I finally got back out, and now should be able to play more regularly for a while. I played in the woods, and the field had a pretty good sized crowd on Saturday.
I felt that I personally did well, and am particularly pleased with getting more use out of the pistol. I got a number of kills with it, including a few times where I dropped my MP5 entirely to run in for pistol kills to finish off enemies in 1-life team death matches.
The pictured loadout is a CYMA MP5SD, which I've had for a few years now. Overall a good airsoft gun, although I have been looking at some replacement solutions for its spongy trigger. There is a pretty cheap Monstrum 3x Prism on top, with an off bran ACOG kill flash taped to the front as a lens protector. The Surefire light was quickly ziptied on the night before as I had originally planned to go to a CQB arena rather than the woods field. I think I'll just leave it in place though, it is surprisingly snug on the gun.
The pistol is a CO2 Umarex Glock. No moving slide and only a 15 BB magazine. Still useful for niche situations. The holster is new (to me) and I am happy to finally have a crisp thumbs map to replace the large and bulky USGI universal holster. Bad on me for not noticing until Saturday that the drop panel was missing a buckle, forcing me to tape up the top strap out of the way. This lead to the holster being a little wobbly on my leg. I will likely replace that with a USGI leg extender I already own.
DYE i5 mask, which has always worked great. It is painted the same as the MP5, and also is obscured under a sniper veil which I have attached to the top brim; the veil can be pushed back and under the mask's backstrap to get it out of the way, or it can be draped over the mask and tucked into the collar if I am really feeling like I want to kill the glint and shape of the lens.
USGI FLC with a pair of cheap triple mag shingles for the mags. The mag shingles are sized for AR mags but I've found that I like them for MP5 mags better than purpose made pouches. This also gives easy versatility if I get an airsoft AR.
Camo-wise I hadn't updated out of the summer time bias towards green. I still had great success creeping up on it around the enemy team, but I also feel more comfortable when I've updated colors for the season. There is another hat with more fall time browns I will switch to, and all of the painted camo will soon go to browns and tans to match the winter time woods.
Real men use jars.
