Get yourself as good a pair of ankle supporting boots as you can afford and get down to an airsoft site and have fun.As you play , you will see what gear other players have and what you like.

Man , don't worry too much about camo till you have played a few times and seen if there are other things that you need more.
Things you NEED.
1 AEG (with bag or case).
2 Eye protection.
3 Boots.
4 Gloves.
Things you WANT.
1 More mags.
2 Means to carry mags (assult rig , belt and pouches)
3 Cammo.
4 MORE AEG'S.
The best way to find out what you WANT is to get out and play and look at other peoples gear.Pace yourself when buying gear as it can be lots of fun looking , deciding and finding the gear that looks best to YOU and that you think will work best on the sites that you play on.A set of army surplus camo can be bought for as little as €10-€15.

the best thing to do is get yourself down to an airsoft site,talk to the site owner and the guys there.You will get first hand advise and meet some of the best people !( and shoot them !!!! )

What he said, so many great memories and good mates are the one's I've had and made airsofting. It's a great thing to get involved in! All airsofters are more than happy to show off their gear and answer any questions.
