2012-Present CAG/ACE Impression Help

[Carnage]

Hey guys, a couple friends of mine and I have decided that we want to start up a 2012-present CAG/ACE impression. With that said, at least I could obviously use your guy's help with gear. I do know the more basic stuff, but when it comes to pouches, I'm a little lost as far as brands and models outside of Crye and Tyr Tactical pouches. So I'll just list what I know, and hopefully you guys can fill me in on anything missing and/or correct me.

Headgear:
Crye AirFrame with rails
Crye MC AF cover
NVG shrouds/mounts (ANVIS, L2G05, VAS(?), what else?)
S&S Manta strobe
Helstar strobe
S&S V-lites
P-Tec lights
Counterweights (personal preference, or what?)
Battery boxes
Peltor Comtac II & III with ARC rail adapter


2nd Line:
Crye CPC, Crye JPC (anything else?)
Mag pouches, GP pouches, radio pouches, dedicated pouches, back panels, packs (I really don't know specifics for these; mainly what brands/models are kosher?)

1st Line:
Crye MRB, Arc'teryx H-150 Riggers belt (personal preference, or what else?)
Safariland holsters (which models?), Crye GunClip, (what else?)

Gats:
MK18 Mod 1/Block II rifle(?) and HK416
EXPS3 (w/ magnifier)
SpecterDR
PEQ-15
M3X
M600C
KAC can, SureFire can(?), AAC can(?)
Slings (personal preference?)
Glock 17/19(?)
SureFire X300(?)
M320

Uniforms/Footwear:
Crye AC/G3s (anything else?)
Merrels, Salomons(?) (anything else?)

Equipment/Misc.:
PRC-148/152
PTTs (which ones?)
Chemlights
ASP Trifolds
Lanyards (which ones?)

Anything else I may have missed?


If you guys care to take the time to correct me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Or, just let me know where to find the info necessary. Thanks!

Don't know too much about CAG, but I do know that the Mk18 and Block II rifle are positively out. For pouches, either Crye or Tyr.

[Crapshoot]

Mayflower LPAAC has been used by CAG also.

[Combat Junkies Airsoft]

Paraclete or Crye CVC in MC but those would probably have been pre 2012. Still a possible option? AS for pouches I've read primarily Crye as that's what they are issued.

Alright. I've been wanting to get a 416 so I guess this is my chance. My MK18 will have to do for now.

Ok, thanks CJA.

Is the rest of what is listed fairly on point, guys?

[Combat Junkies Airsoft]

I would stick with an avis and battery pack unless you need a basic shroud for mounting a gopro or something.

[Carnage]

That's what I was thinking. I don't have a GoPro, or even a Contour which I'd prefer, anyways. Thanks for the help.

Headgear:
Crye AirFrame with rails - Yup
Crye MC AF cover - Yup
NVG shrouds/mounts (ANVIS, L2G05, VAS(?), what else?) - Only ANVIS
S&S Manta strobe - Yup
Helstar strobe - Also Yup, better than Mantas
S&S V-lites - Not too common, but yes
P-Tec lights - Yep
Counterweights (personal preference, or what?) - Nope, because you'll have an ANVIS battery box there
Battery boxes - Yep, ANVIS or GPNVG battery box
Peltor Comtac II & III with ARC rail adapter - Yep, or Comtac I. With or without the ARC adapters.


2nd Line:
Crye CPC, Crye JPC (anything else?) - That's pretty much it for this time frame. JPCs are much more common than CPCs, and there's talk of them trying the AVS as well.
Mag pouches, GP pouches, radio pouches, dedicated pouches, back panels, packs (I really don't know specifics for these; mainly what brands/models are kosher?) - Crye, Paraclete, Eagle pouches issued. First Spear, Tyr, etc. pouches personal purchase. Eagle or AWS BTAP, Camelbak HAWG, etc. for packs. Crye's zip-on back panels aren't common.

1st Line:
Crye MRB, Arc'teryx H-150 Riggers belt (personal preference, or what else?) - Personal preference. I use the First Spear AGB
Safariland holsters (which models?), Crye GunClip, (what else?) - Safariland 6354DO

Gats:
MK18 Mod 1/Block II rifle(?) and HK416 - Only 416 as far as assault rifle goes. If you want a modern one, you'll want a Geiselle rail as well.
EXPS3 (w/ magnifier) - Or 551, T1
SpecterDR - Nope
PEQ-15 - Preferably LA-5
M3X - Not common
M600C - Yep
KAC can, SureFire can(?), AAC can(?) - Surefire
Slings (personal preference?) - Yep
Glock 17/19(?) - Glock 22, but since there aren't any replicas, a 17 works
SureFire X300(?) - Yep
M320 - Possible

Uniforms/Footwear:
Crye AC/G3s (anything else?) - Yep, field and combat.
Merrels, Salomons(?) (anything else?) - Personal preference. Salomons are a really good shoe.

Equipment/Misc.:
PRC-148/152 - 148
PTTs (which ones?) - TEA E-Switch (preferable) or the new U94
Chemlights - Sure
ASP Trifolds - Sure
Lanyards (which ones?)

Anything else I may have missed?

Negatory.


Here are a few pictures I have for that time frame.




















And lastly, here's me and a buddy's impressions.









Hope that helps bud.

Thanks beta, that helps A LOT! Surprised I wasn't too terribly all over the place. Well, now onto building a kit list for myself. By the way, your's and your friend's kits look great. Again, thanks for the help.
