At least the shipping was free, Does anyone know what some good gear would be? I bought a pair of glasses, I'm looking for a good hat that protects your neck and face. If anyone knows a cheapish hat that would be awesome.
Thanks,

get full wrap-around eye protection. doesn't need to be an ugly paintball facemask, but most fields require some kind of full eye protection, i.e. goggles. Especially if you're going to be playing at Combat City, they say no shooting glasses allowed. don't think you wasted money, though, you could use them out at the range, or for working with tools.
here's my "light" kit, the stuff i use for going out on a weekend with my buddies:

On my feet i have a pair of stryker boots that you can find at any surplus store, and i wear a black T-shirt with OD pants.
by the way one thing to consider, i think your gun comes with a high-capacity magazine. while there is nothing wrong with using one, I personally prefer mid-caps. they still hold 75-120 rounds depending on the gun, but are spring-fed, and don't need any sort of winding up. it feeds much smoother and doesn't rattle around either. for your particular gun, there is this 5-mag box set, currently out of stock but AirsoftGI is usually good on getting things re-stocked quickly.
