Hi mate, welcome to the site.
Most g36c rifles are pretty sturdy but if you could give us your ideal budget then we could make more accurate recommendations. The most recommended starter g36c you'll see is the SRC G36C Gen 3 series. They're very solid rifles (for the price) after you downgrade the spring to make it legal at most sites since I've seen a few of these over 350 fps (the limit for most sites) out of the box. Here's a few links:

A fair few sites use these as hire guns for good reason.
Obviously get UKARA out of the way first (if you're over 18). If you're underage then you'll need it two toning and a responsible adult to buy it and "gift" it to you.
I personally love them when the rules are fair. For example not letting the player use any other weapon at the same time is reasonable as it forces them to rely on team mates.
When someone has a shield in one hand and an AEG/gbb in the other then it's really just as bad as someone not calling hits.

Only goggles I've had so far that don't fog too badly unless you're wearing a balaclava. Well worth it and one of the best airsoft purchases I've ever made.
Is it wrong that I subscribed to his channel just so I can have a giggle every time he uploads a new vid?
Not surprised your comment got taken down - can't be telling the kiddies that people lie on the internetz
Had it happen once where a bb shattered and the pieces grazed the skin near my eye. Soon changed to goggles pretty sharpish
It's a risk at the end of the day that is down to the player. Same with lower face protection - some will take the comfort of no guard over the risk of losing a tooth.
Only problem with express48 is how bad they are at tracking said item - ittz_noob can back me up on this when I sent him a RIF with this service. It arrived late aswell despite being sent on a Wednesday (to arrive Friday) it arrived the following Monday.
I've found their next day before 1pm service to be a lot more reliable and sometimes significantly cheaper for pistols and smaller rifs. They also track it better. Not sure how expensive it would be for a bigger item though.
Construction work/equipment. They don't want us hurting ourselves more than usual by tripping over stuff in the dark - the metal posts were bad enough to avoid let alone the stuff now stacked down there haha
Usually any chest rig can be raised or lowered to quite an extent - I personally like having them further up as it feels more secure. Trick is to make sure the straps around your waist can be tightened to the point that you can still breath but the rig doesn't have too much movement around your chest - i.e. it doesn't twist too much and become an annoyance.
Really I would recommend trying on rigs before you buy unless you know your correct measurements and how they compare to the one you're buying.
Dump pouches can be attached to virtually anything. I usually have mine on a regular belt under my rig. As long as it serves it's purpose and easy to access it's personal preference how you have it located on you - mine are always on the left as it's just habit for me to have it there.
I've never had issues posting rifs through parcelforce - as long as you declare it as airsoft equipment and don't include batteries. Guess it depends on who serves you on the counter though.
To be fair since they closed the basement (my fave bit ) you'd do fine with a pistol at the embassy - except on the kill house.
I was going to go to the shotgun event they had on the 17th too but work/car problems stopped me.
The Embassy at the minute but will be their new one when it closes. Haven't been lately due to the car being buggered but hoping to be all sorted soon and back into the hobby.
