Ok folks. I know asking for advice from a web forum is like picking which star (after the north star) shines the brightest but I’m a gonna ask all the same.
I found a new hobby. Air soft. I have done paintball so the way I see it, Air soft is the same but different ammo. After that…I do not know jack about it. I did get a chance to play a game at a location about 30 minutes from my casa and there is an even closer location that I could walk to if the need was there. So what is my question? What gun should I get to start? Money is not really pouring out my ears so getting some $500 pew pew device is not an option. Several online stores, NO PLUGS PLEASE (Btown Rules), offer so called starter kits for around $200. These kits offer a gun, mask/goggles, ammo, battery/charger and some other doo dads. I am afraid, however, that these starter kits are gonna fall apart after some use. These online stores also offer mystery boxes where for a flat rate, you get something from just over your price to some insane deal worth a lot more. One site has this list below:

Thanks,
Jason
