ‘young’un’ will be calling you Zammo from now on
