AustinH Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hey guys! I am a total noob to airsoft. I have not yet been to a war, owned a gun, etc. I came here looking for some help - what age do you think is good to start airsoft? I am scared I will go to a battle and be frowned upon by the older ones. However, I am extremely mature for my age, and airsoft looks so fun. It looks a lot better than paintball (which I have played a few times) because it includes tactics, the weapons are more realistic and it's cheaper. Also, none of my friends want to start it with me, so I came here looking for some buddies! Hopefully you can help me and advise me on what equipment to buy. Thanks, AustinH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a case for being so young, you may find airsoft too painful when you get hit. If you're beyond that, then really your issues are getting hold of a gun (it's not easy for an under 18) and finding somewhere to play (not everywhere allows under 16's).

If you're beyond that, then really your issues are getting hold of a gun (it's not easy for an under 18) and finding somewhere to play (not everywhere allows under 16's). Thanks for the speedy reply. I am 13 and, although it sounds young, I have searched around and found a couple of sites that allow 12+. I've played paintball and the pain wasn't much, but I've heard airsoft is less painful... You tell me... Of course, getting a gun would be my only problem, I would only be able to get a two-tone (if my parents bought it). The only thing I was worried about was the older guys getting angry at me for being... younger... Thanks for the reply, AustinH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The raffle thing sounds cool, but I presume I could only win a two-tone prize. AustinH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
