Excuse the typos my phone dosent seem to comprehend well the letters I type im sure you can hopefully piece what im trying to say together !

If you're after some input this'd be mine.
The vest looks like Italian Vegetato, certainly not anything US Army related but then airsoft retailers have a bad habit of mis-labeling stuff. MOLLE (or PALS to be more accurate) isn't complicated or expensive, check out the Warrior stuff and BULLE gear on UK Tactical and Flecktarn.co.uk respectively. You can get a basic chest rig for not much money, indeed often less money then some of the f*****g absurd prices that some airsoft shops charge for poorly made copies of obsolete designs of load-bearing gear items.
That DPM shirt is some weird looking knock off stuff, get yourself on ebay and buy surplus if you want anything brit issue, it's comparatively cheap and mostly good quality (certainly CS95 stuff is, most of the new PCS cut stuff wont be as hardy overall). Not sure what that smock is but they're good for carrying lots of stuff like food and lights and navigation/survial gear and not particularly useful for your average sunday game of running about in the woods, you'll hardly ever see anyone wear one; 100% not appropriate for indoor CQB too. Get yourself a decent combat shirt/UBACS, particularly when the summer comes around you'll soon understand the desire for having the absolute minimum of material under your rig; the current PCS/MTP issued UBACS is IMO the best option for airsoft (including all the really expensive mega gucci s**t).
Not sure there is such a thing as a TM VSR 'copy' that uses gas, but hopefully someone who's more knowledgeable on bolt guns that me can comment on that. Ghillies are damn hot so if you're gonna go the 'sniper' route just be aware of its' limitations, it's a very specific niche in an airsoft game.
Personally I'd dump a ton of stuff off that M16 cause it looks damn heavy. 40mm shells aren't very common because fun as they are, the usefulness vs weight ratio isn't good overall; some folks like 'em but you don't see them all that often for a reason. You might have the inclination to drape all sorts of lights and lasers on that forend, but I'd advise against it. I've been there, done that, so have many other people.. just... skip that step, save yourself the time and effort, you'll most likely realise the problems with it soon enough. I mean heck if you're a massive body builder then maybe it'll feel like nothing in your hands, but otherwise but as little as possible on the forend of your guns. I'd recommnd dropping the UGL, fitting a low-profile gas block and putting on some nice plastic handguards, your arms will thank you greatly after a few hours. Again if you've skirmished this already then just ignore me, but if you haven't.. well give it a go and you'll probably see what I mean.
Internet forum disclaimer:
Everything's subjective, everything's about what the user wants in terms of looks and function in both guns and gear. I'm not ragging on anything anybody uses in any way. Just some advice based on experience gained through wasting a lot of time and a lot of money on kit/accessories etc that I've ended up not actually liking.
I'd agree not a US Army vest, well not anything they wear these days, I'd say its mthatsitsly if not all about plate carriers and those sort of chest rigs. That definitley looks like shady DPM of the british ex issue kind anyway, As CKinnerley said get on ebay or find your nearest surplus shop there more than likely to stock a generous amount of cs95 dpm as its now for the use of deployment and anything for the british obseletebritishearing certain things like cadets or maybe training excersises.MTP is the way forward in my opinion and its much better made the pockets are a lot better and the whole design.Ubacs are a good shout though or a good tactical hoodie for its cold at the minute.
As anything it's personal preference and if your happy with your gear then good for you dude ! Its nice to have advice of the guys on here.

Because Bohemia Airsoft was the only place I could find spare mags for my souped up UHC AKS74U, I bought a few spare mags from there, but as an experiment, I also added another UHC AKS74U, in 'RIF' black with a brown front grip to my order, to see if I got any hassle importing a RIF from the Czech Republic. I asked them to put my UKARA on the packaging, which they did, although they accidentally put another 'zero' in the number lol, however, it seems Customs were satisfied anyway, so I can now officially recommend Bohemia Airsoft as an okay place to buy from. So below is a link to their website. Service was excellent incidentally, they emailed me in English with a query about my order, and I replied in what was probably badly translated Czech lol, so their communication was good, and prices are good too (everything you see in the pic below totalled 54.67 quid), although you do need to use a converter to determine the Sterling equivalent of prices even on their English version of their website, as it does not go to the extent of converting those, although it does tell you at the top of their website that '1 EUR =
27.610
CZK', as a rough guide. So props to Bohemia Airsoft's main person - Jan:http://airsoftshop.cz/index.php/language/EN?osCsid=bp9hkp1ero6hseqgp3j40ta9o6
Anyway, here's 'what I just bought' out of the big box it came in:
Yeah, I know, I've got too many AKs lol. But it does make my wall look cool.
Just for clarification I went onto Bohemia airsoft website and when I came across the weapons I was looking at the prices had a decimal point after the first number I.e 7.511 kc. I checked the currency exchange and 1 GBP is worth 35 kc so am I seeing this right are these airsoft rifles actually cheap as chips ? Or am I reading it wrong ?

Fabsil the best a man get....to waterproof
-
A friend recommended getting some Fabsil to waterproof my MTP shock and such things, he used it on a flectarn shirt and the water just bounced off so definitely need to get some I've seen their gold premium bottles for 13 quid so a Christmas present to myself along with a gen4 glock might be a good shout !

Still waiting on a game anyone going to any First and only sites in Manchester in the new year ?

I am left eye dominant but right handed. I find that it works quite well to have both eyes open. The eye dominance cancels out my view of the actual sight but the bright dot is still visible. The red dot sight needs to be quite close to my eye for this effect to work though.
I'm right handed but left eye dominant also, sometimes I can shut my left eye while having a decent vision of iron sights but I preferably would like a red dot sight or holographic to help with this, although when I hold a pistol it's not a problem it's just rifles so I think practicing opening and closing left eye will help, I'm currently in the process of an application for the british army I need to sort that out before I get in (of I get in lol)

This is most of my load out waiting for my black hawk knee pads, my vest is shite but I'm new to airsoft so I'll be upgrading in the future so go easy ! I'm going for the whole MTP look but I had to get a Ghost Balaclava there really cool and they look bad ass, eye pro sucks so will be getting a mesh pair to deal with fog cause fogging up is a real birch ! Can't wait to buy a rifle and build my gear up progressively but I think to Say I'm a noob I have some good kit what you reckon people ?
*Sigh* Not exactly airsoft, but still a dumbass move to make!

I agree with most of what has been said here but I thought it was rather funny the guys got a big pair to go round doing that.
