FOR ALL NEWBIES -
just a piece of my experience as an ersopter!
...so im starting this thread for all the NEWBIES out there..
first of all...i want to greet you WELCOME to our WORLD and soon to be your world...
so ok..
lets START:
airsoft is one sport here in the PHIL na unti-unting lumalaki...where we play MILSIM (MILITARY SIMULATION) and SKIRMISHES..and dito thayo nagkakaroon ng pagkakataon magbihis at gumalaw as MILITARY..hope you get what i mean...
usual NEWBIE PROBLEMS:
WEAPONS:
-mga NEWBIE alam ko nangangati na yang mga kamay nyo na magkaroon ng sariling AEG...siguro naiisip nyo na rin ano gusto nyo and ano upgrades ilalagay nyo...which is GOOD...but my TIP: which i learned through respectable VETERANS never RUSH buying youre own AEG/WEAPON...try to know your GAME STYLE FIRST..like if you want na laging sumusugod...its good to have a very reliable automatic rifle type such as M4s, AKs, SCAR and the like...if you want na mabilisanag ACTION like CQB its good to have short rifles or SMG(SUB MUCHINE GUNS) such as MP5s, M733, M4 CQBs and the like..for easy manueverability..and if you want to WAIT and KILL via LONG RANGE..SNIPER RIFLES such as L96, BAR10 or even LONG AUTOMATIC RIFLES should do the JOB...so if you know your game style mas madali ng bumili ng baril..at para hindi sayang...diba...
GEARS:
some of the newbie i notice..well even ako nung nagsisimula ako..i always think muna ung magiging LOOKS ng WEAPON ko or even myself..which is bad..always INVEST sa SAFETY especially sa EYES...VETERANS use SENSEI/SANSEI mask..matagal na nila ginagamit tong klaseng mask na to and i know some of them will say CHEAP but VERY DEPENDABLE..ung mga iba naman use PAINTBALL MASK..its also VERY DEPENDABLE but downside nya may KAMAHALAN...so its up to you kung ano gusto mo gamitin...
if you notice MADAMING mga BRANDS/TYPES ng MASK/GOOGLES
FULL FACE MASK
usual brands: VFORCE, JT, SCOTT, EXTREME RAGE, MELL, EAGLE FORCE
-this mask offers you protection from your FACE and EARS..and some FULL FACE offers protection sa buong ulo (HEADSHEILD)
-usually LENS type sila...but my mga MESH din like the EAGLE FORCE..since lens type sila..based on my experience..CLEAR ung vision mo..unless my tint/color ung lens but still CLEAR pa din..but my mga gumagamit nito nagkakaprob..ung iba for them di gumagana ung ANTI FOG sa lens kya lumalabo sight nila...may iba naman na mahilig tumingin sa SIGHTS/mag SNIPE..pero prob hirap sila kasi if your gonna try one..mapapansin mo angat sya ng kaunti..but i'll definitely say ok syang mask...
FACE MASK
usual brands: the ORIGINAL and VETERAN SENSEI/SANSEI
-for all of the VETERANS talagang may mga magsasabi na VERY DEPENDABLE to...and other than that..its CHEAP...and ofcourse you'll never experience FOGGING in this type of mask..ksi MESH type po sya...madali lang din magsight if you want to use your SIGHTS and SNIPE youre enemy...but napansin ko lang..when i use this type...MUKHA lang talaga kaya nyang iprotect..but my mga NABIBILI din na EAR COVERS for this kind of MASK..some called it PRINCESS LEIA as a JOKE...and pag madilim na ung area...may slight lang na alteration sa visual mo..ksi dark colored sya na FINE mesh..kaya un..but for some nakakapagadjust..siguro sanayan lang din yun.. labo ksi talaga mata ko...hehehe
GOGGLES/PROTECTIVE GLASSES
usual brands: ARENA, ESS, WILEY X, OAKLEY, SPYDER, GUARDER, BELL, WSGG..etc.
-eto yung kung gusto mo talaga maging SPECIAL FORCES look a like ka.. goggles offer protection na you feel free or not being restricted for some...ksi sobrang at ease ka..ksi nga mata lang ung tinatakpan mo...but problema pag tinamaan ka sa pisngi panigurado para kang may pimple na PUMUTOK..masama pa nyan..you've been hit in LIPS ar even sa TOOTH..good bye pearly whites basag yan..so some use NEOPRENE FACE MASK or just the lower part of the SENSEI..just maprotect mo ung mukha mo..but since usually lens sya my mga goggles na nagfaFOG din..
JUST LIKE YOUR FIRST AEG...its up to you kung ano gusto mo gamitin...because for all i know these kind of FACE PROTECTORS are all DEPENDABLE...magkakatalo lang yan sa PREFERENCES mo..asn sa BUDGET mo...ut since your starting i advice you to buy SENSEI first..or some DEPENDABLE CHEAPO mask/goggle..like MELL or EAGLE FORCE...but kung talagang MAYAMAN ka..well go ahead BUY VFORCE and other EXPENSIVE MASK/GOGGLES
--so i hope you've learn something...next time i'll post again here...for you guys..if you have QUESTIONS feel free to ask me or other STAG's here...FRIENDLY man mi so dont be afraid to ask if you want to know something about this SPORT..ok..i also learned sa ako kakulitan. hehehe
so again..WELCOME sa ijo..STAY SAFE, PLAY FAIR and ENJOY the GAME that we LOVE..HOOORAHH!
