Beowulf Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin proffrink Posted January 2, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted January 2, 2018 Use the search - lots on that subject already. In short: Most likely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 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...

Beowulf Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Ooooh! Gloves! Yeah it does look like it hurts. Seen how people whip their hand away after getting shot in the hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Didnt care for a lower face mask. The rules of fields around me state I dont need full face cover if im over 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen how people whip their hand away after getting shot in the hand. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentonboy Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I doubt that would make much of a difference if I am honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules of fields around me state I dont need full face cover if im over 18. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warlord Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 YES! I forgot the most important one! Haha! Thank you was about to carry almost 5 to 6kg gun around without a sling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 2, 2018 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2018 Definitely consider a lower face mask. It doesn't look as cool as just the shooting glasses, but it'll keep your smile nice It'll also prevent you having to pop BBs out of your tongue like this fella at Dorking: https://www.facebook.com/groups/349277785162889/permalink/1403516149739042/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Definitely a good large padded 2 points sling, carrying that chunk of rail around will be painful.. Absolutely get something to protect your mouth! If you don't like mesh masks you can always use a shemagh.. The billiard doesn't go all the way through because 1) you're throwing it at a rather slow speed 2) the blanket dissipates the energy by being large. A bb will go through a scrim scarf every single time because it has holes and compared to the billiard/blanket example, it hits at a much higher velocity.. Even if it doesn't go through it still has enough energy to hit your teeth and break them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlord Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Sling is not essential. Very useful for sure. By game 2 I realised my inner arm ached from lugging the rif about. But if you're renting you'll need to pick a sling that can attach to the gun. For example I couldn't attach an Magpul MS3 clip onto a G36 as the clip was too big. Probably the same on an MP5. So not all slings fit all guns. MS2 seems to be the one to fit everything I've tried so far, M4, AK, MP3 and G36. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tactical-Mission-Sling-MS2-3-Adjustable-Multi-Point-Airsoft-Paintball-Sling-UK-/172813436848?var=&hash=item283c7bc7b0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainesy86 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 And a good comfy pair of Boots. That was one of the first things I was advised, besides the face mask and goggles lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
