Just getting started in Barrie

Jinxx · February 8th, 2015, 00:16

Hello everyone,
Last month I took the plunge and decided to get into airsoft this year. I didn't go balls to the wall crazy on my first guns, but I think I did ok for a NOOB. here is the kit I got going so far.

Primary is a G&G GC4 G26 30th anniversary, secondary is a WE f226(I kinda shit the bed on this one- shoulda got a TM), I also got some digital camo, with a condor chest rig, tactical belt, and leg holster. Also a helmet, goggles, and face mask. So far I have got one midcap (G&G), and threw some cheap goodies on the rifle to get me started. All I need now is some boots, gloves, a few more midcaps (it seems that f226 mags are a rare thing), and one or two more batteries, and I'm good to go. I cant wait to get out to a few games and meet some of you.

That's a lot of kit for a months time! If you haven't been age verified do that ASAP so you can see the events that are coming up.

I will be getting AV'd this week for sure.

Congrats.

Getting your airsoft equipment can be expensive and exciting at the same time.
Your in a good location. There are indoor fields for winter play in the GTA, and some outdoor.

For the summer time there is Wasaga and Barrie. Both are paintball locations, but have airsoft on them on the weekends. It alternates locations.

Already mentioned...make sure you get AV'd.

These forums are full of good people and interesting posts.

Hope to see you out on the field this summer.

Cheers

good to see a new player in the area! lots of places to play and many people to play with.

tm p226 mags should work in your f226 (p226 ) we p226 mags arent that rare, i have a few that i run in my tm 226

Awesome, someone else to the north of Toronto!

I'm up in the Muskokas but I'll be headin down to Barrie, and further down to the big smoke to play this year!

Keep an ear open for a funny soundin dude, I'll help you out with TTP's as much as I can.

Jinxx, I literally used that same sling for the last 2 years of my combat postings, it's a good'un!

Welcome to airsoft.

If you dont already have one, a smart charger for your batteries is a good item to have.

Jinxx · February 18th, 2015, 21:10

It's getting there.... I also got AV'd last weekend.

Datawraith · February 19th, 2015, 17:32

Pretty sweet kit for a beginner. Quick question though, is your pattern DESPAT/AR-CADPAT? Cause if so, and the rest of your gear is OD, that is strange as hell, no offense. :P

Jinxx · February 19th, 2015, 20:08

The bdu's are digital camo in tan, everything else is tan/ coyote. I have plans fr some Multicam though as well as a 6094 style plate carrier

skalnok · February 19th, 2015, 20:48

Multicam works great in the Barrie area.

Have you been into sir games a lot or Canada wide airsoft yet?

Jinxx · February 19th, 2015, 21:30

I am usually in CWA a few times a week, at least to visit if not to make a purchase

Datawraith · February 19th, 2015, 22:38

Oh nice. I've been wanting to get a nice set of DESPATs but can't justify the cost... I just mentioned cause your pic makes the rest of your gear look like OD instead of coyote. Annnnnd cause DESPAT doesn't mix well with OD. That is a nice tan loadout then for indoor CQB, but yeah, get some MC for outdoor; Coyote goes nice with it.

skalnok · February 19th, 2015, 23:07

the guys in CWA are awesome, you're in good hands then

cant wait to see you on the field.
