Shopping list

Bestec · July 31st, 2006, 18:20

Ok guys, in a short period of time, im joining an airsoft club, and i need some gear, so i made a shopping list at un company.
If any of u can spot stuff i dont need/ need, please, post it

Im buying camo jacket and pants in my local hunting store, that way, i know i get the right sizes and stuff

Amgoosen · July 31st, 2006, 18:24

Looks good to me, maybe one or two more midcaps would be a good idea.

gandar · July 31st, 2006, 18:26

Looks decent, but double check in your area, I know Denmark, as well as a few other places in Europe require full faced paintball masks, just wouldn't want you to drop $48.00 on a pair of goggles you can't use.

Extra battery is never a bad buy, same for a battery charger of good quality.

FNG · July 31st, 2006, 18:27

Are you going barefoot?

Bestec · July 31st, 2006, 18:35

@gandar: no need for paintball masks here

im buying balaclava and a nice woodland camo hat in my local hunting store
@Greylocks: Ill think of the battery thing. I allready have a decent charger

@FNG: Got a pair of 300$ high hiking shoes, so no problem there

btw, when it is spawning sites and all that, do i really need the backpack thing? If there are longer missions, i could just use a backpack or something couldnt i?

Btw here is another suggestion, maybe i should go whit this instead?

Drake · July 31st, 2006, 18:45

Ok, a few things...

First, "the backpack thing" you're referring to is a hydration system (like Camelback), not a backpack. Do you want a backpack or a hydration system?

Secondly, the vest (which looks like a sort of TT TAC-1A rifleman vest knockoff, except with PALS webbing on the pack) has 6 double mag pouches (so 12 mags) and you're adding a sort of subload mag carrier... but unless you already have mags, you'll have 1 locap + 2 midcaps...?

The kneepads, I suggest getting real kneepads, since they'll be protecting real knees from real abuse. Dunno how good the KA ones are. I like Altas myself. Maybe someone else can comment on the KA kneepads.

Bestec · July 31st, 2006, 18:49

well, if u look at the last pic, i removed the extra mag pouch.
and yeah i knew it was a camelback, just didnt remember then name of it lol:P
Ill look at other kneepads too

Here is some info on the vest:

Guarder SEAL 2000 Modular Tactical Vest
Color: Olive Drab
Material: DuPont 1000-Denier CORDURA
Package Including: six M16 single mag pouches, two utility pouches, one double pistol mag pouch and one tactical belt.

And, i decided to go for 4 extra mid-caps, so im at 1 lo-cap and 4 mid caps

Knee pads are good to have, Alta or Hatch ... just make sure you get ones that fit you well. I have a pair of Hatch but I may have to buy larger ones since they are a bit tight which is uncomfortable.

As for those gloves, please don't bother with those shitty armour style Brass Eagle paintball look-a-like gloves. They are really not needed. If you want gloves get something else ... anything else, even a pair of mittens.

Bestec · July 31st, 2006, 19:06

ah ok, thanks man

any special gloves u think of? maybe you can take the time and find some good ones at www.uncompany.com for me?

would be great

Trader rating · July 31st, 2006, 19:37

ill just toss in
it looks like your looking to get the TM M16. Im sure you know already, but just incase, the TM armalites have incredibly bad barrel wobble and the plastic body doesnt last long. If your budget allows, I suggest going the route of a full metal G&P, CA, or ICS armalite. They may cost more then the TM, but its cheaper in the long run since sooner rather then later your going to need to get a metal reciever.
With CA, G&P and ICS armalites shipping with solid internals(metal bushings in all latest models), solid recievers and frontends that are solid as a rock...its a good investment.

I'd still pass on those split mechbox ICS's ...
