If you want to get started with Airsoft but CBA figuring out what you need by yourself, the New Player Bundle is ideal for you!

This bundle includes the Specna Arms SA-C23 CORE™ Gen.2 AEG, one of our most popular M4 platforms known for its great performance-to-price ratio, a 7.4V LiPo Battery and Charger, two extra Mid-Cap Magazines, a Speed Loader, and a 1KG Bag of BBs to get you up and running.

The only thing we have left out is eye/face protection, as this is often a case of personal preference. We recommend the Empire VFORCE™ Armor Full Face Mask if you want an affordable full-face mask; otherwise, you can check out our eye protection and choose your favourite!

If you're gearing up to hit the field, this bundle will save you a few quid! We paired Empire's superb VFORCE™ Armor Full Face Mask with The Original® Gloves from Mechanix, keeping the important parts protected so you can stay aggressive in-game.

Being capable of withstanding paintball projectiles at a far higher muzzle energy than any Airsoft gun, your face has never been safer behind the Empire VFORCE™ Mask. Mechanix' Original® Gloves are a more aggressive take on the typical "tactical" gloves, boasting reinforced materials ideally suited to crawling through thorns and BBs, with a soft backing which takes the sting out of those close-range knuckle shots.

If you're new to the sport and about to hit the field but need the bare essentials, the New Player Protection Pack has you covered!

If you like uniquely styled compact pistols with spray and pray potential, the Armorer Works VX8400 Compact Mod 1 GBB; Full Auto is an excellent choice! This full metal GBB pistol is dressed to impress with a P80-inspired enhanced frame and unique ported slide. For the price, this is one of the best-looking GBB pistols out there in our opinion!

The P80 frame is one of the most popular upgrades for real steel Glocks, offering an undercut trigger guard, extended beavertail and a full 20mm Picatinny frame rail, enhancing ergonomics and offering broader compatibility with flashlights and laser aiming modules. Plus, the full auto switch is always welcome for an extra bit of fun!

The VX8400 is Armorer Works' "compact" offering, ideal for those who want to carry a sidearm which is a bit smaller and lighter than "service pistol" sized platforms but still packs a punch when you need it. Whether it will be your first sidearm or you're smitten by its distinctive looks, the Armorer Works VX8 Compact Mod 1 GBB; Full Auto will definitely treat you right!

If you're hitting the field with an M4 AEG and need affordable gear to complement it, this bundle is ideal! The M4 AEG Shooter Starter Rig includes an 8Fields Tactical MOLLE Plate Carrier Vest w/ Mock Insert and a MOLLE Open Top Double Magazine Pouch For M4/AR-15 in your choice of colour with 2 x 150rnd Mid-cap magazines for M4/AR-15 AEGs from Battleaxe. Please note, you will need a Speed Loader to load these mid-cap magazines, so if you don't have one, make sure you pick one up!

If you want to personalise your new rig, see our range of Morale and ID patches to add a touch of humour and personality. If you need assistance mounting your MOLLE pouch to your plate carrier, check out our MOLLE Guide.
