As with any sport, or pretty much anything in life...the single MOST important part of it is SAFETY. SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY!! Without the proper equipment and guidelines, Airsoft can be a very dangerous activity. Think about it, what is Airsoft...little plastic balls being shot out of guns at very high speeds with the intention of hitting you...if that doesn't spell out danger than I dont know what does! Since people are trying to hit you with the bb's, the best way to protect yourself is to make sure all areas of your body are covered and protected. Obviously, and probably most importantly, you want to protect your eyes...a high speed plastic bb lodged in your eye is a great recipe for a case of permenant blindness. As a general rule of safety, and even more just a common courtesy...NEVER AIM TO SHOOT SOMEONE IN THE HEAD OR THE FACE...it's just mean and rude, aim for the body, a much safer area! Also, never shoot at someone who is not playing airsoft or aware of the rules or what to expect. Never hang out in the woods and shoot at people just walking who have nothing to do with Airsoft...not only is it illegal, but it's just plain mean...don't give other airsoft gun owners a bad name...so with that being said, wear protective equipment and play by the rules!!!!

This is a great topic and one that often gets overlooked. Probably one of the biggest safety gear items that every airsofter needs is good eyewear, and its worth the investment to get good gear if you play all the time.
Personally, I wear either my Revision Bullet Ant goggles, or the WileyX XL-Advanced goggle, which has my prescription lenses built into it, and I actually wear those as my everyday sunglasses, too. I also have a pair of ESS shooters.
For full-face protection, nothing beats my Save Phace mask. It’s the best mask I’ve ever worn. I know people who’ve gotten teeth knocked out from a BB, so masks are a good thing.
I would also add that a pair of padded or armored gloves is good for CQB games. Getting hit in the knuckles at close range stings quite a bit. Knee pads are also a good idea. I love my Alta knee pads.

Cheap airsoft guns for sale fit the budget of nearly all airsoft gun owners. Airsoft sniper rifles are some of best airsoft guns. They are quite powerful and when outfitted with a quality airsoft scope, they keep me one step ahead of the competition. Also, I always make sure to stay stocked up with plenty of airsoft bb's.
