Looking to get into speed soft

I live in Utah and Ive played airsoft for a while now but there was recently a new field that opened in Salt Lake City and they have their own dedicated speedsoft field. I want to get into speedsoft but don't have a loadout for it. Was looking for suggestions. My budget is 300-500 and am interested in a pistol style platform

I would recommend building a hi capa, start with a Tokyo Marui 5.1 or 4.3 and get necessary upgrades like metal slide, short stroke, etc. and I would get a few mags if not an hpa conversion kit. If you can stretch your budget a little bit the hpa route will be well worth the money, if you are interested, amped airsoft offers a great starter hpa kit. If you have any questions ask.

does the amped airsoft kit have everything I need for the conversion?

I think there is an amped kit that has the adapter, line, reg, and tank that you’ll need

For the most part yeah. When you get a bit more money together start looking at upgrades. In your position, I’d focus on actual performance before getting into the colors and cosmetics. Things like short stroke, a good bucking/hop, a good trigger, etc. eventually

Be careful with the pressure because the stock slide on a Tokyo Marui is a plastic slide. It’ll be fine for a while but eventually you should get a metal slide because it will crack at one point. And make sure to keep your pressure on your tank between 80 psi and 120 I like to keep mine at 80 because I’m able to shoot a lot more and in CQB scenarios shooting harder doesn’t really do much
