I am planning on starting up a Contractor Layout but I don't really know where to start other then Khaki Pants, a Black Shirt/Sweatshirt, and a Tan Tactical/MOLLE Vest.
So, I am wondering what kind of gun would make a good Contractor Layout and what side arm would be good to make a good Contractor Layout, and if I should or should not get a Helmet and possibly put a Wrap on it.
I am aware the questions I am asking are somewhat out of opinions but I am trying to figure out what they use so I have some options to choose from.
Thanks

Argyll is one of the more well know guys around the real steel community. He served in Iraq as a PMC on numerous occasions and as far as I know is still in the game, so check out his gallery here: media.militaryphotos.net/photos/argyllThe Arnies PMC thread is also a good place to start, but Arnies really blows 99.6% of the time. You can find that here: www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=159578&st=1400&start=1400And PMC loadouts aren't really set in stone as to which gear is used. They more often then not have the liberty to purchase their own carriers and pouches. Clothing is determined per mission I would assume. Contractors have been seen in Polo shirts, cammies and more casual civvie garb too, so anything is possible in that respect generally. Khaki pants, black shirt and Tan PC reeks of "I'VE PLAYED TOO MUCH MGS4." Have fun. |

 Granted I never wear that to a game as I don't want to mess up any of my polos. Usually I just wear jeans and a black shirt. |

Thanks for the help everyone. If anyone can get some good pictures and what guns they use it would be helpful.

Khaki pants, black shirt and Tan PC reeks of "I'VE PLAYED TOO MUCH MGS4." Alright, well I think I am going to do Khaki Pants, a Black Sweatshirt, a Tan Tactical Vest, and a Tan Baseball Hat. I have nothing else to say... At least go for something different than a black top. Khaki pants and a tan PC are awesome (though I prefer CB actually), but go for a PCU top or maybe something green. Personally, I love my TADGear stealth hoodie in ME green. Here's a pic in game at Bangor, kind of a contractor loadout:  |

I would have to say it also depends on if you're going to play inside or outside. In my opinion, for indoor CQB, you should be able to get away with khakis and a black top. Of course it comes down to your personal preference. I'm also working on Defense Contractor loadout for indoor CQ this winter (now that I have time to battle). Like GBiscuit said, as a Contractor, most of the time you have the choice to rock whatever gear you want. I like the sound of that. Seeing how this is airsoft, and not real life combat, I see how it is wise to still base your load-out on color for team (tan side or green side, that is) identification. My black polo will be covered by a tan TAC.U Is there such a thing as too much tan, though?  edit> Kiki, is that TAD, or Tactical Assault Gear? I like your jacket, but does it come in a tan? How much did it run you? |

I've got the Stealth Hoodie: www.tadgear.com/shop.php?id=510Although mine's an older version, and I thought it came in tan, but either they're out of the tan (M.E. Brown, technically) or the newest version doesn't come in tan. However, some of their other softshells come in ME brown, like this one: www.tadgear.com/shop.php?id=720It's an amazing jacket, I absolutely love it. |

Apparently TAD's server was compromised last week. So I would hold off on ordering if you decide to indeed go that route. Found this notice on a geardo forum I frequent. ---- "This notice is to inform our customers of a security incident at TAD Gear. We recently learned that our database was illegally accessed from an external source, and it appears that some customer data were taken, which may include customer names, contact information and credit card data. The possibility of a security breach came to our attention when certain customers notified us that unauthorized charges had appeared on their credit cards. Upon learning of the potential breach of security, TAD Gear immediately initiated an investigation, and took corrective steps based on the advice of an internet security firm. We have also contacted law enforcement. If you purchased merchandise from TAD Gear on-line between August 6, 2009 and November 16, 2009, and the credit card used to purchase that merchandise is still valid, in order to protect yourself from the possibility of identity theft or misuse of your credit card information, we recommend that you immediately contact the issuer of that credit card and close your account. Tell them that your account may have been compromised. If you want to open a new account, ask your credit card issuer to give you a PIN or password, as this will help control access to the account. In addition, we recommend that you place a fraud alert on your credit files. A fraud alert lets creditors know to contact you before opening new accounts. Just call any one of the three credit reporting agencies at a number below. This will let you automatically place fraud alerts with all of the agencies. You will then receive letters from all of them, with instructions on how to get a free copy of your credit report from each. Experian 888-397-3742 Equifax 866-640-2273 TransUnion 800-493-2392 www.experian.com www.equifax.com www.transunion.comWhen you receive your credit reports, look them over carefully. Look for accounts you did not open. Look for inquiries from creditors that you did not initiate. And look for personal information, such as your home address and Social Security number, which is not accurate. If you see anything you do not understand, call the credit reporting agency at the telephone number on the report. If you do find suspicious activity on your credit reports, call your local police or sheriff’s office and file a police report of identity theft. Get a copy of the police report. You may need to give copies of the police report to creditors to clear up your records. Even if you do not find any signs of fraud on your reports, we recommend that you check your credit report every three months for the next year. Just call one of the numbers above to order your reports and keep the fraud alert in place. For more information on identity theft, we suggest that you visit the web site of the California Office of Privacy Protection at www.privacy.ca.gov, or the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft. If there is anything TAD Gear can do to assist you, please email us at action@tadgear.com, a special email address that we have set up to help answer your questions. On a going-forward basis, in order to help assure the security of your information, all users will be required to recreate their usernames and change passwords upon logging onto our newly redesigned, TAD Gear website. Please note that the password change process is only initiated when you come to the TAD Gear website and as a result an email is sent to you. Do not respond to any other unsolicited emails regarding password changes from TAD Gear. TAD Gear will not contact you by email regarding a password change unless you initiate such a change on the TAD Gear website in accordance with the instructions above.

Oh yeah, I saw that on Arnies. Crazy stuff. So yeah, unfortunately I'd hold off on buying anything from them, though if you're interested I think somebody is selling a Stealth Hoodie (or maybe Ranger hoodie, I can't recall) on Arnies.

I really like the look of those softshell jackets, but their a little rich for my blood, in the price range. I might go with something from 5.11 or Blackhawk for a little less from LA Police Gear. I like some of their tactical jackets, but they're always black or dark navy blue though. LA Police Gear's logo tactical jackets are nice, but again, black or dark blue. Besides my polo, I'm trying to stay tan side as much as possible. I prefer a dark colored shirt. It's just trying to find that right style of tan jacket, that's the bitch for me. I'm still not sure if I want to get the tan TAC.U., maybe because it still has that US military branch look to it. Am I correct in saying that other than most gear and weapons, Contractors want to avoid looking like the US Military because of identification purposes? |

Get your parents to pay for it, I have nothing else to say. That's what I did. Anyways, if you want EbayBanned sells TAD Gear knock-off Stealth Hoodies for pretty cheap. They also have a set of knock-off PCU's for like $70 (jacket and pants).

I'm off to EbayBanned to have a gander, thank you very much sir. I would have my parents pay for it *cough* but they're paying for my Blackhawk ZWs for X-Mas. edit> Within fifteen minutes, I practically found what I've been looking for. www.ebairsoft.com/third-tactical-soft-shell-sand-p-2119.htmlAlthough I'm not real big on the hood, but... for fifty-five fifty. I take back picking on you about bendin' n' snappin' a ways back there, Kiki.  |
