A Complete Guide To Packing Your Airsoft Kit

A day packed with tactical gameplay, firing at the enemy, throwing blank grenades, and bonding with your team is a day well spent. But when you enter the field, whether you’re there for several days or for just a few hours, you need a well-packed kit to thoroughly enjoy your airsoft game. Don’t get caught short mid-mission, always pay special attention to what you pack in your rucksack. We’ve put together this guide about everything you’ll need, from airsoft clothing and equipment, to tactical gear.

Weapons & Ammo

An airsoft player is only as good as their airsoft weapon, so consider various power options, brands and models to find the perfect match for you. Some of the best airsoft brands such as Tokyo Marui, Umarex, and Laylax supply great airsoft equipment for you to stock up on.

Airsoft Rifles & Pistols

The key component of any airsoft game is taking the right airsoft guns with you. Are you a keen sniper? Or are you happier in the middle of the action on the field? There are a wide variety of airsoft guns, rifles, and pistols for you to choose from for your next airsoft adventure. At Land Warrior Airsoft, we have a selection of airsoft rifles, from electric airsoft rifles to airsoft sniper rifles to pack in your kit. You can also keep your side arms stocked with a capable airsoft pistol so you’ll always be ready for battle during an airsoft game.

Airsoft Magazines
Don’t be the person to forget to bring ammo when you turn up to your airsoft game or patrol base at a milsim game. Be careful to keep your rucksack full of plenty of magazines so you’ll be ready when it comes to any operation or objective. The most common types of magazines in airsoft are high-capacity magazines, medium-capacity magazines, low-capacity (or real-cap) magazines, and specially designed magazines for airsoft pistols. Always choose the right one for your airsoft gun and role in a game.

Airsoft Batteries

Many players opt to use electric rifles for airsoft, and for good reason. Simple to use, reliable and able to deliver high levels of accuracy, it’s no surprise that AEGs are perhaps the most popular choice on the battlefield for players at a range of experience levels. If your weapon of choice is electric, it’s always sensible to carry spare batteries with you. The last thing you want is to have to exit a game, or to call the day short because you’ve run out of airsoft BBs.

Clothing & Combat Gear

One important thing to pack is clothing for your airsoft game. There’s a high chance that you’re going to get sweaty and muddy. Make sure you’ve got all the spare clothing and combat gear you could possibly need, as well as all important protection to keep you safe.

Face, Head & Eye Protection

It’s vital to keep your eyes, face, and ears protected during an airsoft game. With bb fire, bits of debris, smoke, and all sorts flying around the field, it’s easy to get something in your eye and be forced to tap out. Don’t be that person who was too cool for airsoft safety. Protect yourself and stay in the game with a good quality airsoft helmet and suitable goggles or glasses. We recommend a pair of our Wiley X BOSS glasses as they offer the best bang for your buck.

Tactical Clothing & Uniform

One important step to never forget is to stock up on airsoft clothing ready for your airsoft game. Be sure to pack what you need in your airsoft rucksack. Running around in rain or shine can send your body temperature soaring, but there’s not much time in the middle of a skirmish to take off layers. From tactical jackets and pants to t-shirts and hoodies, pack your kit with light, durable and breathable fabrics designed to help you stay comfortable, protected and look the part.

Tactical Boots

To avoid blisters and ensure you can travel a fair distance in your airsoft game, remember to pack a sturdy pair of durable and waterproof tactical boots. Trainers will only get an airsoft player so far. To effectively tackle tough terrains and hills, tactical boots are the best airsoft clothing for the job. We offer a range of tactical boots from viper tactical. A top tip is to also pack some black boot polish to keep them waterproof and to camouflage shiny equipment at night.

Tactical Vest

A tactical vest is an incredibly valuable piece of equipment for airsoft, that offers players a number of great benefits. With the ability to store items on your body, using a tactical vest means that all the essentials can be stored close to hand. And with MOLLE compatibility it’s easy to configure your loadout exactly how you want it by adding tactical pouches and storage options. If you’re looking for extra protection, a plate carrier enables you to equip yourself to prevent injury caused by impact, while for those who prefer to keep things minimal, a lightweight chest rig offers extra easily accessible storage without weighing you down.

Tactical Equipment

What’s an airsoft game without the right tactical gear? Don’t get caught short when you’re playing. Make sure you’ve got everything you’ll need in your kit.

Hydration Equipment

As with any sport, staying hydrated is essential. Keeping hydrated is key to doing well in airsoft as long hours, the sun, and the constant exercise, can all add up to very thirsty work. Dehydration can cause weakness, fatigue, dizziness, and loss of concentration. Don’t put yourself at a disadvantage when your airsoft team needs you at your best. Choose a good solid hydration pouch for your airsoft games so you can keep drinking without having to pause.

Belts, Slings & Lanyards

No tactical clothing outfit is complete without being equipped with belts and slings. No one wants loose trousers on the playing field, so belts can help keep your tactical trousers up. Slings and harnesses are also ideal for storing and holding items when you are in the middle of your airsoft game or day. Many airsoft harnesses can accommodate the mounting of various utilities, pouches, and mag holders. If you have any other important documents or small items, lanyards can help keep those special items close by.

Holsters & Leg Platforms

If you have an airsoft pistol or secondary weapon, one of the most important items to pack in your rucksack are airsoft gun holsters. Even when your hands are full with your airsoft rifle, you might need another weapon that is quick to draw when you need it. At Land Warrior Airsoft, we stock a range of left handed holsters, right handed holsters, and shoulder holsters that you can take with you to your airsoft games. Packing leg holsters and leg platforms in your rucksack can also provide you with a place to store your airsoft pistol. Some of the best airsoft brands such as Umarex and Viper Tactical, supply a variety of high-quality airsoft pistol holsters to buy.
