    Here is a list of Gear Whoring Laws, as written by Jimmy. This list will be added onto periodically.


    1. You can NEVER have enough gear.
    2. If your gear costs more than your blaster, your good to go.
    3. Tactical Vests are never cool.
    4. Black Tactical Gear, should never be worn with a patterned uniform.
    5. Wearing a UCP, ACU for the cool factor is always legit.
    6. Its OK to pass up a 30bps gun for an Eagle Industries CIRAS.
    7. You must wear your CIRAS and MICH 2000 to a pickup airsoft game with you buddies down the street.
    8. Every piece of gear you own must have a picture proving that these elite soldiers use this gear.
    9. The player with more gear is obviously better than a player who doesn't.
    10. UCP colored gear can only be worn with a UCP Uniform.
    11. The coolness factor always outweighs the effectiveness factor.
    12. In order to properly wear Multicam, you need to resemble GRAW soldiers.
    13. Combat shirts cannot be worn alone.
    14. Tactical Undergarments are required when you are in your gear.
    15. Wearing X-Camo after Labor Day is prohibited
    16. There is a HUGE difference between Khaki, Tan, and Coyote Brown
    17. Chest Rigs can only be worn over some sort of armor.
    18. OETech UCP IBAs aren't really UCP.
    19. MARPAT must have the Marine Corps insigna in the pattern, or its not real.
    20. A Multicam Uniform in a BDU cut, makes absolutly no sense.
    21. Its a pair of Multicam ACUs, not a pair of Multicams.
    22. Wearing DCUs in an Woodland Enviorment is acceptable as long as you look legit.

    I would call my self a gear whore but, I also have every thing set up for effectiveness.

    If your doing a impression you really need to KNOW why the piece of gear is like that and how should I use it. Or why that pouch placement is like that and whats the best way for me to use it. Like my RBSS set up, it is one of the weirdest things you will ever see but it works damn well and is a very good impression off the reference pictures I have.

    After 23 years in the Infantry, I can say......I AM A GEAR WHORE!!!!!

    It has only gotten worse over the last 10 years or so.

    I hate UCP/ACU "gravel-flage", but I have it cause Uncle Sam (via the CSM) says I have too. Thank goodness for Krylon Very Happy

    Yes, that is indeed a horribly unattractive pattern. Eww. I will keep my UCP for now.

    Shocked WOW!!!!!! Kind of like vomit. It looks like there is more brown/tan added. It looks like it "might" be a bit more effective. Not nearly as sexy as MC though.
