MilSim West Kit WIP

Still have quite a bit of items on the way but this is my kit that I’ll be running at the upcoming MSW: Battle of Bishkek. What do you guys think?

Earpro with steel helmet?

As there are blank-fire weapons present at MSW, i’ve been looking into an ear pro headset to use. However i will be running a ssh40 helmet as militia, and so far can’t find something that actually fits half decently with my helmet. Also for convenience for myself it would be nice if i can hook it up to my radio to make comms easier.

Does anyone know of something that would fit or am i just out of luck?

Victorville AO

Hey guys I'm looking at heading to MSW at Victorville in October. How is the AO? Main concern my girlfriend brought up is asbestos issues. Does anyone have any experience wearing some PPE for the event? Thank you.

Milsim M4/AR

I am a gun guy and a weekend woodlands larper and I don't really know anything about airsoft gear or brands. I am looking for an m4/ar build that is suitable for MSW and other milsim events. Price range can be anything from 0-1200, as long as it feels like an actual AR platform rifle.

I guess also I would be looking for a decent glock 17 clone, that I would prefer gas blow back.

MSW Shali Blank Fire Ammo Quantity

I’m attending my first MSW event (Shali) this November.

What’s a realistic number of rounds to bring for a blank-fire primary with a replica secondary, specifically at MUTC?

Edit: 500 rounds it is boys- thanks for the input!

Water questions

Im trying to plan out water. My current plan is 1 3lt camel back and 1 spare if it pops. 2 1lt collapsible bottles and 2 water bottle pouches on my belt.

This should get me close to 24 hours depending on how intense the rucks become. But I'm not sure if there will be resupply? So should I bring more.

I've also heard of people bringing 30packs of bottles but I was confused at how people are carrying that.
