We used to refer to it as the "airsoft thousand", basically gets everything you need to start playing. It's gone down in recent years to around $750 due to AEG's being cheaper.
You can play for less, but this is including gear, boots, good glasses, ammo, mags, gun cases etc.

BACK IN MY DAY shit was goddamn expensive. And I mean shit. A base model classic army M4 with handguards was $600!
A CA 249 was around $1200, and the G&P was a whopping $2000
Buddy of mine bought a TOP M60 from ranger airsoft with the conversion from bellows to piston and it was like $3500! For the world's shittiest M60 lol

Anyway I've spent thousands on guns and gear. And up until I bought my second PTW I spent more on gear than guns.
My UCP loadout alone was around $1500, but it included the sleeping kit, a point blank OTV, the new style goretex top and bottom, and everything else was 100% real steel UCP acquired before the export ban.
Multicam around $900

Changing camo becomes much more difficult as you get more gear. A plate carrier runs $600-$1000 with pouches....
