The classic cheap recommendation for mag holders is the VISM NcStar AK Chest Rig. Costs around $20 shipped if you have Amazon Prime ($16 shipped if you're willing to buy the used Camo from Amazon Warehouse Deals) and can fit six 18 dart stick mags just fine. It even has side pouches that you can use to store a Hammershot:

As for dump pouches, this pouch has been working out pretty well for me:

here u go
edit: this is not the exact one as the one in the pic but if u search tactical vest on amazon im sure youll find it
I think this is the one that everyone usually reccommends. It's got a 3x2 mag configuration, map pouch, two utility pouches. Not sure if it also has drings or points for blaster and radio, but you could probably rig something up.
I'm not in Aus so I can't confirm availability there.
Beanie, hoodie, or a helmet.
This helmet seals flawlessly with an i5: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0086Y5E30/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Cheap as absolute fuck, too. Doesn't feel super cheap, either. BB hits are pretty loud though and you will definitely hear them!
But yeah I normally run with a hoodie so I can easily take it off if I'm shooting from far away or if I'm going into close quarters, I'll throw it back on to avoid the dome shots.
Condor makes a bunch of good entry level chest rigs.

What about a flc vest?
It’s covered in molle and lightweight.
Here’s a amazon link to one I recently ordered.
ACU FLC Fighting Tactical Assault Vest Carrier
Here’s one with good reviews for 40. Just remember that you want to wear it a little higher than I see most people wear it. Watch a few YouTube videos on reload techniques from Garandthumb or Haley or WarriorPoet and see how they wear their armour or rigs. It’s for efficiency in reloads, but if you’re just after the look, it’s still worth getting right.

No MOLLE apron? Shame.
Condor recon chest rig 4 total magazines, w/ extra mag holders for 10 rd pods
Random hoodie I found at a local store, when paired with my (not pictured) beanie and random pair of jeans I wear it fits the whole pseudo resistance fighter type deal I like to roll with in scenario play. (also not pictured is my ghillie suit)
Carbon HK KLRs and diamond clear lens
T15 w/ Ergo Grip a random 1/2 inch rail riser and RGB red dot (currently waiting on Rap 4 TCA stock and tan pistol grip)
It's definitely not body armor, at least not any kind I'm familiar with. It looks a lot more like some kind of FLC, which is basically just a fabric vest with molle straps on it to weave pouches on. Homeboy here is basically wearing the tacticool equivalent of a fanny pack to go to class.
So I opted to go with a budget set-up and I must say, I've been pretty damn happy with it.
I got an Uncle Mike's Tactical Competition belt for $23.55, a Blade-Tech Tek Lok Classic OWB Holster for $57.49 and two 3pk's of mag holders for 23.99 (x's 2)... all from Amazon (links below).
The only thing I have reservations about is the belt, but ONLY because they didn't have any in size M, so I went with a L. It still works fine, there's just a lot of overlap.

This one!
I'm a pretty skinny guy (16, 6"1 and 145lbs.) and this rig when adjusted fits me very well. Condor Recon Chest Rig (Black) by Condor http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006OOJJN0/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_du2qtb1PEENB1
Just wondering, do you have a budget in mind? If you do I could recommend stuff within that budget.
Edit: Anyways, here's what I would recommend just to start you off with:
M4 RIS
Magpul vertical grip
Red dot sight (for faster aiming)
Dye i4 Mask(These things never fog, fit glasses really well, and is low profile enough that you can still use the iron sights. I would recommend a beanie for head protection)
Condor Chest Rig(Not the best quality, but enough for Airsoft, also has MOLLE weaving so you can swap out the pouches for other MOLLE addons)
I would not recommend a sniper rifle because they need a lot of costly upgrades in order to be effective. Also playing the role of a sniper in a game is boring, you just sit back and shoot all day. You may get a lot of "kills" but in the end of the day, you're just robbing yourself of the fun/adrenaline rush of being on the front line.
Also I would not recommend a pistol until you really feel like you need one. Most of the time, especially if you play CQB, you're not going to run out of ammo any time soon, and your primary isn't going to suddenly die on you for the most part. If you do decide to buy one, I would recommend a Tokyo Marui pistol, even though it's plastic, it shoots the best out of the box and is super accurate, has crisp blowback, and they make unique pistols that other manufacturers don't make, also avoid the M92 like the plague, it's a lemon design. Echigoya
You can get molle stuff with pockets just as cheap.
Harness 1 or harness 2
+2x (3x pouch)
Different pouch.
Harness with pockets
Another harness with pockets
Or a vest
You can get all, or at least most of these in different colors. Even multicam.
could it be This
Edit: yea its this one after comparing the photo's
Mind posting more pics of the chest rig it self? I might be able to ID it based off its construction. I am curious if the mag pouches are part of the rig or attached to the PALS webbing.
​
EDIT: I think the base rig is:

