Hi everyone,just thought I'd say hello.I've recently been persuaded to try airsoft but I've always had a hankering towards anything WW2, so when I found your site,I decided to combine my interest in WW2 with airsoft. I've always fancied getting into reenactment but could never decide which period interested me the most. I've started buying bits and bobs of kit and trying to get as authentic as I can,so that in the future if I decided to get into living history, I would have the right kit from the get go. I'm going to surf the site and try and make sure that any questions I ask haven't been asked a million times before.
bye for now
Steve
Hello and welcome,
there are a couple of 'starting out' threads recently along similar lines below. My usual advice is:
i) you don't need re-enactment standard kit to do WW2 airsoft, and for many events you don't really need any kit at all as people will lend/rent it out - in particular the Gunman games (Foy in March, Hockwerk in July) where you can borrow uniforms, weapons, webbing etc.
ii) If you have never, ever done Airsoft before, I would strongly recommend going to a local Airsoft site for an open day or three to get a feel for how it works and see if you like it before dropping a ton of cash on something which isn't for you.
Cheers
Martin

Welcome to the forum
As Martin says, trying out a standard airsoft game is a good idea, then once you've decided you like it Gunman games are a fantastic place to start as there's always kit and weapon available. After you've tried airsoft then WW2 airsoft the kit guides on this site are very handy for when you do start buying your own setup.
See you on the field
