a black vest preferably black something swat'ish that would fit ak mags (im planning on buying a ics ak47m)
something like that would do
i have tri desert bdu's somewhere around here
i dont know if this has been discussed but what are the usual rules for eye protection? mask/goggles/or tactical glasses? which would i be required to have in qc (montreal)
would it be cheaper to buy: gloves, boots, balaclava, etc at my local army surplus or online? (if online can you suggest a site please)
that should be everything, if you have any suggestions/substitutions/anything im missing please give your opinion. thanks

If you're playing in the woods I would go with something other than a black vest. Also, I haven't seen many swat dudes with AK-47s...then again I'm not a real operator. You would be required to wear some kind of eye protection, usually a paintball mask or ballistic goggles (you can get half decent ballistic goggles for about $35). For a balaclava, if you're getting it in camo, I would take to ArmyIssue on here. For gloves and boots it really depends on what you want. If you look hard you can get wicked tactical gloves (check out Hatch if you haven't already) for about $50. Decent boots vary in price. If you're just looking for something cheap, go to the local surplus store. But don't get boots that are too crappy or your feet will be upset. For a BDU I'd recommend a suit of Frontenac. One or two are usually posted in the buy/sell/trade forum here every week or so.
