So me and my buddy  darkwren intend to start Airsofting in the Wisconsin area hopefully within this month or the next.

Knowing that, I've decided to upload a few pictures of me in my gear.

Excuse the grainy nature of these photos. I took them with my Droid.

We're going to be deploying with Tiger Stripe as our main choice for camo, as its fairly versatile as to what you can blend in with. The FlakJak goggles were originally a bright tan (desert) color, but that was nothing some hot water and three packets of Rit Black Dye couldn't fix.

I'm sporting a Matrix S.D.E.U. Tactical Vest with Matrix Elbow and Knee Pads. I've got a Cobra 35 Mile Radio with an Ear Piece for communications out in the field or in an Arena. And yes, I'm sporting some Tripp Studded Arm-Warmers, although I'm thinking of just going with some compression wraps instead, as the Arm-Warmers are thick and don't ventilate well. And, of course, can't forget the good ol' Balaclava.

I've got a Condor Tactical Belt with a Matrix Pistol Holder that holsters my Limited Edition - Blow Back Nighthawk 1911 Green Gas Pistol. The thing fires great too.

I also have a pair of Matrix CQB gloves that should help keep the sting off of any CQB BB's that hit me in the hands.

Depending on what picture you're looking at, you may or may not see my beautiful Ares/STAR G36 Battle Rifle at my side, behind me, or in my hand. Its stock for the most part, although I've got a Mag-Well converter to use M4 Mags (with which I need to modify the well or my Mags to work together...) although its not attached at the moment. Its also got a Madbull - Noveske KX3 Sound-Amplification Flash-Hider. The G36 comes standard with a carrying rail, which has a built in 3x Zoom Scope AND a Red-Dot sight. Not to mention there's also a Built-In Bipod! Heckler and Koch design some absolutely beautiful guns!

Also, even though the G36 Battle doesn't come standard with any rails, Wren and I were able to manage getting a rail mounted underneath it with absolutely NO modification to the weapon itself. There's square holes that line the bottom of the barrel guard. Its got some very SLIGHT sway to it, but other than that, the sucker is solid. Damn do I love this gun!

One of these days, probably near Christmas, I'm gonna buy the Grenade Launcher attachment for it! That and a shorter gun, maybe a G36C, for CQB.

Caution - FYI: Airsoft is merely a Military Simulation sport thats rapidly growing in popularity, very similar to Paintball. The guns look real, so NEVER remove your orange-flashhider. Or if you do, NEVER bring it out in public. You cannot physically distinguish an Airsoft Weapon from a Real Weapon by sight alone!
