Whats your typical loadout and setup when you go into the field for a round of Airsoft?
For example, ill breakdown what I utilize:
Clothes: -BDU shirt and pants, either woodland or urban pattern (green/brown or gray/white/black)
- boonie hat that matches the uniform or a gray flexfit baseball hat.
- black or forest camo pattern or coyote brown Mechanix glove (fit great, good tactile feel)
- Surplus brown paratrooper boots (which by the way are nearly impossible to find for my enormous feet, cant be picky about color)
- grey or brown tshirt
Harness/Pack:
- Surplus Individual Integrated Fighting System with the integrated Tactical Load Vest, EQ Belt and Combat/Patrol light pack (Deleted the canteen holder, just added a bunch of magazine pouches and harnesses for various items)
- Drop Leg Pistol holster (dunno who made it, but it works)
- Israeli type thigh medical holster (double as a medic)
- Ankle pistol holster
Equipment:
- Camelback (worn under the combat patrol pack)
- Leatherman Multi-tool (BEST friend if you ever have a breakdown)
- some spare parts for all firearms (again, you never know)
- black green and brown facepaint (I typically don't paint up until I actually see the operating area)
- Bad Boys type safety glasses (yes I know its kind of stupid not to use a full mask, bite me)
- 1 roll of black duct tape (most useful tool ever)
- 1 spool of light test fishing line (this stuff is great for tripwire)
- 1 set of small binoculars
- 1 multi-channel radio with headset
- 2 Bandanas, one Red, one Green (have a few uses which I wont get into)
- Multiple spare batteries for AEGs
Weapons and ammo:
Primary Arm- modified STAR M-14 SOPMOD AEG (higher-power scope, bipod, 6 spare clips (amazing gun, just pure amazing)
OR
modified STAR G36C AEG with dot reflex sight and AG36 Springer attachment, variable number of spare large magazines and at least one double drum magazine plus variable number of grenade rounds (love tactical flexibility)
backup primary: One unmodified STAR UMP AEG (another fine gun)
-Secondary Arms
One Tokyo Marui USP AEG, no modifications (shoots great by itself) in drop holster, 3 spare magazines
and
Tanaka S&W .38 Special (Snubnose) green gas, 1 reload, ankle holster(PAIN in the rear, but its a weapon of last resort)
Utility arm-
Maruzen ca870 (extreme sawn off pistol grip Rem. 870) springer, right side of pack (surprisingly useful in tight situations and loads of fun!)
- 2 Escort Claymores with remote trigger, gas powered, usually loaded with 50 or more BBs and Talcum Powder (LOVELY surprise for the unwary)
-5 Escort MkII Green Gas Grenades (some or all can be replaced if AG36 is being used)
So thats mine, and im not posting this to be intimidating or anything. Yes its a lot to carry, but ive developed it to suit my needs and playing style. It may seem wasteful, but ive learned how to use it in my own way.
So how about you guys, what do you use and why? I feel that we should bounce ideas off of each other, maybe come up with new things.