1- Vests and armour may be thick but trust me when you get hit you'll know your hit, there's a specific sound that you'll hear, it also has a specific feeling that is unmistakably a hit, the only thing you may not feel are really weak ricochets, vests are good cause they protect the torso but if your arms are being lit up then try getting some paint ball arm guards, A lot of guys run them at my field and their low profile and if you get a hard plastic one you'll still know your hit.
Summary here, If your getting shot up I'd invest in a Vest and Paintball Arm guards
https://www.amazon.ca/YAKEDA-Tactical-Outdoor-Equipment-tactical/dp/B01LLEVBEW/ref=sr_1_5?crid=IDNZPIEKKH4H&keywords=yakeda+tactical+vest&qid=1549594740&sprefix=yakeda+%2Caps%2C198&sr=8-5
This one is pretty good from what I've heard and I know that if you wait it will go on sale
​
2 - This one may sound a little weird but a shop called Badlands Paintball generally has sales on different stuff for really cheap, Hero Outdoors is a shop in Canada as well and you may be able to pick up some good deals from their Tactical Tuesday deals
​
3 - If your not aiming well with Iron sights I wouldn't count on getting a sight to improve accuracy marginally. I suggest getting a better mask because it was probably the lack of being able to line up shots that was giving you problems. I suggest the OneTigris Foldable face mask, it's a good price and a good fit, I personally enjoy using it
https://www.amazon.ca/OneTigris-Foldable-Protection-Military-Protective/dp/B078MLSMBC/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=onetigris+mask&qid=1549595079&sr=8-6
I personally like the ear protector version but you can get one without ear protectors.
​
However if you truly want to change out the sight then the one I have these to:
I have something similar to this one, It's a nice Style of sight because the reticle is the same size no matter where you put it, This style the Replica 552 styles also take AA batteries so that's a bonus
https://www.amazon.ca/Holographic-Reflex-Tactical-Adjustable-Brightness/dp/B078S75HY3/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=552+sight&qid=1549595211&sr=8-4
​
This one is good because it has a small dot and isn't tinted as much, but doesn't take AA batteries
https://www.amazon.ca/RioRand-Tactical-Green-Cantilever-Reflex/dp/B01HTEHGO2/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=red+dot&qid=1549595188&sr=8-13
​
4 -Generally your glasses shouldn't be fogging, or at least mine don't, I use guard dog evader 2 goggles however I might recommend finding a pair like the Revision Desert Locust because they have dual pane (Thermal Lenses) should stop goggle fog however if fogging on the glasses is a problem maybe you could use Scuba/Snorkel solutions for anti fog

Ah, Call of Chernobyl, I missed that. My bad, I've been out of the STALKER modding community for a while. Okay, so I'll respond to both comments here:
-Unfortunately, airsoft versions of the Val are few and far between. Now, what confuses me is your comment about 'only if it has a wooden stock'. The Val never has a wooden stock, it has a side-folding skeleton stock. However, the VSS, which is basically the same rifle, has a wooden fixed skeleton thumbhole stock. It sounds like what you're looking for is a VSS rather than a Val, and if so you're in luck because there are airsoft VSSes on the market. Please correct me if I'm missing something.
-Amazon, surprisingly, has a (limited) selection of Russian gear. I got my Gorka from there, and they also have SMERSH rigs.
-Gas masks are something I've looked into extensively. The answer is to not use a gas mask, but rather get a respirator that looks the part and meshes well with regular goggles. Paint respirators that you'd find at a hardware store tend to be recognizable as such, but there are very cheap ones available through eBay or Amazon that look a little more generic. Pull out the right filter (or left, if you shoot lefty) and then you get face protection and gas mask look without it restricting your breathing.

