All of the above $320 How two words ARMY ISSUE!

Boots $80.00 on sale
JG MP5 with 6 low caps batt and charger incl.. $200.00
I'd tell ya how but then I'd have to kill you!!!! lol

All said and done around $600. before the MAN takes his cut of course.

[Mitchell12]

My current load out:

Surplus Woodland BDU top: 30$
Surplus Woodland BDU Pants: 40$
Surplus Woodland Boonie: Gift from "Jamesbond007"
Skillfully acquired CF Black Cadillacs: Nadda
Some kind of weird black vest from army issue: 60$
Total: 130$

Weapons:

What used to be a Tippmann AK-47 that was bought before I actually played. Now has a JG mechbox with quite a few upgrades with an Element Hop-up and I think a Mad-Bull 6.03 tightbore inner barrell. Shoots around 385ish but only have 2 mags for it at the moment.
Total: ~280$ approximate

or

Tactical Force MP5 that has been reshimmed and has a spring taken from a CA m15. Shoots close to 375 and I have 9 mags for it.
260$ 40$ for mags
total= 300$

Sidearm:
Modified Bell M10 4 inch revolver shooting around 300 fps on propane
Can't remember the price of this but it wasn't much.

I prefer the AK but tell I buy more mags it's on the side lines.

AK total goes to close to 500$

MP5 total goes to around 510$

I think it's probably more because of shipping and importing but I don't think that counts.

[Moderate]

My original setup was:

Cadpat Coveralls - $60
Paintball Goggles - $40
Cadpat Vest - $60
TM MP5A5 - $250
High Capacity Mags, battery, etc. - $60
and $30 worth of bb's - $30

$500 total.

Now my current British loadout:

Radio - $100
DPM BDU - $100
ICS L85 - $700
Tanaka Browning Hi-Power - $300
DPM PLCE Webbing/vest - $230
MK6 Kevlar Helmet and DPM Cover - $50
M4 Mags with H&K Trades (midcaps) x 13 - $90
Leather Holster - $30
Extra DPM Raincoat/Jacket - $30
ESS Advancer V12 Goggles - $150

So over $1750 for my british loadout.

Working on my Desert Loadout which is probably more than my british/green loadout.

[dpvu]

Current (and only loadout):
Multicam BDU - $100
Multicam CIRAS - $160
JG HK416 - $450 (with mags and completely upgraded)

Even then I'm already over $600 (not by a lot). With the stock JG and less mags I would be under $600 but I've invested some money onto making it a formidable weapon outdoors. If you throw in my GBB and other assorted random stuff I carry, it's probably up to around $1000. Even using a clone rifle and CIRAS, airsoft's quite the investment.

[KND]

My current load out, might close to 600 $, not include the gun.

First Option 01

Proper Muticam BDU set : 120 $
Condor Tactical Multicam MOLLE Modular Operator Plate Carrier Vest : 140 $
Desert Boot = 60 $
All pouch, blash belt, hydration = 200 $
Blachhawk CQC holste and Molle mount = 60 $

damn, it's 580 $ already. Still have more to add.

Second Option 02

VFC SCA-L = 500 $
Proper Wood Land = 100 $

and now it's 600 $.


... damn, airsoft sure take a lots of money . those thing not include new magazines, or extra yet.

[ProbeJax]

I don't know how you guys can go over 600 so easily. All you really need to play is a reliable GBB and goggles.

[Lerch]

Easy, most nice AEG's cost $600+

hmm ! I start off airsoft to think just only get those thing but thing change when you game your GBB at outdoor game with most upgrade AEG. You will never stop yelling hit.

AEG can be as cheap as $350 but once you factor in the upgrades, extra toys, mags etc. next thing you know you have a $2000 AEG in your lap...........shiite that's where all my money has gone to!

Uh, no.
No to mention the multitudes of other reasons, what happens when it's winter or too cold out? GBB's don't work so well.
