Less pain load out

[TheFull9]

You wear a lot of layers and stuff = you get really fckin hot. You play 1 game in the height of summer while armoured up or in multiple thick layers you'll hate your life in short order; even with a small, light carrier/chest rig with plenty of spacer mesh and a combat shirt you still sweat buckets when it's anything over 20 if you're running around.

I don't know anyone personally who's "a pain person" (well.. not that I can discuss publicly) but that's airsoft. Basically no matter how you pad up BBs will find their way through to hit you somewhere painful, but that's all it ever really is, something that stings a bit for about 10 seconds tops. You step on to the field, that's how it is, you'll never realistically get through a day without ever getting tagged.

You need to get a grip. Pain is a part of life (not just airsofting) and you need to learn to cope and deal with it, not run away from it.

Take up laser tag. Did it at warfighters a few years back.

No pain, real looking guns, less cheating.

The lack of pain and recoil/feed back from the gun does take a bit away from the fun though!

One of the guys at Bristol Airsoft once war bubble wrap under his clothes so you could try that I guess. The downside is you will look like a twat and everyone will want to shoot you because you make a great popping sound every time you get hit

Eye-pro & naked airsoft

ergh no thanks - but hey people will feel their hits

casual player:

Summer - Shirt and jeans - saw a guy wearing shorts - hmmm I had a couple of stingers at 4ft last week though my jeans - yup I'll skip shorts

besides my legs are like the rest of me - not in the best shape

Winter - just another layer sweatshirt/hoodie

as said bit of adrenalin reduces ouch factor and if running round you don't want loads of layers

bit of pain is just part of life - or stay playing COD

Hi, I like airsoft but am not a pain person. I would like to know if there is a load out (sorry if I'm using that term wrong) to make things better in that regard. I want to invest in one of the airsoft gas masks that I've seen and be covered head to toe.

1)Can I do that and will it work?

2)If yes, how do I play without being a million degrees?

Full face mask is a good idea, especially if you want to keep your face looking pretty. But I wouldn't go for a Gas Mask. The respirator side is usually pretty useless - and unnecessary too.

You'll find you'll be absolutely BAKING in one after a few mins.

I tried an S10 in CQB for the "SAS look" and it lasted about 5mins.

A lightweight, loose fitting jacket will take the worst of the sting away from the hits.

Any vest/carrier set up will likely have all your mags on your front so that's covered. Unless your planning to get shot in the back running away...?

In CQB I wear jeans to lessen the hits too.

I'm not the most masculine, eat cordite for breakfast, kind of guy...but for the most part getting shot doesn't hurt that much. (I know, pain is relative...blah blah). Ive had some stingers that made me swear a bit, but generally the adrenaline and the flappy clothing takes a lot of it out. You'll tend to hear the hits as much as you feel them.

Just be sure to protect the worst parts. Face, fingertips and ears.

If you layer up too much you'll overheat and regret it.

Yeah but the "eeerrrgg" noise the box makes when you die is HILARIOUS!

Caution - some of those airsoft gas masks are not actually up to standards and are dangerous (see First and Only's demo vid) - https://www.facebook.com/202303906505110/videos/979676025434557/

If it's mainly your head you are worried about, Paintball masks from reputable manufacturers will do the full head if you need: http://www.justpaintball.co.uk/jt-elite-headshield-black.html?fee=1&fep=159&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google_shopping&gclid=Cj0KEQjw3-W5BRCymr_7r7SFt8cBEiQAsLtM8pjI49UZbk0vPyHNkb_re5PXDrqAHzL8whR4h8Yb4tcaAiJF8P8HAQ

I'd need to know more about which bits precisely you don't want to feel the pain on before I could advise more.