10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. it explains itself.. but you can hold a lot of stuff while out hunting zombies!

For magfed a chest rig is a must. I've been playing magfed and using my chest rig for 2 months now, and I find it to be quite functional while staying somewhat on the affordable side. I can't speak for other mags, but the TMC's seem comparable in size to my T15's mags, so they should fit nicely (if you chose to go with the TMC that is).
My rig includes:

Amazon isn't where I'd usually go for a vest, but there are some decent options. Condor isn't a fantastic brand (not great quality and durability), but they have some good options for a budget on Amazon. I think the Condor Rapid Assault chest rig is fairly popular and it has some pouches built in. The Condor Recon chest rig has more pouches built in.
People often don't get gear with pouches built in, because it gives you more space to put on and switch out whatever pouches you need at the moment. This is a little more expensive to get started with because you have to purchase the pouches separately, but it gives you more options in the future. This Condor chest rig is more like that, though if you really want a lot of space for pouches you should look into a plate carrier, which is bigger than a chest rig.
But for getting started, you probably don't need that many pouches. Do you have an M4? If you do, I'd suggest the Rapid Assault rig. It has M4 pouches built in which you can use but also has a decent amount of MOLLE space for adding your own pouches. It's a good balance.
Keep doing research, search for other threads like this on /r/airsoft. There might be some better quality options that I don't know about. Buying used is another option, it's harder but you might get a really good deal. Let me know if you have any other questions!
EDIT: /u/zxj4k3xz is correct in pointing out that you probably don't need one. If you're just using a rifle with a high-cap magazine (probably came with it) you won't have much use for a vest/etc. But when you buy mid-cap magazines, and if you use your pistol enough that you want to have it with you as well as your rifle, a chest rig is a good way to carry it (the pistol probably fits in a mag pouch fairly well) for much cheaper than a good holster (the cheap fabric ones are godawful, don't use them).
Condor Rapid Assault chest rig
You can try one of these:
With any one of them you can change up the strapping positions and add similar pouches. Most (including pouches) can be found on Amazon.
It doesn't really take extra time, tons of vests are made to hold 2-3 mags in the same pouch, which at least for the quad stack mags means no reload pentalty at all, for he 60rnd pmag for me personally, my 60 round pmags fit just fine in this vest since the mag pouchs are designed to hold 2 mags at a time, same for quad stack mags fitting in there. For the rigs in game, the blackrock clearly has a dump pouch on it, and regardless of that it is one large pouch for 4 mags instead of 4 one mag pouches, so a drum or quad stack could easily fit. Scout sniper is a little iffy for the drum, but the quad stack can clearly fit, AVS has a dump pouch, but no way it can fit the quad, let alone the drum mag, and finally the wartech does not have the space for a quad or drum, and does not have the dump pouch, but it is same modular ability of the AVS so it can have either a bigger mag pouch added, or the dump pouch added.
This one is better

