New to the Forum and Scenario...Help me out :)

[Hazardous/2k4]

Hey guys, like the title says, Im new to the forum and want to get into woodsball. Especially because speedball season is over, and I just dont wanna stop playing. Here where I live in palmdale, CA I've met lots of cool woodsballers and they've convinced me to try out the Milsim world. Problem is I dont have any woodsball gear, Ive got tons of speedball gear and markers, but no woodsball stuff. I know I can use my speedball gear but I'd rather dress the part and go Milsim'd out, BDU's and ALL. I've been thinking about going with the TM7 or MP5 X-7, I wanna keep the Milsim marker as small as possible, and someone told me that the TM7 would fit me best since im used to small electros. Any advise will be much appreciated. Im also trying to gain points and stuff, cause when I gain privilege I will be posting some speedball stuff up on b/s/t and see if anyone would be willing to trade...Thanks for your time.

Here is some of the stuff I own or have owned in the passed.















Yes I owned him..lol

any of your Mags will do, the Ion or whatever the marker with the BL Torp (SP1?) is.

As for gear...
camo BDUs of whatever fits your terrain.
Pack or harness...anything black or camo and will hold the paint/air you need.

Really...the only difference between the two styles is trees and brush.

Agree, if you really get into scenario/woodsball, you will find stuff to your liking, I see people using all kinds of speedball guns out on the field. As long as it shoots a .68 ball, its all good. Personally I would choose something the least flashy/reflective.

Gear - Get some BDU's from an army surplus or buy a vest. I like having the bottle off gun for crawling around. Need something to carry the balls around, but you already have a pack from speedball so thats not a big need.

Honestly, you are already good to go, I see guys out their in full speedball dress. I love to see them out in the woods - they make easy targets but starting out, just tone it down with some camo and you are good to go.

Thanks guys, but that wasnt the answer I was looking for, come on I need an excuse to buy new gear LOL
Like I said I know I can use my own gear, but I want to build me a Milsim marker and dress the part.

Its alot more fun playing a scenario game, when your milsim'd, cause it feels more realistic, Ive even thinking about buying me a swat helmet and putting a camo cover on it....Thanks!

How much do you have to spend?

You can get cool camo off ebay or specialopspaintball.com

As for a marker, your not a true woodsballer til you own a tippmann

TM-7s are cool, i've never used one.
i've found my A5 to be reliable, performs well enough for me, and does a great job all around.
since it hasn't been said, "Washer first, then o-ring, tombstone holds it in place." if you don't know what i mean, you will if you get an A5.
i've never used an X7 but they're just as good.
i don't know how you play speedball, but i find bushball/milsim/scenario puts more emphasis on accuracy and less on laying paint, unless you happen to play the role of heavy rifleman or fire support

I love this guy...(Zippo&cigar LMAO) Exactly what I had in mind. Imma let my beard and Go-T grow out too, so I look like Captain Price from Call of Duty 4

well if you got money to burn (I was going off the "I'm on a budget" stance)....

Take your Classic mag and throw a milsim body and X-Valve on it.
Get/build a pneumag setup or EMag frame for it.
Get a 1-point sling for the marker-to-epaulet attachment.
Get a tac 10 vest.
Get a "medium" tank holder.
Get an old 114/45 and remote line.
Military styled knee and elbow pads.
Bandu or Shemagh.
black Bates or Danner boots.
A digital camo Save Phace mask.
OD military style gloves.

If you REALLY want to spend money, here's my suggested list:

-Get an A-5. Go look at our photo galleries and pick a style that you want. With the right upgrades, you will be able to lay down some serious paint AND have a milsim look.
-Look in your local surplus store for camo clothing. If there is nothing you like there, go to BDU.COM - Military Uniforms & Tactical Clothing by Propper
-you'll need some combat boots. Just go with what druid suggested, I don't know which brands are the best.
-Vest
-A mask that isn't bright and flashy
-SHEMAGH

but yeah, if you want to spend money go spend a while exploring OPSGEAR
