There are people who would be able to give you much better advice than me on here... but I shall get the ball rolling...! Welcome to MOA Kai! First and foremost MOA is a place to have a laugh, get shot, shoot people, make friends, get shot, learn how to avoid being shot, behave like a kid in a sweet shop when you see all the shiny things and most importantly go home with a huge smile on your face!
As to what you need to start of with... here is a simple list to give you an idea, a sturdy set of boots, some form of tough clothing, I.e. a set of DPMs, new is never necessary as they are gonna get very dirty :P a sense of humour and yourself :) MOA should be able to provide everything else you need to have a great day!

Hey Kai,

Just to re-iterate what Ryan said, welcome to MOA... I have been airsofting for a long time now and been to a lot of different sites. MOA may not have the biggest site but what it lacks in size it makes up in personality....

Nowhere in the UK will you find a more friendly bunch. except for ginger luke... avoid him at all costs......

I could wax lyrical about how people always take there hits, how everyone is fair.. but i would definately suggest you come and see for yourself...

Just to put any fears you may have to rest. Dont worry about not having the "best" kit etc... it makes very little difference, having the self discipline to watch an area if you have been asked to and enthusiasm always more than makes up for a lack of experience.

To give you an idea of how the day works...

We arrive and chat roses for 30 mins while we have a Brew (made by Cath) and wait for everyone to get thier roses together.
Games normally start at about 9:30 / 10am...
We do a variety of different games, from short attack / defend games to long winded patrols or hostage rescues etc...
Dont worry about being out for ages,... this aint that painball crap.... in my opinion the very best bit of airsoft as screaming medic at your mates or just some random dude on your team.... and watching them sprint out of the nice fat bit of cover into a hail of bb's to try to rescue you :) :) :)

We also have explosives and caths cooking... which is sometimes one and the same... :) :) so expect to see screening smoke, and 150 decibel grenades being thrown in your direction....

Best way i can describe it is.... Like being on exercise but without any of the bullshit that goes with it..

Hopefully ill see you soon and you can see for yourself.... :) :)

J
