Fulda Gap 2012 FPS New Rules

[atl]

Dom, it may be old school but I still run my old Alice gear from time to time, with a pieces of USGI sleeping mat cut and taped in strategic places (just like we used to do). It's dirt cheap and period correct for Fulda, and a lot cooler to wear than any vest or even chest rig. YMMV.

I use alice too and like it. I just have a pistol belt, suspenders, 2 canteens and holders, 2 m16 mag pouches, and a butt pack and it works great.

Dom,
Here is what Stephen's Friend uses:



(Terrible Pics, I know)

I do use it more for real steel shooting but it serves as a great low-profile 1st line for an airsoft loadout.
What it is:
-1.5/2" Nylon Duty Belt with front side-release buckle
-TAG Banshee Gel Shoulder Pads on the hips
-BHI Serpa for my Sig P226
-EI Magazine Dump Pouch
-LBT Medical Blowout Pouch (NODs, Water, Ammo, etc.)

Very simple, Minimalist approach... no Molle or extra bulky padding needed.
Paired with a light low-profile chest rig or some more mag pouches, you really don't need much else for a light kit.

That's about what I am looking for, I think I'll try something similar to that. Thanks for the info and pics.

The question is will they enforce the mesh rules? Because they made a big deal about no mesh goggles leading up to the event, and they were not enforced at all. You saw mesh and standard shooters all over the place.

[Matthews]

CDWC has a track record of not enforcing many rules...
They ALWAYS say "Full Seal" and "No Mesh" but I wear what I want every year with no problems.
I'm sure mesh will not get too much attention on gameday, but you should probably bring a back up anyway.

I recommend a good pair of Full Seal Eye-Pro though since they are a legit requirement (enforced) at many national games and if fogging is a problem then Revision Fog Wipes are the best solution in my experience.

[Villid]

I used a set of full seal ESS last year, and had fogging issues, so i swithced to mesh. Id like to find some decent full seal glasses.

[Matthews]

Try Flak-Jaks (sans foam vents) or the new Smith Elite Boogie Regulators for the cheapest, and in my opinion, best alll around fog-less full seal eyepro

Solid comments from Matthews on all counts.

Does anyone know if they will allow velocity reducer tips on AEGs?

[fallout11]

That's a negative. They don't work reliably on full auto. Luckily you have 5 weeks to change your spring (or use a different weapon).

[Dominum]

I should hope you have at least one AEG that is below 400 FPS with a .25g...

[TokenTech89]

i do. i was asking for cqb purposes

Post all the links you want, it's a free country. I do rule with a lead pipe though.
