I use this for airsoft, paintball, and yes, even real guns. Simple as switching out mags. Use M9A1, and my AR Carbines.

I go to the Nevada desert and have fun. Lol.

I have a Save Phace coming in. As well as Damascus neoprene knee pads, VooDoo single point sling, and a Level III-A Kevlar vest coming in.

I also have Kevlar/nomex gloves with ceramic ablative inserts in them. (I can stop a knife thrust with my hand, grab the blade and yank it from you while remaining safe)

(All legal here)

You're likely wondering why...

Its fun.

I'd think, at least for paintball, you're wearing way too much, weighing yourself down. I'd go for camo colored paintball specific pants and matching camo colored jersey. You may also find a nice vertical pod pack that isn't black.

From over a decade of experience, I'd say tournament style gear and tactics work very well even in scenarios. Weighing yourself down with military looking stuff is a handicap (especially in under-performing military looking markers, whereas camo colored variants of speedball gear will keep you much more mobile and places highest interest on function.

Mobility is quite good. My mid rift is free. Arms are uninhibited. The weight is well distributed. The weight is on my ribs and back. All very close to me.

But, can you slide? Plus, the helmet and extra hardware aren't good for bounces.

Just my opinion, but on more than one occasion I've played a scenario without even trying to camouflage myself, sporting a shiny forest green or polished silver "speedball marker" and mowed down seasoned scenario veterans because they often don't know what to do when you're snap-shooting, gunfighting like you train hard (because I did), running, jumping, sliding into bunkers and generally making city fights a living hell for them (and also sneaking and crawling through the brush with far less to snag on bushes).

Again, just an opinion from a guy who started playing back in the first half of the 90's.

I don't slide. I'm defensive. I go to the outskirts and move in to the center. I just run or walk or roll.

You don't know what you're missing. Start off with simple gunfighting drills (snap-shooting with the one-ball check-in rule, dodging paint, etc.). When a scenario player (or whole team is better) embraces drills and skills that you normally only see on an airball field, it can totally change the event.
