What am I missing?

Definitely a good large padded 2 points sling, carrying that chunk of rail around will be painful..

Absolutely get something to protect your mouth! If you don't like mesh masks you can always use a shemagh..

The billiard doesn't go all the way through because

1) you're throwing it at a rather slow speed

2) the blanket dissipates the energy by being large.

A bb will go through a scrim scarf every single time because it has holes and compared to the billiard/blanket example, it hits at a much higher velocity.. Even if it doesn't go through it still has enough energy to hit your teeth and break them..

Sling is not essential. Very useful for sure. By game 2 I realised my inner arm ached from lugging the rif about.

But if you're renting you'll need to pick a sling that can attach to the gun. For example I couldn't attach an Magpul MS3 clip onto a G36 as the clip was too big. Probably the same on an MP5. So not all slings fit all guns. MS2 seems to be the one to fit everything I've tried so far, M4, AK, MP3 and G36.

Looks like ill pick up a lower face mask. The breaking teeth doesnt sound too good lol

 
And a good comfy pair of Boots. That was one of the first things I was advised, besides the face mask and goggles lol

 
It won't protect your teeth. Try a lower face balaclava with one of the small mesh panels stuck in the inside.

Issue easily solved by 2 pieces of paracord

 
in regards to the face mask , my local sites are all fairly cqb based and getting shot in the head point blank {does happen in certain situations} is not nice! which is why i changed from regular face mask over to a fencing style mask  , which covers the whole head , i run a ghille balaclava over it , the mesh  offers good ventilation  over something like a shemage and the mesh can be formed/bent by hand to your face on your scope side so you can still use a scope nicely ,  i would also purchase a large foam packed gun case {atleast a double gun not single!}  has to be big! mines a double and carrys my main , my pistol , all mags , scope and bits n bobs , so handy just being able to close it and throw it in the car or open it up on site + its water proof and nothing can move around inside when closed ..

Wow! I did not think someone would use a fencing mask. Very creative!

 
It's not actually a dedicated fencing mask, just similar in style..

Lol, clicked it and felt silly afterwards XD
The fact we get so used to being spoonfed info through links nowadays is scary sometimes.

Thanks for reminding me to use my brain for a change  :D

 
depends where you're playing?  Northern Sweden in January... no.  Arizona desert in August... yes.

a shirt will be fine when playing providing you move around, you'll obviously need some kind of fleece/jacket when not playing though.
