This. Airsoft is at least 50% a tactical fashion show, whether it's a stitch perfect impression or a more personalised loadout we all secretly want to look the part when slinging plastic at each other. I know that while I tailor my gear to what's practical and works for me there's always the aesthetics that come into play

A very warm welcome to the old git club. I am a younger old git who enjoys the highs and lows of cutting about in ridiculous amounts of kit and taking things like comms with an frustratingly serious dedication at times haha! But..."at the end of the day" the hobby is just a bit of fun and in no way to be taken too seriously. My advice (for what it's worth which is normally approximately zero) is to start as you mean to go on in terms of site etiquette; it is better to over call your hits than under call them out of the uncertainty of being hit. You can never go wrong if you do that, apart from frustrating team mates who may say "that didn't even hit you (expletive)!" lol. Oh well, I'll be back in a minute...(in my head as "dead men can't talk"...) ?
Cheers

The only scary thing about this pic is... you just threw on what you had clean that day.

Not yet, but I'll probably be going for light kit as I run hot and at my first game I was POURING with sweat! I think if I wore a plate carrier I'd die of heatstroke!
Oh yeah, I agree. Especially as I'm a total newbie I want to develop good habits. A pyro landed about 3ft away from me but as I was behind cover, I was unsure if cover counts or if its a blanket 8foot radius kill, so I shouted to a ref "Am I dead?". Before he even opened his mouth, 2 more pyros virtually landed in my lap. "Never mind, ref" ?

Good call, you'll often see folk ending the day with far less gear than they started with
