What to expect on a first game ?

You sound good to go.

I've also read up on all the rules at my field and know the basics ( Barrel condom on outside field, no test firing randomly, always listen, respect fellow players...etc etc.)

Erennert · February 10th, 2009, 00:48

Yes, those are a no-brainer, but none the less equally important

I know it's already been said, but it deserves repeating. Call your hits. Airsoft isn't like paintball, there's no splashes of paint to mark hits. No one knows for sure if you've been hit except for you. The whole sport rests on the honor of the players. So if there's any doubt, err on the side of caution and call the hit.

Another that deserves repeating, don't touch other people's equipment, especially guns, without permission. Some guns cost upwards of a thousand dollars or more and their owners are understandably protective of them.

One thing that I think is worth stessing but that no one is yet mentioned: don't fire your gun unless you're sure that everyone has eye protection on. It doesn't matter if you're firing in their direction or not, safety first.

bring your hydration pack. It must have in summer.

Erennert · February 10th, 2009, 01:07

Yes, last thing you want to do, is drop out of a game and go home because your feeling
sick from dehydration.

but then i read the second part so its okay.
Where could i get silicone oil ?

Erennert · February 10th, 2009, 01:26

Any hobby store, such as RC pit stop I believe carries it.

KND · February 10th, 2009, 01:28

Canadian Tire has silicone spray, I usually spry it to my hop up after a few hundred went through.

MOARPOWER · February 10th, 2009, 01:28

Wheres RC pit stop ?

Erennert · February 10th, 2009, 01:31

http://www.rcpitstop.com/, also I'm not sure of the exact location, it's in downtown Langley.

EDIT: the address is on the site.

Oh my god, bring extra money, you will probably need to buy more ammo and such.

And oh my god again, mosquitoes are killer. I've had about 8 last time I went, and it was so bad, I had to go to a wedding next day. I looked like a freak. Bring extra layers of clothes in case too. Clothes to keep you clean and your car seat clean.

Make sure your gun shoots fine and wont give you problems in the middle of the game. Sitting in the parking lot with a problematic Aeg is no fun.

Also if that happens, and your gun fails, remember to bring extra money as I said incase for rentals.
