Well a knight with shining white head, brought up a good topic for me today SAFETY. Alright kiddies, lets get this shiv shav started. ALWAYS use a gun bag when transporting your weapon from and to a field. if by some chance your stopped by a cop tell him where its located and tell him its a toy in case he decides to search your car, then opens the bag all he sees is a guy with a gun in his trunk, sketchy right? Now for orange tips, they are necessary for transportation by law in most countries! but not when owning in some, so you can take them off, of course find the laws about this based on your country first before you tear that sucker off, but when going to field to field it helps to have a orange tip on it even if its in a gun bag, just in case of the cop scenario! An obvious one, wear eye protection if your under 18 most fields REQUIRE full face protection, a mask or lower mask segment attached to full seal goggles, 18+ you can wear just goggles at your own risk of course. Never and i mean NEVER bring your gun around public areas, for gods sake do you want to get shot? or get airsoft BANNED cause of your ignorance? Finally, when at a field most fields require you to wear "barrel sleeves" when not in action, i have no idea why cause your hand is miles away from the trigger half the time, and its not loaded, and if its an aeg has an unplugged battery, but some fields require. well this is the basics so, go out and have fun!
