Not a big deal but bring Q-tips for milsim games!

As the title says and not an incredibly clever or creative suggestion but Q-tips seem to be essential especially for getting mud and dirt out of your barrel and in any other nooks and crannies of your gear/guns.

Why for just milsim? This is pretty true for all outdoor airsoft events...
And why just for guns and gear, you can use them for your ears too. :D

Good suggestion though.

This is pretty basic stuff to bring at every game. They are good for a lot of things.

I know It's super basic but I've never seen any mention of them or on any checklist. It's just a little micro-suggestion.

Why on Earth are you sticking your muzzle in the ground?

I'm not... Sometimes I have tripped, fallen, been in an awkward position to where I couldn't bring up my muzzle and whatever else. It's just accidents and I'm also a clumsy and short person so there's that.

I stick my muzzle in the ground all the time. It's how I stand my gun when not holding it, because slings hurt my neck (I'm a big cute kitty), and I don't like leaning it against a tree for fear of scratching my uber custom paint job. :)

I just mount a bayonet and carry a spare pair of boots and an extra helmet. The bayonet keeps the barrel out of the mud, the boots keep it from tipping over, and the helmet stops water from dripping into the buttstock and shorting the battery.