This is a pretty ideal beginner loadout. It'll also be good so you don't blow everything on the sport to find out you don't want to completely get into it. I'd say get this, maybe a cheap plate carrier and some pouches and roll with that for a bit, then alter your kit to how you want it to be.
Cheers man! Glad to see another in the sport
I like this little rig a lot, it's not too bad and it's decently constructed. Condor makes pretty good stuff for low price. Condor Recon Chest Rig (Tan) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085Y4JF0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_xLNmub13DEPN4
Also don't forget eye pro! What style do you like, mask or goggles?
I already have a rig, this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085Y4JF0/ref=twister_B07G7F8D7F?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I have a few weapon attachments, as I was gonna buy an m27 from my friend but decided not to. I am missing safety gear (Googles, face protection) as well as proper clothing and footwear. So i got a few other investments to make.
And as far as budget 400 for rifle, pistol 100-ish(cheaper the better ), googles 100-200 unless I can find something better.
I would suggest a surplus Fighting Load Carrier. It's basically a vest with molle webbing all over it. Here's an example
They're pretty adjustable, and the long height helps with combat corset look. One of the females in my platoon in basic had the same problem you do, and several I deployed with.
Additionally, you might try something like what I run, a Condor padded battle belt, on a harness, with a hydration carrier on the back. I put some mag pouches, and a dump pouch. Works great. I am the USGI medium-regular cookie cutter shape, and was able to get mine so it sits just above my hips and doesn't really move much. You do need a backpack for extra gear, but that usually stays at a spawn station. Basically this with a hydration carrier rigged to it. It also keeps your chest clear so you can go prone easier.

Glad to help, if you feel like picking up a cheap bit of apparell to go I'd recomend one of these or [these] (https://www.amazon.ca/Tactical-Equipment-tactical-jungleadventure-mountaineering/dp/B01LLEVBEW/ref=pd_sbs_200_7?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=G0RBG2YENY90TR6KPWSZ) of course for apparell always first check for used or surplus stores in your local area seeing as plate carriers don't usually have technical problems besides maybe size
I've had my eye on this

Isn’t the entire thing just a tac vest
Is something like a Condor Recon Chest rig for $56.63 out of your budget? (Amazon.ca has more colour options as well!)
Check out other sites as black Friday sales are going on today! Could be some pretty good stuff on cheap elsewhere!
It's an adult helmet with twin visors clear/polarized under the shield. https://www.amazon.com/Collectable-MILITARY-FORCE-Flight-Helmet/dp/B00FZEN5E4
Loose clothing will help. My advice is to look into a cheap outer carrier.
Yakeda sells some cheaper full wraparound vests that can help a lot with getting hit in the flanks. Amazon is selling them for about 67 bucks, so that's a cheap modular option for one stop shopping there. They're not great though. But if money is a concern it's one of the cheaper options available.
If you prefer, save up and get a better MOLLE carrier down the road, but a full wrap around style like this can really help. https://www.amazon.ca/YAKEDA-Tactical-Outdoor-Equipment-tactical/dp/B01LLEVBEW/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1Z270K5CRI3PL&amp;keywords=yakeda+tactical+vest&amp;qid=1571854194&amp;sprefix=yakeda%2Caps%2C158&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyWVBRTFo4SFBEUDJQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzEyMDk3OTE0V0RKODNIRDE2JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwMzcwNzUyU0hESUg0M0kwWkczJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
I play a lot of CQB and have had this issue getting shot up at close range in my fat love handles.... And it does hurt a lot.
Also get gloves. Don't be cheap. Buy a decent set of full coverage tactical gloves or Mechanic ones. Anything will provide better coverage than nothing, and your hands will thank you.
Build your kit gradually, but yeah, for now if budget is an issue, get gloves first, then maybe some kind of full wrap vest carrier, then add other kit as you want.
I also run a drop pouch that hangs off the front of my vest to protect the boys as well.
Ultimately, you're gonna sting no matter what. But mitigating that with some good PPE will make a huge difference in the long run.
Check out Condor Outdoor's stuff. They have a ton of different vests, you're bound to find one that works for you. You can find a bunch of their stuff on Amazon pretty cheap. If you're looking for something light to only carry about 6 mags, then something like their Rapid Assault Chest Rig might work well. However, it has no webbing on the back to mount a tank. I'm also not sure how it fits, since I have no experience with it.
If you want a vest that gives you the ability to mount a tank on your back, then their Modular Chest Set would work a bit better at the cost of being a bit heavier. I actually own this particular vest and I used it for quite a while, but eventually decided it was too big for my current loadout. If you're on the thinner side, this vest will be loose, even when fully tightened.
I'm suggesting these vests because they'll get you going the quickest, as they already have enough pouches for 6 mags built in. There are plenty of makes and models to choose from, I just recommend Condor because, in my opinion, they're a good bang for your buck. I've been using Condor gear since I got into magfed and can't say I've ever had a bad experience with them.
Another user on here recommended these - $25 for 3 pouches. He said they were a knockoff of more expensive gear, but I have zero experience with them. You might want to give them a shot!

