The Under 600 Club

shadow_matter · March 2nd, 2009, 15:05

This thread for Loadouts/Guns that cost less than $600. Let's see your budget aeg's, sensible gear, and home made projects/innovations.

Hopefully members can post approximate prices of their loadouts. This thread could also serve as a resource for Newbies and cost-concious persons alike.

I will start this thread off with a stock JG M733, surplus woodland BDU's, surplus webbing kit, a china made dump pouch, and 7 MAG midcaps. Total cost: approx. $560 (gear from Army Issue, mags/pouch from ehobbyasia)

No pics but not including guns I have:
CADPAT
an IDF issued vest
Boots and hydration

Kraken with bipod and barrell mag - $200ish
CYMA Glock 18C - $100
Woodland Marpat Uniform (Parklands brand) - $50
Flectarn Chest Rig - $25
Flectarn PASGT Cover - $5
PASGT Helmet - $20
Radar Paintball Mask -$10

Total: $410ish.

...

My sniper rifle's outer barrel and some barrel spacers!

... I can't enter this... Jesus is that an eye opener... Every time I go play I'm basically wearing over 600 dollars worth of gear (not counting guns)

Wilson · March 2nd, 2009, 15:38

If I were to throw BB's, I could enter this.... My boots and my GBB alone would disqualify me. Wow. Is this an addiction?

I think so

I did the same thing... I put down all my bare gear... and GBB thinking "This should be just under the limit"

turns out my vest, uniform, boots and hydration pack break the limit

HAHAHAHA!

I am not a geardo/gear-head/gear-savy in any way. Don't know what button should go where, what rig has an extra smoke pouch on the weak side shoulder vs. which one has a pouch that'll hold a nalgene bottle...

But I had to sort out all my gear because we renovated the basement and here's the damage...

Full BDU's, hats, other:
- DPM
- Flecktarn
- Multicam
- Woodland
- DCU
- PMC?...don't know if you'd count that..
- 4!!!! (how that'd happen) sets of gloves
- 4 shemags
- 2 helmets
- 3 goggles, 2 shooting glasses
- 3 shooting/trainer belts
- 3 slings
- kneepads
- misc rags/hankys/etc...
- and a good old pair of Danner boots

Rigs:
- simple M4 chest rig
- craptastic useless HK knockoff rig
- Arktis DPM rig
- Flectarn rig (LOL...haven't even had a chance to use this one....sad)
- CIRAS
- Wasatch
- nice hydration pack
- 2 226 serpas
- dropleg holster
- m4 subload leg rig
- 226 6004
- an extra rubbermaid bin of misc pouches, straps, buckles, etc....

So...under $600? Not even close....but if you want the bare essentials get the best that you can afford of the following:
- goggles
- gloves
- boots

Go with the PMC look and load out with a Pantac or Eagle RRV (although the Pantac Wasatch is really quite nice).

Spend the rest of your money on guns, ammo and fun times with your friends.

Under 600 that's like 1/3 of what I've spent on airsoft
Just my bare waterproof gear for airsfot is 500

Lerch · March 2nd, 2009, 16:22

I don't even have half my kit with me right now (it's in my locker), but here's a small spread of some day-to-day kit I use...

CPGear GenIII 64' pack - $320
CPGear Kidney Pouches - $50
Everything else...issued

There's the odd thing like nametapes and kit mods that were bought, but all those items fell under $5 each.

Styrak · March 2nd, 2009, 16:33

Custom Hicapa and....

Oh wait. I'm already over...

shadow_matter · March 2nd, 2009, 16:52

I own way more gear than my first post, actually have an eagle pc on the way. I just assembled a package to give people an idea of what they can put together for under $600. If you're coming into the sport while in University (like I was) this would have been really valuable information to have when trying to get workable gear setup without breaking the bank.

For example, another under $600 kit of mine would be the new Gen.3 SRC G36c, a 3 point sling, and a pair of issued Marpat BDU's. (You don't need any additional gear because the SRC comes with 2 linkable 500rnd highcaps)

I won't be able to enter my VSR or CA but you get the idea...

kalnaren · March 2nd, 2009, 16:55

I'm under as long as I only include boots, BDU, and vest and nothing else. God damn I've sunk a lot into this hobby.

LUTNIT · March 2nd, 2009, 16:55

How about we start an "under $1600 club" as then I will be able to participate

lt_poncho · March 2nd, 2009, 17:11

...else just measure reproductive glands and get it over with - who dies with the most wins anyway.

Brian McIlmoyle · March 2nd, 2009, 17:17

HMM could I build an "under $600" loadout that would be decent..

Ground up

Surplus boots $60
Surplus BDU (includes hat ) - $100
Cheap backpack ( food water ammo carry all ) $30
Mechanic gloves $30
Shemag $14
