Hello:\n\nI don't know what an airsoft gun is, and I don't know where Lee's Summit is.  However, if it's not a tank or an "automatic" weapon, or an "assault" weapon, the gun is legal.\n\nHowever, there are some PEOPLE who can't own guns anywhere.\n\nexcon

I would go with either a spyder or a tippman.  I started playing with a Tippmann SL-68II (Pump) and then moved up to a Spyder (Classic).  Both guns are easy to maintain and are durable.  good thing about tippmann is that you can bang it up a tree and still works fine. bad thing about tippman's is the fact that they are heavy.\n\nI would recommend you going with a mech semi instead of a Electronic Semi.  here are the reasons\n\nPros : easy to maintain, easier to troubleshoot.\nCons : doesn't shoot as fast as as E-Semi, harder to troubleshoot & Maintain.\n\nDon't worry about shooting fast right now.  the first thing you should learn is to conserve gas & paint.  those were the lessons that were taught to me by some pros.  when you learn to conserve your gas & paint, it will make you work on your accuracy.  I've been playing for 10+ years and the only time I go trigger happy is when i'm in a tourny.\n\nThe team that the guy meantion about is Tippmann Effect.  Even though they are using 98 Custom, those are modified 98's.  they are lighter and shoot faster than a stock.

Go here, then search for airsoft. Some of their stuff is at good pricing. What you may do, is get something cheaper, and start save the rest. Just add to it when you can and eventually you'll have enough to buy something nicer.

I have an air soft gun, but I think that a paintball gun would be better because you can see where your shot landed and you get to splat things with paint.

Airsoft is similar to paintball but more realistic. Yes there is airsoft games in the Philippines. Here is the official website for Filipino Airsoft www.filairsoft.com

If you were playing some speed ball I would say about 1000 paintballs, and a 20oz tank. It depends on how many games you are playing too. If you were playing woods ball I would cut both numbers in half.

most all paintball markers can run on either co2 or compressed air.  no conversion is required. unless your paintball marker does not have asa connection (screw in for bottles).  then a paintball professional is required

spider is a good one and 98 custom is very popular gun. i have one and i love it. the 98 custom u can change the size of the barrel and also make it look like a m4a1 aka colt carbine. the top of the line guns/markers r bob longs and angels. they have the best accuracy and firing speed but they will range from like $1000-1500+. and also u have a choice of wut gas to use. u have a choice between co2 (carbon dioxide) and also nitrogen. nitrogen imo shoots the paintball faster. u can also have a battery operated reloader. last i checked they were like 35-50. always remember to clean ur paintball gun after use so the 'dirt' from the paintballs doesnt get stuck in the chamber and not shoot.

my older brothers used to play this.\n\nhave one person(not playing) hide 2 or 3 airsoft guns. then the rest of the people must try to find the guns and whoever gets shot "dies"\n\nAnother one is: \nplay tag. instead of flashligh or laser, make it a little more painful and use the airsoft! :)

Airsoft guns are 1:1 Scale replicas of actual firearms, but fire 6mm, round, plastic pellets commonly called as "bb's" which are propelled out of the guns by compressed air.\n\nIn most cases, airsoft guns mimic the looks and functionality of it's real-steel counterpart. By that, meaning airsoft guns look, feel, weigh, and functions similar to the actual firearm. Often, the only way you can tell apart a "real steel" firearm and an airsoft gun is the blazing orange tip and when you pull that trigger .\n\nThe sport of Airsoft has some similarity's to paintball but without the paint.\n\nThe creation of the airsoft electric gun (aeg) is partly responsible for airsoft's "boom" during the late 1990s. Basically, an aeg is powered by an on-board battery (similar to hobby r/c cars), which operates a motor that turns gears inside the gun to compress and release a piston, which in turn creates the blast of air needed to propel the 6mm bb through the barrel of the gun. This system allows the gun to efficiently generate the power needed to support the fully-automatic features of most aegs and the result is a realistic rate-of-fire (rof) of anywhere from 600 - 900 rounds-per-minute (rpm), once again mimicking the capabilities of real steel firearms. This is the airsoft gun of choice for most skirmish veterans.

I disagree about airsoft is cheaper.  An upgraded airsoft gun, could cost up to $1000 or more.  There are low end guns just like paintball guns.  Most of them will start out around $250+ and with full tone upgrades, you could spend about $500 internally, and with any aiming device or scope you added on it will cost you another few hundred, especially if you use scopes or aiming device for the real steel.  However you can start playing with essential equipment, such as: AEG, tactical vest, extra magazines, BBs, battery, charger, face mask or goggle for about $500+\n\nI have played paintball and now I am a hard core airsoft player.  A lots of paintballers have switched to airsoft for its realism and milsim.  Neither is cheap when you choose to play with decent guns and gears.  If you want more realism, then go with airsoft.  They both hurt, if you don't wanna get shot, then duck!  Paintballs are bigger travelling at about 300FPS and stock airsoft AEG (air eletric gun) travels at 280-300FPS using .02gram BBs.  Most players upgraded theirs to 400 to 500FPS depends on their local rules.  500FPS are usually restricted because it's equivlent to 1 joule of energy, which can penetrate skin.  And there are players who got shot up pretty good with BBs fired from a HOT gun.  \nMost games have chorograph device to measure FPS of your AEG or Gas gun.  If your gun runs too hot, then you will not be allowed to play.  It's a saftey issue we have to have be aware of.\n\nPaint bbs are available but airsoft is a true honor system, but we don't use it in airsoft.  You call hit once you get hit and rules are usually set before the game starts.\nPaintballers uniform are usually more colorful especially after they get shot games after games.\nAirsofters uniform are mostly military uniform, depends on the teams.\nBoth require basic protections for the eyes, goggles are MUST!  Full face mask is option for some airsoft games.\n\nI have never bled playing paintball, only bruises.  I had got shot by the eyebrow right between the goggle and helmet and on the nose as well with blood all over my face. So when someone said airsoft doesn't hurt as much, then they probably haven't played that much.  The games I have played are mostly composed of 20 to 50 players in a large boonie field, as well as CQB range.  \n\nIf people said airsoft is cheaper, then they probably get their stuffs from wal-mart.  Check out www.airsoftextreme.com, www.uncompany.com  www.globalairsoft.com or www.wargameclub.com  These shops offer decent prices.\n\nThere will be a lot more for you to know.  Could be overwhelming...

you need practice. i hope when you played on your buddys field his field had a good air bunker set up. playing air ball is a different sport then playing any other type of paintball, especially if your just messing around with your buddies. i played woods ball for about 2 years, than spent about 600 on new equipment once i started playing airball. you must have good equipment, it wont be worth it to go out and get dominated. i hope you have a high end electronic marker with high pressure air. your also going to need electronic hoppers, and most of all, you need to have a harness. you must have atleast enough paintballs for about 3 hoppers full. no use for a front man or back man. you from man will get shot and your backman will get cornered. naturally you guys will be in different positions in the fron or back of the field. if you want to win, take it seriously. I have been playing for about 6 years, and play against Dynasty weekly. Dont be surprised when the guys you play have the best equipment. Lots of people you play will have the top of the line equipment, and it IS a big advantage, next to experience.
