Assult vests

[joe bob]

My cousin has a surpluss assult vest and can hold an extra 400 rd.s should I get a similar one

No, just get a harness that can hold a bunch of 140 round pods. I suggest a five pack. So lesse...
140+

Also most assult vests have the pouches on the front, and side, the pouches on the front aren't good for two reasons

1) you can't get as close to your bunker.
2) your pots wont take kindly to you lying on them

I've used a surplus vest before along with a rag-tag collection of converted ammo pouches and have to say that the purpose-built paintball packs are far superior: easier to pot up, carry and they don't stick out as much.

One thing I would suggest if you have a remote is getting a yoke harness to shift the weight to your shoulders - much easier on the back when you are throwing yourself around.

You can get a commando vest purpose built for paintball (can be picked up on ebay for about $30) but would really only be useful for long scenario games. If you just play rec ball then a good pot pak is a far better option. Reasons stated above

not forgetting that your stomach and or rib-cage wont take too kindly to you lying on your pots.

I agree with arrival

i don't think you should waste your money on a protection veste with harnesses, i think you should get a harness that can hold a whole bunch of tubes and take the pain of a paintball hitting you.
