As of December last year we're allowed auto:)

-Just don't try and bring any of your guns into the country when you come without contacting police first, you'll need an import permit (and be a member of a club).

I'm sure people will be happy to see a link to your channel or something:)

Hi There. Total newbie here. I've played paintball for a little while but am looking for a new hobby. I've been reading up on Airsoft and the Auckland club. I've checked out the FB page and liked the photo's/video's on there.

I see there's an open game coming up which I'd like to try and attend - depends on whether I have that weekend free. I already have camo pants/shirt and molle vest so I guess I'm part way there.

Hi everyone,

My names Jarred and I've been dabbling with the idea of playing airsoft for a few months. Finally decided to do something about it. Trying to con a few mates into giving it a go as well.

Was figuring I'd pop along to the induction game on the 16/08 if it's on and I'm welcome. Is there anything special I need to do with regards to payment etc? Wanted to play a few games before I bite the bullet and buy gear/register.

Welcome Jarred

Have a look at this link - it has information which may help in answering some of your questions :

http://www.airsoftauckland.co.nz/forum/index.php?page=induction

Best thing for payment is to bring Cash but check with DS running the game - Chibt

Cost/Prices:

$15 for Non ASA Members.

$20 for rental gun
$20 for bag of bb's

There should be some masks for new players to use

The link below is for the next induction on the 16/08 and is an Open Event so anyone can come along.

Hope this helps!

Hi Apple,

Thanks very much. Will have a read when I'm home. I've fired him a PM so will wait for a response. Is there a guide you'd recommend anywhere as to what to look for in an Airsoft gun? Would like to read up so I can buy if/when I'm ready. Just getting a lot of conflicting info from the internets

try this

as usual grain of salt applies, use your common sense because everyone is allowed/entitled to say what they think on the internet. come to the game and make up your mind, and number 1 rule is you get what you pay for

RapeWhistle · « **Reply #1111 on:** August 02, 2014, 08:34:46 AM »

Awesome link, thanks for that. What are the open nights at Armoury like if I head up one night after work? I think I'd prefer open field than CQB but keen to do both.

As a fairly recent new player (started attending games around Feb/March) I have tried both Outdoor and some games at the Armory. After playing outdoor with the ASA I really didn't feel that the Armory games had the same level of running standards from the Organisers; it didn't feel as fluid or receptive to getting new players briefed and ready, the hire guns (at the time, may well be better now) were also very unreliable (probably due to the huge amount of use they must get).
Whilst you may need to travel further for the outdoor games, you definitely get value for money (10.00am - 3pm + is a good session), the organisation is always of high standard and I have found many of the seasoned players will generally help new people get into it.

I myself still haven't purchased a primary weapon, and choose to get my Camo's, and secondary first and try out different hire guns each induction or game and see what i liked/didnt.

As well as talking to different players at the fields for information about them for when I did come to purchase my primary.

Thanks for that response Psycho. I've been reading up on guns so I have some idea of what to look out for on the day. Planning on buying a mask/goggles/gloves pretty early. Just can't decide on whether to go lower half mask/goggles or a one piece. Definitely a fan of Milsim so likely to go split and deal with fogging/unfogging as it unfolds...

Hey Snapfrozen

For goggles - I recommend either Guarders or ESS, really good for airsoft. Once you get them, CatCrap is your best solution for antifog, get it of ebay, works like a treat.

Look forward to seeing you on the field

I went half mask and googles at least for now. The mesh half face mask seems to fit pretty well and has good ventilation. I just got a pair of googles that come with interchangeable lenses that are really study and don't tend to fog up much at all unless I stop moving after being on the go for a good period of time.

Cheers guys.

Been having a look at kiwi disposals, armory and asgc. Anywhere I can get reasonable goggles/lower mask otherwise? Really wanting a multicam pattern but looking like USA might be my best option.

RapeWhistle · « **Reply #1118 on:** August 08, 2014, 07:14:51 AM »

Awesome. Thought that would be the case. Shippings expensive so I'll buy a few things at once to save some cash.

Thanks for all the help. Hope to see some of you on the 16th

Budgie here,

Played a season in Hong Kong and two in Japan (ten years apart). Wrong side of forty now but willing to give it a go when I get back to AKL.
