Prices for XT are on their site
3) airsoft is better than paintball!

welcome to the site, first off air soft in the long run will cost you way more then peanut butter! this is a sport witch is on the whole based on MilSim, is it fun? Hell Yeah theres nothing like stocking your enemy and putting a bb between his eyes! as for costs to play indoors at xt you azre looking at somthing around the 30 to 40 doller per game with full rentals, cheeper if you got your owne stuff. for out doors if you come and and play with the maa and have your owne gear for skrims its 2 bucks and some of the ops cost more to play. you should come out and see FNG day held buy the MAA for more info check out www.mb-airsoft.com

oh yeah and r there tourneys or fun stuff like that were a 100 ppl show for a full day of shooting each other? adn lastly weres the best place to pick up a gun?

thanks guys

Seeing as this is the XT Forums, I will tell you about the events XT holds.

XT does do outdoor games, and starting next hear will hold large ops at the outdoor field. There is the CQB league indoors (during winter typically), and last year there was over 50 people who joined the league.

And as for gun sales, sorry kiddo. You won't get that info out of any XT Staff, off the website or these forums, and certainly not from going to XT and asking.

Ouch. I resemble that remark! {:

We can, however, tell you what to expect if you do decide to outfit yourself fully for airsoft.
A good skirmish-ready rifle will run you at least $500. Additional magazines will run you another ~$50 each. So let's say you want an additional four to allow play at XT without reloading, thats another $200. (NB: Not all guns come with standard capacity mags so you probably will need to buy a full four.) You'll then need some kind of load bearing gear to hold your mags since the side pockets of your cargo pants are not going to cut it when the shit really hits the fan and you need to reload. Battery? $50 each. Battery charger? Another $100.
Add all of that up (and this is assuming that you only want to play indoors where protective equipment is provided and you don't need good boots or camouflage) and we're at about the same price point as starting in PB except for two things.
1.) The fact that a paintball 'gat' is a paintball 'gat' whereas an airsoft gun can be an assault rifle or a sniper rifle or a shotgun or a submachine gun. Want to perform a different role on the battlefield? You probably need a new gun.
2.) The upgrade bug. That lovely new gun doesn't quite look right without a new RDS/scope/laser/grenade launcher/vertical grip/kitchen sink. "My rifle doesn't quite get the FPS/range/accuracy I wanted. Now I need to sink some money into upgrades."
I'm oversimplifying here but you get the idea.

PLease also keep in mind that to play at XT, you must use XT Mags when available. So if you buy a gun that uses M15, AK, or MP5 mags - we have you covered.

To play at XT it is not necessary to buy your own mags.
