What gear to use?
First of all, the kit you want to get depends on your budget. If you are low on budget, then you either might want to save up for some time, or just rent stuff from your skirmishing site. This can be quite expensive but usually they give you a gun you can stand up against all other skirmishers with, a bottle of bb's and eye protection. But if you want to save money in a long-term, then getting your own equipment is essential. Below you will find our guide on what gear we recommend you to buy, all depending on your budget, and preferences.

Other Information
Be careful not to overcharge the battery! Every 30mins check the battery to see how hot it is. If it is warm then it's ready. If it is hot, unplug it immediatly!

Also the B500 Magazine has a standard entry for the pellets. That means you can use it for more expensive guns (like the ones recommended below)
