So my friend supposedly bought this random laptop bag (or at least it looks ok enough to pass for one) from Goodwill and deep inside of one of the pockets was a old, rusted 1911 airgun. Didn't work, but heck, that's a heck of a find!

My weirdest find so far was when I bought a sweater at Winners and apparently, it came with elbow pads. But sadly, they can't really be used for something like airsoft since they are thin enough to be done in by my fingernails. And I had JUST cut my nails that day.

I found a genuine helmet cover and BDU top in chocolate chip camo.
This was at an antique store which doesn't even deal in surplus or militaria.
They had been sitting around for so long the lady sold me both for $18.

The flashlight I have mounted under my SPAS-12 is a 2 dollar LED flashlight I picked up on impulse from Canadian Tire. It works surprisingly well still.

Edit: Oh, totally forgot. Years and years ago, I used to load my Marui P90 mags by dropping BBs down a funnel into the loading rod. It originally belonged in the kitchen, but it wasn't missed, so I kept using it.

I found aviator's leather helmet and breathing mask buried under tons of other old shit when I was helping school keeper back on the elementary.

Wasn't really a gear, but we used it few times in scenario games.

Found a couple pairs of Oakley S1 Assault boots in Winners once. Would have bought them but they were all size 6-7 so way too small. They were also in the women's section too, go figure.

Don't have to imagine. There's one 30 seconds from my work. Great for dim sum and a quick sushi platter.

Same here. But the things that stand out the most are 2 complete tan DEU from the 1980, an old style (before CADPAT) MCpl vest with all the patches, and a small tactical backpack with an internal hydration pack.

Most of my BDU's where bought at Value Vilage or Good Will when I was first atarting out. Never payed more then $6.00 bucks for pants. My first boots where CF #2 combats from Value Village for $14.00 bucks and they still had the little rubber knubs on bottem. I think they might be catching on cause I found a pair last week with $29.99 tag but thats still not bad. Yard sales work to. bought a Sykes Fairborne dagger for $10.00. and a wood holster/stock for a Browning automatic for $10.00. Not airsoft but still good deals. I am a cheap bugger and proud of it.

Bought an old antifrag vest from a garage sale 2 years ago. Paid 20 bucks for it :P
