Default New player shopping list

I've compiled a shopping list from the Ebaybanned and RSOV sites (the two that ship to Israel). Please let me know what do you think:
1.JG G36C (EbairSoft Airsoft parts & Tactical Gear - Jing Gong G36C AEG 0638 JG0638G36C). They also have this CNC RAS version (EbairSoft Airsoft parts & Tactical Gear - Jing Gong G36C AEG 0638 EB RAS version JG0638-EB141) which is $20 more. Is it worth it?
2. Googgles: Either these (EbairSoft Airsoft parts & Tactical Gear - ''RV Eyewear - Desert Locust 4 colors HMG00035) or these (RSOV.com - A.C.M. Cheapsofts (+) :: Personal Combat Equipments (+) :: Eyewares and Face Masks :: 'Falan' double-layer lens tactical goggles (NV1314 - smoke)). Which do you recommend?
3. A scarf for some face protection (EbairSoft Airsoft parts & Tactical Gear - Multicam Multi Wrap HMG00037)
4. Magazines (RSOV.com - A.C.M. Cheapsofts (+) :: Spare Magazines (+) :: High-Cap wind-up Magazines :: (Lot of 2) x 'JG' G36C (G608) 470 rds wind-up magazines)
5. A sling (RSOV.com - A.C.M. Cheapsofts (+) :: Personal Combat Equipments (+) :: Slings and Pistol Lanyards :: A.C.M. single pt. bungee sling (tan))
6. BBs (RSOV.com - Vanaras (H.K.) :: 'Vanaras' 0.2g x 5000 rds high precision seamless 6mm bb) or (EbairSoft Airsoft parts & Tactical Gear - Goldenball GB5020W 0.20g Airsoft Ball 4000 rounds GB5020W). Which are better?

I have a tactical vest, hydration pack, uniform, boots.
What do you think about such a list for a newbee?

Welcome to the forums, and I am impressed that you actually did your own research! Bravo!

Everything looks great on your list.

As for the BBs, I have never used Vanaras BBs but many players in my area (including myself) use Goldenball. I have yet to have a problem with them. I run the 0.25g almost exclusively.

You're going to want a smart charger as well.

Well, with the G36, internally they are identical. It boils down to your preference and whether you plan on mounting a bunch of stuff on the rails.
My personal inclination wouls be to go with the standard G36C, since it will likely be lighter overall by 10 grams and eisier to maneuver.


As for the goggles, several players I play with have the Locust style and like them a lot.

I have never seen the Falan type and admit, they really look sweet.

I run mesh goggles in outdoor events and this for CQB/Indoor:

Evike.com - Tactical Apparel/Gear | Evike.com - Goggles | Evike.com - z Matrix Alien Special Operation No Fog Airsoft / Paintball Mask.(Black) |

Vindicator: I'll be using a military tactical vest (have one from my service).
Isn't the sling that I've added to the shopping list is a 1 point sling? And btw, I've passed 3 years of active military service (with lots of "action") with a 3 point sling (and a M4A3 carabine) with no problems

DaveRuination: I tried playing one time with a mask and it was VERY uncofortable for me. I guess it's because of the high tempratures we have here.... also, getting into a position and aiming with iron sights (or even with some scopes) usualy is a problem with masks.... I WOULD like to have this protection though.... I'll get both: goggles and mask.... one for the summer one for the winter
