Sup dudes. Been a hot minute.
My first game was at age 16. My first gun was a springer bought from Tru when I was 15. I'm turning 33 in 3 days. Airsoft has changed so much over the years but one thing I can tell you is that the friendships made in this silly little game will last a fucking life time.

I've got you beat on the shit head minor-o-meter. I was 14 when I attended my first game at FR Cambridge. I suppose I lucked out with my age/appearance. I looked old enough to be 18 at 14 and now at 30 I apparently look young enough to still be thought to be under 19 quite often.
My first gun was a full metal KJW M9 with 3 mags total. I actually did pretty damn well for using only a pistol on an outdoor field.
Fuck sakes did that gun ever teach me the meaning of 'pot metal' though. From day one it had a mysterious jagged white line across the outer barrel. Nothing came of it until one night I was firing it off in my basement "range" and the barrel exploded with half of it flying down range. It severed precisely along the white line.
God damn airsoft has been a part of my life for over half of it now in some way although my last actual game was in 2009 I believe. I still have my TM SPAS 12 with what I think is one of the - if not the last (as it went out of stock after forever) - original folding stocks from Redwolf and my beloved full metal/upgraded to tits chrome TM/Guarder Desert Eagle, locked away.
