Hello all

[GreyFox132]

I'm a new member here and I,m very interested in getting into airsoft. I was just wondering if there are any wars/games going on near Barrie Ontario, sorry im not sure what they are actually called. I was also wondering what the average cost would be to play the game. And is it anything like paintball?

Yep, quite a bit. Check out the postings in the 'Regional' area, that should give some more information.

lol thanks a lot how much would it cost to rent a gun and gear and such? problem is that i work on Saturday till around 11pm i might be able to make it to the dog soldiers one tho. Also is there any way to get a JG or BE sl8? thats the gun style that i would really love to use, but i am having troubles finding it anywhere in Canada >_<

Rentals aren't from fields, but from players with extra gear. I've seen them go for 20$ to 50$ for a game, usually including some or all BBs. Check with the locals for more details.

For the few games I attended, total cost was anywhere between 10$ and 75$, all in.

As for cheaper guns, no one imports them at a price that makes it worth it right now. If you are on a budget, get age verified and browse the classifieds. Absolute bare minimum initial investment is 400$, but aim for at least 600$ to 800$ to have a decent setup.

Also, some users make irregular gun orders from overseas at a nice discount. Again, check the classifieds.

Invest in some good eye protection.

Most guns I know of for rent are usually of the Armallite and Mp5 variety (I think TAC3 has a P90). As was mentioned, nobody in Canada can import the cheaper guns at a cost that makes them a viable alternative, and I highly doubt someone will rent you a $1,000 STAR SL-8. You might be able to find a G36 though.
