    I personally think you should spend a bit more. the gun I use is worth about 500 I was told.

    Depends if this is your first time, how big the event is, etc. If it's just a couple friends, this is okay. If it's actual completitive, you'll need more firepower.

    Airsoft is similar to paintball. They use replica weapons that are usually powered via battery or gas to fire plastic BB's, in a war game type scenario.

    I've played both, paintball is far more my interest. I've spent a fair chunk of change on my gear, and I believe Airsoft can cost just as much for good quality equipment.

    I've played Airsoft once and paintball once. I have to say I liked paintball better, but I never bought my own equipment, so idk :p

    I've been playing for around five years. I post a lot of my games on Youtube, just search for Beaver2206.

    The gun you've listed will get you started, though for $100, there are some great second hand deals out there. Rules are different here in the UK. You can't even buy a gun until you've played at least three games in two months. Then you are awarded a UKARA licence number which means you can purchase guns.

    I am currently shooting an M4 Knights metal body kit with V3 Polarstar Fusion engine (HPA rig system). Airsoft is a total money pit! You'll always want to spend more. This current rig came in at just over £1000, but worth every penny!

    Let us know how you get on.
