Hello, Since I hope to hold a sniper/spotter spot on a team. I really want to know this. I really want to carry a side arm into the field along with my gun gear and supplys. Should I use a drag bag to carry all of that. Should I carry a side holster? But that would give away my ghillie.

You're best bet, I would think, is a sort of holster. Drag bags work great in real life because you have days to get into position. With a drag bag you have to go slow. In airsoft, you really don't have that luxury.

I wish games could go for days.  But anyway, yeah in my mind I would believe that a drag bag would get annoying like say if someone spotted you and you would have to run away, with the drag bag...not going to work. Get a drop leg holster.  If it needs to be done sew some local veg to the holster so that it won't give you away. |

As stated. Drag Bags are a NO GO.
Airsoft Events are generally very fast paced and as a sniper you're going to need to pack LIGHT.
Get yourself a nice web belt with a holster and some pouches. Thats all you'll need.

Get a drop leg holster. Stay away from any sort of drop leg platform if your doing any sort of sniping. Id stick with a hip or SOB (Small of Back) holster in your particular situation. As Alphabet has already stated, a nice web belt and some pouches and youll be set. However if you do decide to make another ghillie suit, I would reccomend a set of ACU's.You'd be impressed at all the pockets they have on them that might even work better then the pistol belt, as you can store most of you speedloaders, extra ammo, MRE's, etc in the shoulder pockets and leg pockets without getting cought up on as much stuff, but in your case, with rolling with a side arm, you obviously need a belt for your holster. |

I made a crawl suit out of woodland bdus and I just planned a spot for the straps of my drop leg holster. I played for like 6 hours at RT2 and had no problems. If you have a full ghillie good luck.

depends on the kind of side arm you have. if you havent purchase one yet, then i would recomend an ankle holder and get a rly tiny glock.

A. Mega necropost.
B. Use capitalization, punctuation, proper spelling, and grammar. "I" is supposed to be capitalized, "Glock" is a proper name as it is the company's name, and "rly" isn't a word.
C. A waist holster worn under your ghillie will work fine, ankle holsters = waste of time in airsoft.

OK excuse my abbreviations. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Ankle holsters are awesome if your covered in Ghillie, they don't ruin your 3D effects, and they tend to stay on very, very well. If not that, than your best bet is gonna be a slinged sub-machine gun like an MP7. Well makes a very nice model.

To add, necropost isn't by all technicality a word either.

Relish, please leave the modding to the mods. Leonkennedy74, Relish is right on all counts, so you get an official forum warning. Also, Well doesn't a very nice anything, and necroposting is mentioned explicitly in the forum rules thread. |
