Hey! xD (I do agree on this for most people though) My answer isn't helpful because I started a long time ago and haven't actually changed much. For me it's mostly just knowledge on manufacturers that would stop being available, like Tanaka Works and Western Arms. I wish I could've bought some of their stuff while it was still sold outside of Japan... I think for actual useful stuff it'd be that modern kit =/= good kit. My US Vietnam belt kit is amazing, but it's very much an old design; not a strip of molle in sight! Edited March 30, 2023 by Impulse Tactical Pith Helmet 1

Tactical Pith Helmet Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Use what works where and how you play. My battle belt/webbing rig is a horrible mixed camo mutoid thing that works very well thanks. It cost less than £20 and serves well for skirmishes and post apocalyptic games. The solid no frills CYMAs and G&Gs do the same. Keep it functional and simple is the essential thing.

Popular Post Duff Beer Posted March 31, 2023 Popular Post Posted March 31, 2023 If I could do anything I’d go back and make myself buy the expensive things once, rather than the cheaper version before then buying the expensive thing. The old adage of ‘buy cheap, buy twice’ is definitely true and if I had just committed first time round I’d probably have saved 30% in the long run. As has been said before, decent eyepro and decent footwear is a must and the amount of money spent is directly proportionate to the comfort and utility. Carry an IFAK, and definitely make sure it’s got burn gel in it! A proper kydex or Safariland holster on a UBL is infinitely better than anything on a drop-leg rig. Universal holsters are universally average. Oh, and buy the proper Odin Speedloader not the knock-offs. SSPKali, Rogerborg, Ste Unit and 2 others 4 1
C-Diddy Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Good eyepro, good boots, good socks, in that order. Talk to experienced players on game days and take every piece of advice with a grain of salt. Above all, have fun, play your way and be honest.

I made a video saying (essentially) that when starting, don't buy el-cheapo bolt-action just get a regular old AEG to have the best chance of being able to properly engage in the game. This was around 10 years ago, maybe even more. I still get a youtube notification every couple of months of someone being incredibly salty about it - 'wahh you said the opposite of what I did here's an insult with nothing to back up my claims'.

n00b1982 Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 Good eye pro and footwear is infinitely more important than buying the most expensive gun you can find. Dont go to YouTube if you want an honest gun review. If you want to know what gun to buy, go to a good retailer and get hands on with them. Everyone can tell you what they think, but if you don’t like it it doesn’t matter how well it performs. JustMark and Rogerborg 2
FMairsoft33 Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 I know I'm late to this and it might have been said but military surplus is an absolute godsend, especially if you don't care about having the most hi-tec kit. You can easily get everything except from the gun from a surplus store; clothing, boots, carrying etc for under £100, and because it's military surplus it should last for ages.

Car boots for those that live outside of the big smoke.... Another excellent source of kit.
