Im sure you will find how to fill them by yourself.

In mine, I put gloves, balaclava, water botle, Radio(s), camera, spare BBs, map, mission specific objects. I use my vest as a transportation tool to bring all my stuff at once too. I can fit my kneepad and propane bottle in it.

I have 2 Cmag pouches, that's why!

Socks and Water. Tonnes of Water.

SInce I don't have a camel back, I carry around bottles and canteens.

I also throw my spare mags in as well, and all the other essentials (radio's, compas, Flash light...)

BTW, which Webtext Vest did you get? I'm looking into them for holding G3 mags and would love a first hand opinion.

Quite simple :

BBs, bbs, more bbs and Batteries

My standard machinegunner loadout is 20 loaded M-16 lowcaps PLUS a pair of 2500 shots box magazines PLUS 1 bag of BBs in my rear pouch PLUS a pair of mags for my handgun PLUS 4 spare batteries (damn m249 that only takes minis or custom batts).

Oh, and like some said water, got a camelbak through, marvellous invention.

Chicom Chest rig >>> 3 Lows, 1 Spets-Hi, socks as well =)

Nothing more, nothing less. Except maybe my 3L Camelback, thats all.

It is up to what you want to carry. It will get heavy ,hot and uncomfortable if you carry to much. The mags sound like a good start, I havent played a game and i dont own a airsoft gun but i soon will. I do own tac gear tho and i have a "immatation" tac v1 vest.

Mantelope · May 31st, 2005, 18:03

Seven lowcaps, BB loader, and a 3L bladder. Pistol mags on pouches on vest and holster. Dump pouch on left leg.

I would ditch the mags on the holster if it's leg/belt mounted; it's a bother trying to grab a pistol mag from the same side that you're holding a pistol with.

Other stuff for the vest: I like a pair of sealskin goretex socks, mini survival kit, pogue bait, first aid kit, 550 cord and 100mph tape, radio, chemlights and compass. Oh, and don't forget an area map.

Don't forget to put in a flask. I pack one around with water inside because most of the time I cannot get my canteen out of the canteen pouch easyely.

Yeah, it's a real pain, but I grab the ones from my belt first and it's rare that I go through four full doublestacks, so I'm not too concerned.

Forgot to mention, I use an Eagle Tac-V1-NU: http://www.eagleindustries.com/ProdD...p?PartNoID=341

I have classic Assault Vest.
Can fit 2 G3 mags per mag pouch (it was made for 3 stanag mags). But those 2 fit nicely, and are easy to take out and put back in. The canteen pouch is rather in a bad place... but i doubt i'll be reach for it in a bb-fight

SEALs · June 1st, 2005, 10:22

Blackhawk omega, 6 M16 mags, maps, compas, radio, buttpack, canteen, bottle of water, camstick, bbs, first aid kit, survival knife, MP3 player, hand torch and some batteries for the radio,torch and MP3. Thats about it.

Lisa · June 1st, 2005, 13:40

That depends on the vest...

TT Cross draw vest - pistol and pistol mags, rifle mags matching rifle I'm carrying, camera, first aid kit, camel back bladder, some snacks, utility knife and my radio.

N00B vest - haven't worn it yet...

CF OD webbing - not really a vest but it goes on like one... pretty much the same as the tt vest except I use a canteen instead of a camel back and a drop leg holster for my pistol.
