There are plenty of places to get guns, however, I would highly suggest getting Age Verified first. There are countless of FAQs that I would highly suggest you read. You will be spending money in this sport so doing a little background research is not such a bad idea.
Also, as most of the FAQs suggest, an airsoft sniper rifle is not for people who are just starting off or for their first gun. It's just not practical. You can ALMOST get the same range, consistency, and accuracy with an AEG (Automatic Electric Gun) with minimal upgrades. For a sniper rifle, you will need to put a LOT more money into it to have it on par or more accurate/consistent/etc than an AEG. Plus, if you want to use sniper rifles that shoot faster, farther, etc, you need to attend sniper clinics and be certified to use certain bolt action rifles. I can see the attraction towards sniper rifles for a newbie because I too started airsofting not too long ago (Probably a week or so ago). However, I would highly suggest an AEG. |

2. No matter how mature you are, you are still underaged. Airsoftis an adult activity. The mature thing to do is to wait until you turn 18.

My suggestion, wait until your 18. However, yes, some games allow you to play if you're 16, but that is only if a parent is playing as well. |

Talk to some of the game hosts, if you are lucky they might let you play or maybe just stop by and talk with some of the local folk.
Much easier talking with people in well, person

Airsoft can be terribly expensive, don't look at this as a year to wait. Look at it as an opportunity to learn about the sport, read reviews and above all save money for your chosen kit.
Heck airsoft by proxy can suck, but at least when you can come to the table you will be armed with an approximation of what to expect and a reasonable understanding as to the rules. |

As far as i know, paintball is also 18+ but you can get your parents/guardians permission by getting them to sign a wavier...I could be wrong. It's been acouple years since the last time i played it.

Airsoft does cost a LOT of money. You might just think the gun is expensive but so is the gear! |
