As a still a mostly newb (only got a half decent gun last week) whose gear has to pull double duty... take my opinion with a grain of salt but just let Darwin take over. Do you have the right to tell me NOT to show up on the field, if there aren’t strict uniform/costuming rules enforced? No. If I pay my 25$ field fee and show up in shorts/t-shirt and carrying a spinger shotgun and wearing foggy glasses AND wandering around on my own like a X-Box player… just go ahead, and claim an easy kill. Several even. If I give up well then boo hoo for me.

I’ve learned there’s a definite curve to the game. The seasoned player would have spent more, sure, but there’s a learning/reflex curve and an instinct curve… and those aren’t always the same thing. Pain and discomfort are lessons the body learns. First game you show up half naked, you wander alone, you’re lit up. Second game you’re overburdened with clothing and gear, you stick to your drinking buddies, you’re lit up. Slowly, you get your comfort zone, and your gear & AEG are extensions of your body, and you stick to teammates that’ll keep you alive.

I’d say the learning curve is part of the fun; I’m having fun with it at any rate.
