Gear or Magazines???

[Exile]

So I am faced with a little problem. I just got an extra $200 and I am thinking of how I want to spend it. My first choice would be to buy some gear so I can actually carry things during play. My old vest shit the bed, so I pretty much have to get a new one. Or, I can buy more magazines for my primary which is a GBBR (don't judge), which I will need on the field. The problem is If I get the vest then I wont have enough magazines to play effectively and if I get the magazines then I wont have anything to carry them in. This is where I am stuck. So I am coming to you guys to see what you would do. Have you been in this position before? If so what did you do? What do you recommend? Thanks again guys.

Gear! Always gear, fuck guns.

I'd say split the difference. Buy a cheaper chest rig or LBV and then spend what you have left on an extra mag or two.

Something like this would probably work for a while:
cgi.ebay.com/Combat-Field-4-Pouches-Magazine-Chest-Rig-Vest-Tan-4-/280510601579?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item414fbc196b#ht_2108wt_911

And it's less than 30 bucks shipped to your door. Can't really beat that.

EDIT: Of course Knife would say that, he has enough gear to just throw it at people rather than shoot them. ;D

Haha thats great Thor. But now comes another problem, my size. You see, I am a pretty big guy (6'6, 289lbs, 44in waist, 53in chest), so my options for gear are pretty limited in what will fit me. Considering your option Thor, I found an RRV for $30 and a really nice CIRAS for $50, but I dont know if they will fit. Do you have any experience with either of these types of vests?

A large Flyye Ciras might fit you, but probably not one of the cheaper China ones.

Umm, to be honest, I've never tried to size gear for someone of your... dimensions, so I'm not really sure what would fit, or what wouldn't look really small on you.

Gear or GTFO.

I agree with thor you should try to split the difference. Im glad I havnt got big into gear yet, I do have a lot of gear but I still use a tac-xdrw-vest which is ok for me and it's cheap, but it is a little big 'cause I'm a gangly twig.

But, anyway what GBBr do you have?

Its a surprise buddy, as I plan on revealing this sex machine very soon in the gallery. Once I get my stock and my VFG then she will be ready for her grand entrance. On topic, I decided to buy a large CIRAS from devildogdoc so I am planning to buy only two extra mags. Hopefully the CIRAS will fit , and if not then you can expect to see it up for sale or I may just keep it and try to lose this gut hahaha.