They can be worn under the helmet, just have the headband go between the two top cushions inside of the helmet shell. They are also supposedly compatible with Peltor style ARC adapters, somehow. I can't confirm the adapter compatibility personally, but from what i've seen you can just pull the metal rods out of the connectors that attach to the ear cups, and then replace them with the adapter's rods.

They should work with something like these

VISM by NcStar AK Chest Rig... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005G0FADG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
For AK's, this is pretty solid.
Otherwise get a CONDOR Recon rig for an AR.
here is a cheap suit you can buy if you are in canada

How about I just show you the helmet? Having some hardware issues (my only camera is my phone).
It's cheap because I wanted to know how I like wearing full gear before I invested something like $50-$100 for a half decent helmet. I've been playing on and off as a complete casual for about 2 years now.
It has no padding, only straps. That may or may not be my problem.
Condor Recon Rig. It just fits me at ~32" and the mag pouches are sewn in, but it's great for the price.
I've been rocking a Condor MCR4 chest rig lately with my magfed setup. All MOLLE with a Condor Hydro Harness. Feels like very good quality.

Works with AS VAL Mags So I think that means it should work for AK mags as well? Condor Chest Rig $34 bucks baby.
You can buy arc rail adapters like this
I love this chest rig...

So... for a good rbr look alike use this helmet over the 6b27?

vAv YAKEDA Tactical CS Game Chest Vest - KF-099 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077HSWFZY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QFVyDbEBFEHWA This is the one I use, it’s double the price of that one, but it has great reviews, is well made, and is still relatively cheap. Btw I’m just starting out in airsoft so I’m probably not the best person to answer this but I thought I might as well try.
What about this one? I’ve seen a lot of good reviews about it, but I think I’ll look a little ridiculous in it lol
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8TOG4X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kRTZDb9ZX86X9
I appreciate it. For the price chicom is awesome but would something like this be a solid buy? I like that it has mag pouches for the pistol as well, but do you think reloads would be made easier?
Agreed. Fits into the sexist male gamer stereotype too well. I'm all for some interesting female clothing options but it shouldn't be stripperella style. If that's a road Massive went down I'd be pretty disappointed. We shouldn't either unless we're going to be respectful.
If female outfits were going to be a thing I'd be all for it so long as it wasn't titilating / blatantly sexual. There's plenty that could be done in that regard, and should be since most of the clothes a gendered male with the assumption that male is neutral (it is not). If guys gets suits then we should be able to come up with reasonable outfits for female toons as well. And, of course, male toons could wear them (FYI Hedwig's angry inch is actually a snub nose Rhino).
Speaking of the kitchen thing and maybe flipping that old idea its head... I'd happily kill NPCs in an apron. Have you seen the tactical aprons? Not only is it gender neutral but would be nice paired with Firecrest and a chef outfit DLC. Then I could be a secret agent deployed to cook EVERYONE. Can I get a chef knife as a sidearm?
Yeah. No idea why I did that it was a kinda stupid idea. I’m gonna prob go with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01F5W328Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1. Hope it would fit if I had like a bdu jacket and like a shirt or two underneath.
Holds twelve 18rd clips, maybe even a few more. Cheaper too.
A UTG Crossdraw will last you forever, and have enough pouches to hold everything while still looking pretty decent. I usually swap the holster with the second pouch they include for more mag space, then attach a thigh holster.
Here you go. This is the black one but they have other colors too. Mine's in MARPAT.
