What am I missing?

I made a list of things and I was wondering what I'm missing that can be essential.
Decided to buy a WE M14 EBR and upgrade everything with maple leaf upgrades.

Things that are on hold:
Pistol + Holster
BB's
Gas Cans

Use the search - lots on that subject already.

In short: Most likely not.

 
Some goggles will allow you to wear glasses, others will need inserts with your prescription. Or wear Contacts if an option.

Oh I'd get some gloves which are, ugh... handy. Fingernails hurt when they shatter (as I found out).

And I still prefer fingerless! Go figure...

 
Ooooh! Gloves! Yeah it does look like it hurts. Seen how people whip their hand away after getting shot in the hand.

How do you guys hide your face with goggles on? To mee when I see airsoft videos it looks like the goggles make your face stand out. I bought a scrim net to cover the goggles but do you have any other methods?

 
Have you got a lower face mask? Or a gum shield...

EDIT: Sorry just seen your post, I wear a bush hat but I'm not a marksman. It puts shade over your face and breaks it's form up a little. Plus a lower mesh Tigris mask I camo sprayed.

Didnt care for a lower face mask. The rules of fields around me state I dont need full face cover if im over 18.

If you want to get nice gloves you'll only buy once I would recommend the PIG Alpha ones. Really comfy, breathable, barely take away from your dexterity and have a nice foam pad over your knuckles. If you want to hear more you can look up reviews from real steel shooters. Come in a variety of colours too  ;)

 
When wearing a scrim net ontop a boonie hat, like the picture below, the net would be away from my face, around 3cm or more. Would a scrim net slow down a BB enough to not hurt my face? For example, if you were to throw a billiards ball at a large blanket the ball wouldn't go through all the way. Would it be the same for BB's?

You'll change your mind on that one when you're picking a BB out of your lip and wondering where your tooth went...

The M14 isn't exactly lightweight, so beware of hanging too much stuff off it, or on yourself.

The scope you listed comes with mounts, so you don't need another set. Likewise a killflash or a scope protector. You don't need both. And if you are thinking of using the protector for the red dot, there won't be enough space on the little rail.

Those knee and elbow pads need the specific clothing with the pockets for them to fit into.

If you've not played before or have any experience with a gas rifle, you're going to be on a very steep learning curve. You will also be comprehensively outgunned by pretty much everyone with a half decent AEG.

I've read lots of comments how the mount that comes with the scope is really low and they also recommended to buy a higher scope mount, which is why I got an extra ring set.
Bought the threaded flash kill on purpose to use it as scope protector. Apparently, Noveritsch's good friend Sniperbuddy Fabi uses it for the exact same purpose.
And yes the protector is for the red dot. Thank you for the insight. I didnt think the protector would go on the rail.

So...
Goggles
Gloves
Lower face mask...maybe
Check compatibility for knee and elbow pads....

 
My advice is bin your list for now. Go play a few rentals. Very little of what is on your list is what I'd call essential. Eye pro, face mask, gloves and a torch will see you into a good rental game (y)

 
YES! I forgot the most important one! Haha!
Thank you was about to carry almost 5 to 6kg gun around without a sling.
