Walmart Canada and Canadian Tire have recently started selling some more airsoft guns. Why should someone buy their guns from a place that specialized in airsoft over the sporting goods section of Walmart or Canadian Tire?  
We have a much bigger selection then your local Walmart or Canadian Tire stores, as well as an airsoft range where we are able to fire off our new guns. We have knowledgeable staff in airsoft, where as their employees most likely do not. Perhaps they know about fishing, basketball, treadmills, and exercise bikes, but we specialize in airsoft guns.

Can you offer any tips on airsoft tactics for brand new players? 

Get lots of extra airsoft mags, especially mid-caps. High caps you have to spin the wheel and they can rattle around a lot, giving away your position. There’s been times when I’m playing and people have tried shooting me and all you hear is the gun dry fire, because they forgot to wind their magazines, or didn’t wind it enough. Then they get shot.
Also always have a spare charged airsoft battery, it sucks when your battery dies and you can’t play anymore.

Does camouflage make a big difference in wooded airsoft games? 
Yes it does. If you’re wearing camo it helps you blend into your environment.

What is your favourite airsoft guns currently for sale in Canada? 
My favourite would be the G&G C7A1. It looks very identical to the real C7. It also comes with a very beautiful scope.

What are your favourite G&G airsoft guns? 
I have to go with the C7 again. It’s almost identical to the real thing and it comes with a tri-rail on the front sight as well as a very nice scope.

How does hop-up help?
Hop-up controls the back spin put onto airsoft BBs, allowing it to counteract the force of gravity to increase range and accuracy.

What’s your tactical turn-offs?
Hi-caps, they sound like maracas when you’re running around. Using Tan or desert camouflage in forest areas. or just bad camouflage in general.

What’s your tactical turn-ons?

Guns with a nice sight properly sighted in, and some attachments but not too many.
