hey guys ive goot about five friends that are comin with me to play for the firdt time. so were lookin for any advice on gear and what type of ammo we need or do we buy it up there. any help would be appricated thanks go home we got it
Id say more than anything, PP2 was a game of endurance for me and my team.
You dont need the Kitchen Sink, but you do need some dishes. you dont need 30 mags, but 12-16 will do it. A bag of BBs and a Clicky loader should get you through. Extra batteries for your primary are key. A sidearm and 2-4 reloads, I didnt see the need to carry extra gas for that. Water and power food.
This is a game od endurance and your mind telling your body to suck it up. You need to ignore that voice saying "go back to the car"
there are a million other little things you can get advised to bring, but make sure you bring your brain.
BIO BB's are the only ammo allowed from what I remember.. I do believe they sell it on site. PM crossfire or Blacksheep6 to confirm. Cheers, BlackRain.

Yes, only BIO BB's are allowed. Bring two speedloaders, I had one break and had to borrow one. Op Pine Plains 1 - Pathfinder Op Pine Plains 2 - PSD Op Pine Plains 4 - Bravo 2-6
If I can suggest anything I would say travel light. This is a long event and it looks really cool to wear the latest plate carrier and battle belt, and backpack, but the sad truth is most players aren't conditioned to do that for the entire event. I would suggest looking at your teams physical conditioning and go from there. PP2 I carried a SAW and all I wore was a battle belt with bags of bb's and batteries.
Gear wise - Less is More. PP2 Bravo 7 PP3 - OpFor PP4 - OpFor
You're also going to be climbing through windows, sliding through small openings and such. I'd suggest having a seperate backpack with sustainment items and leaving it at the CP. If you are missioned with holding a building grab that on the way but otherwise leave all that behind.
Look into a 3 line set up and how you can make that effective for a 20hr op.
Helmet, knee pads and gloves will also make your time there a little more bearable and you'll have less healing to do afterwards OPP I - Pathfinder, Bravo Co. KAFIR MilSim Groundzeroairsoftusa.com
A step above what Severed is saying, look at something that you can easily get on/off. Plate carriers are usually NOT EASY for on off.
Id suggest a chest harness or something akin to an Eagle RRV. I have an RRV that I carry 12 M4 mags, a pistol with 3 loads, a UHF radio and my bowman prr. i also have water in there. Thats a fighting load there boys!
On the other hand I have a Diamondback Predator that ive used at a few Lion Claws ops that have breaks. I can take that on and off, drop my pistol belt and relax etc.
Another thing to considder is that you may not need a whole ruck full of extras. I use a SOTech GoBag to carry ALOT of extra goodies and its very easy to sling over a shoulder or use as a waistpack. Alot of companies now make Bug Out Bags or E&E bags. I have a Diamondback E&E bag that carries 6 rifle Mags, 2 double stack pistol mags and an MBITR with room for alot more, and its not big at all. Something like that can make your game go alot easier
All I can add is start doing a little physical training now, I ran/jogged/walked/crawled...LOL 2 miles today...otherwise their right on. and don't count on getting it there as there weren't any vendors at OPP3.
