Start by getting just the bare minimum... the rig, and mag pouches, and maybe one extra... then play a game, then add more if you find you need a new pouch... If you buy it all and then figure out that it's too heavy, you can't sell it back. And trust us, no matter the weight of your gun, your gear will be heavy. Heavier still the first time you get wet (which you WILL get wet in the Pacific NW) My gear alone has weighed up to 25 pounds... and I striped if down to the approximately 8 pounds it is now.
If you can't run a full day's worth of airsoft in your gear with your riffle then it wasn't worth the $25 you spent to play and the extra money you spend on the gear you won't play in...

And you may want to consider getting more than just 3 mag pouches... I know right now that seems like enough, but the first time you go out to a mid-cap only game you'll realize that 3 is not enough mags.

just my .02

The triple mag pouch holds 2 in each slot so 6 mags. I had an old vest which I stuck a lot of stuff in including my glock. So If I upgrade it will be fine. The weight will be able to get used too.

Sadly, the chinaman doesn't make a single or even a double MP5 pouch (which is the length you want). Another advantage of the MP5 pouch is the short mags sit just fine in them (the baseplate stops it from falling into the pouch).

http://www.tacticaltailor.com/mp5doublemagpouch.aspx
Is what I'd suggest. When I ran a Glock, I used that to hold my long mags. If you don't mind having a pouch thats MC, I've got one sitting around I can sell you for less than that ;)


If you don't wanna go that route, I"d suggest avoiding getting a pouch to hold it altogether. The P90 pouch is really big, bulky and the condor one is uglier than a boil on a witch's a$$.


Alright I sent a pm, I was thinking about the mp5 pouch, it's just I didn't see a single one. Seeing as I only have 1 hi caps glock mag (a disgrace I know) I thought a p90 one would be fine. Thanks for the advice

What about a pantac vest with condor pouches? Like 10 bucks more for the vest but I won't have to worry about it breaking, if the condor vest breaks I will have to pay another 60. So I might as well go with the pantac vest but condor gear.

If so, make sure you order the same color gear as vest. Different companies have slight variances in their coloration.

You use Pantac.
Chau uses HSGI.
Mangoes ...X(... used Tactical Tailor. - he doesn't count because he changes crap every week
Everybody else uses Condor.


I get it tomorrow, so I correct it to- I will use Pantac.
Abe bought the MBAV/EPC forever ago from RWA.
Mangoes is retarded and trades for shittier and shittier deals. I think he just got Don's old, beat-up, frayed, stupidly painted Condor MBSS.

And just get one solid color for gear, GM. It rarely turns out well when someone does that.

For future refrence everyone: just google (company x) coupon codes before you order from company x. "rocket" has been around for a long time. Never pay more than you have to. Glockmeister: if you're getting a Pantac vest to go with your MARPAT camouflage, I'd strongly suggest getting it in Coyote Brown. That's the color the Marines use. I'm going to be putting together a CB Pantac vest this summer. I've been planning it since February. It's going to be expensive, but worth it.
I'm a "fair weather" airsofter. I only play in the pouring rain, freezing cold, or broiling heat.
