No regrets.

Honestly mate, you made the right call to start with by ensuring you had water on your back. 'Configured' or anything else doesn't matter, you made the right decision when it came down to choosing whether you were going to admin yourself correctly or end up becoming a burden to those around you. When I was out at a pretty large woodland site on sunday I was about the only person in 20 who'd got a hydration source on them, including a fair few other ex/forces guys that were at the game. If it weren't for the marshall driving a 4x4 around with a jerry can of h2o in the back for everybody, we'd have likely had 19 cases of man-down to sort out.
My personal tips for CS95 in airsoft (pretty much just copy what the americans do with US Woodland):
-Roll the sleeves just twice, so they're about half way up your forearm
-Remove the draw strings entirely from around the ankles
-Get yourself a 1.5-2" riggers belt insetad of the barracks-oriented issue one with the weird clasp, preferably in some sort of desert'y colour because mis-matching is definitely the way forward
-US Aviator type 'nomex' gloves work well with the look
-Cut the zip out. It's got buttons, save yourself a little bit of weight and bulk, most guys I've met who know what they're talking about never use the zip anyway
Tips on how to wear CS95 much appreciated, thanks! I definitely need a new belt. The cadet-issued one I've got now is *suitcase*, impossible to adjust easily on the field, comes loose, won't take my preferred holster that easily meaning it bangs into my hip every time I take a step.
Regarding the drawstrings on the trousers: If I cut them out, how will I keep everything nice and tidy?!
BTW - There wasn't actually a camelbak in that hydration pouch
It was just 2 500ml bottles of water. Down one before going out on the field, then stay out until the last one's empty. Then return, refill, repeat. -
Myself on the right, modelling how rubbish a non-configured vest can look, and how silly it looks if you don't roll up the sleeves of a Soldier 95 pattern shirt. And I really *fruitcage* needed a haircut before the game but I didn't have time.
The friend of mine was planning to carry around an Ares M200 AND a HK416. Thankfully he had to drop the M200 due to a leaky mag

I'm thinking of getting one of these. £380 ONO, with NPAS, 5 leak-free mags, scope and scope mount. Good deal?

Yeah, that's what I plan to do
I've found some dummy plates that are the correct dimension for the vest (Large), but I'd have to order them from the US - Making do with some Cardboard for now. I'll be taking it to the weekender, hopefully it won't be that hot. I normally use a SAAV, but that's fairly open. -
Purchased a RICAS last week. I think I've got it to fit the way I want. It's a little loose still, but that's because I'm extremely skinny.

Ordered a magpul AFG and AI Propane Adaptor Kit off them. Speedy delivery! I love how FireSupport always have a good level of hard to find parts in, such as AFGs, CTR stocks etc.
What's more, I ordered a kit off them that I changed my mind on, and was able to cancel that order within an hour of me placing it. Fast response times, etc.
To me, they were definitely on a par with Land Warrior Airsoft, but then I realised they have a stock notification option too! Shot up to the top of my list of retailers.

Oh how I love G&Ps with KAC RIS'...take more pictures!
I've got a little something coming. It involves G&P, KAC RIS, and Colt trades. Finally.
I will! It's a lovely first gun. Still haven't tested it though, need a battery first.

First purchase!
That's a G&P M4 CQB, with a Magpul AFG2 and a KingsArms RDS.

Sounds like you used the wrong gas, dude.
