Goggles that seal to the face and preferably paintball approved, a airsoft gun of any sort and a killrag. A radio is nice and I recommend that everyone carries one but it's not manditory. Oh a good attitude can go a long way as well, hope to see you out there.

goggles, gun, bb's, kill rag,

and a can do attitude!

I'm looking to come June 1st aswell, first time playing airsoft. Will two 1200mAh Lipos last me the entire day or should I buy another?

Energy consumption is a function of shooting style, battery chemistry and weather.

what JSAE is trying to say is that YES for the love of god yes. x2 1200 mah lipo's will definitely last you all day.

rule of thumb, expect to get 1-2.5 shots per MAH from a battery.

i have gone through an entire gameday with my 11.1v 1200 mah battery. shot roughly 8 midcaps and still had just over 80% battery life.

Eight Midcaps in a day isn't a lot of shooting, Gunny.

Would he still be OK with the one battery if he's more trigger-heavy than that?

1 to 2 shots per mAh would mean he could realistically shoot 2 to 4 highcaps per battery, but that assumes full depletion of the battery. Will that kill the LiPo or will it become ineffective before dropping below the threshold that overdrains the battery?

Should I be careful to not fully deplete the battery? Does it cause damage? I've heard of battery alarms for voltage below 3. Thanks for the insight guys.
