I used to love watching guys rock up and start unloading dummy LAW rockets, scissors, pouches full of bandages, dummy clansman packs, and stuff that looks great but doesn't provide a functional use in game, unless it goes mega tits up and you need bandages . It's all adding weight and profile.

I support both those who rock up geared up and those who do the jeans and a hoodie, as long as everyone plays fair. I remember the phrase "all the gear but no idea" which made me laugh again. But I've also fallen foul of judging a book by its cover.
Long story short, if it works for you, crack on
