TacMaster Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Nah, a chest rig is just worn over normal combat clothing. Edit: don't worry about camo patterns on those chest rigs, just get one in olive drab because it'll work with flecktarn, DPM, MTP, Multicam, Tigerstripe, M88 camo and many others. This'll help when it comes down to buying camo as you don't want to be tied to one pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted July 25, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 25, 2013 This style of SWAT vest fits an MP5 mag in each of the long pouches, so 2 on the front and another 2 on the back. That POLICE patch comes off if you'd rather not be associated with that sort of person Generally speaking, if people want MP5 mag pouches on their chest, they get a molle vest or plate carrier and a couple of molle triple mag pouches, but since you're just starting out, that might not be such a good plan, unless, of course, you've already got a good idea of what kind of camouflage/BDU you intend to wear. Tac is right about OD going with everything, but the beauty of those Begadi chest rigs is that the more uncommon patterns are so cheap (although bear in mind that AH will probably spank you £8.99 for postage, as they only have 2 rates and the cheaper one is for items under 1Kg). If I were you I'd get the Rooikat Tigerstripe, or maybe the Danish M84. Going forward, you'll need something to keep your kecks up, so may as well get a 50mm duty belt of some description and then you can put a couple of pouches on it for things like pyros, sweets/gum (to keep your mouth moist once you start breathing hard from the exercise), your phone, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazMK5 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 For the price of this, is it worth getting just to upgrade the inside? http://www.amazon.com/250-Auto-Electric-Airsoft-Machine/sim/B003NM61UA/2 What makes/brands of GUNS should we stay away from?

No. Don't get that. Especially as its your first gun. You will find it almost impossible to find upgradeable parts for it. And its a RIF so you would need a defence before purchasing in the UK anyway. Idoubt they would even ship it to the UK.

Mike636 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I wouldn't buy a GBB for your first gun, they can be unreliable in English weather and take a lot of care and maintenance, plus spare magazines are expensive and looking on zero one's website not available from them, plus Co2 guns can be over some sites limits. Trust us go for an AEG first, then have a gas as a secondary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay83 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I had a G&G combat machine and it was rubbish, just a word of warning. For me this gun was terrible. others may have had good time with it i dunno but for me this thing had loads stuff rubbish about it, for starter gun id just spend little more get something better, coz your love airsoft and after a month be looking at upgrades ect.

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted July 26, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 26, 2013 I would also stay away from anything from Ares, except the Umarex branded G36's, which Ares manufacture. JG G36's have a good rep, but I'd not buy anything else from them. CYMA AK's are excellent, their M14's are good, but I've never heard or read anyone raving about how good anything else they make is. That said, they make MP5's and they would make a reasonable platform for upgrades, if that is the gun you're after. Double Eagle shotguns are supposed to be good, but yeah, their AEG's are P'sOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't S&T who make them? Tariq mentioned them, I think they are a clone of the Ares ones/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacMaster Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I have a CYMA MP5, and it's great if you put in a tightbore and a new hop up unit. If you get one, I strongly advise you NOT to touch anything else on it, they perform fine. Oh and get a decent battery with it, the one that comes in the box is pants.

Tariq Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 You may be right. I had heard it was Ares, but I haven't searched out the info for myself. They ARE S&T. They are a company that bought out all the ARES designs and manufacture them to be slightly cheaper. The Umarex G36 series came out first, with ARES bringing out their own which doesn't have the trades, but have ironed out all the kinks that the Umarex ones had. Although i still claim the S&T ones are pretty good, bar the first batch which had a few lemons in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted July 27, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 27, 2013 Yeah, Tariq, as you know I cconsidered the Ares and Umarex when i bought my G36KV, but with the problems I've had with my L1A1 i just couldn't do it! I spose I can just relax and blanket rubbish Ares from now on then, since they don't actually make the Umarex and i don't know anyone who has an Ares G36 and likes it enough to say so!

TacMaster Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I'd get an AEG for your first gun, like I said before CYMA and G&G are your best options as they are decent for starter guns and very cost effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
