Careful not to discourage the guy now!

He doesn't have to buy it all at once, but yes, airsoft is addicting, and you will soon find yourself spending all your spare cash on new accessories and upgrades, and then you look back and see how much you've actually spent!

a good place to buy most of your stuff other then guns and recievers is ehobbyasia.com all you need is an ebay acount, most of the stuff is fine. camo is cheap, vest are cheap upgrades are good prices. you can pretty get almost everything you need boots, googles, camo , ammo, vest, batts, charger, mags, upgrades(if wanted later, and strongly recomended later on) helmets and some replacement parts. i got what i needed for round $100, thats a vest a set of mags(8 90rnd) and camo.

+1 ehobby is a good online retailer.

Another excellent idea would be to make yourself known to the forums and your area, try to make it out to some games and see what it's all about. If you don't really intend to be that active, see about renting guns for a game, but you should still get your foot in the door and see if this is your kind of fun.

The only things you NEED to play are
1:good charger (or else you'll kill your batteries and have to keep buying new ones)
2: at least one good battery (higher MAH and voltage = longer life and more power, the FAQ has a thing on NiMh and NiCd for you too look at)
3: One AEG. at least a kraken or something CYMA will doo you beautifully.(cheaper guns usually come with a cheap battery that will do you good for a little while)
4: at least one hicap mag (buy more later as needed and 1 usually comes with every gun)
5: goggles or even a full face mask.

That's it, if you get age verified and buy everything from the classifieds on here all that should run you about $300-$450, might even find a $300 used TM.
