Gear

Doomofman

Another silly question that I'm sure gets asked a lot but I figured I'd ask again..

What do people think is necessary equipment to have.. Obviously aside from your AEG and Sidearm...


AEG
Sidearm
Goggles/Facemask
Boots
Gloves
Knee pads
Camo gear
Tac Vest/Webbing

Goggles/facemask. Actually they're MORE important than your AEG/sidearm

Yeah another obvious one.. I'll stick a list of things people suggest in the first post

A sense of honour and humour

Boots...waterproof ones, invaluable when your foot becomes submerged in a

muddy field

Good gloves are useful for saving your hands when scrambling through thorns and nettles. If you can source them the mechanix original gloves are great but any gloves that are comfortable and don't impede your dexterity too much are good to have.

I find knee-pads are great too,

but then again - I'm an old git...:o

Whatever you find comfortable to be honest here is some linkage to the gloves I use although my oakleys are clones I will probably get the proper version soon.

If you are getting a sidearm, a good holster is important. Also a sling for your AEG.

Killinator

ELECTRICAL TAPE!!!!!!!!!
SILICONE OIL!!!!!!!!!

All airsoft problems can be solved with either or a combination of both the above:D:D:D
