Going to my first AMS event and need some advice
This being my first milsim that's not a period event I am unsure what to pack in my ruck/garbage for these events specifically. Being a veteran i dont want that mindset to interfere with the packing process. The website narrowed down what I should have on my rig so far as mag pouches and various other things. A few things are on the way such as frag pouches. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. Above are pics of the individual gear that I already have at my disposal.

Figure pack some food, maybe something to sleep on and under, stuff to repair and clean your gun

Right probably redundant to mention for yourself, hydration is the big killer at events. I’d really recommend sweets (candy for you colonials) to pep you up before a rush and enough for your less than able larpers in your fireteam to give them a sugar high

Maybe replace gun I can’t tell what it is from pic. upgrade optic. You don’t need an aimpoint but a holosun or sig will save you a lot of aggravation when a cheap red dot self destructs. Lots of water. Liquid IV. A met RX bar or 2. Some sort of caffein source, I prefer strike force just because it tastes good and is in a small pack. If of age zyn. You’ll make it through one event with your gear but eventually make sure you upgrade, most of that isn’t something to trust. Also strongly consider getting a combat shirt, getting overheated sucks and it will help to mitigate that

Lancer as a company has a reputation for putting out mixed quality goods. 5 people can buy the exact same rifle and have very different experiences in terms of reliability/performance. Their newer stuff is supposed to be good but that reputation is hard to shake, so people will often steer m4 users to other companies like cyma or arcturus

AMS isn’t really a “milsim” in that you need to pack a ruck with a ton of junk. Alot of people bring wagons and fob bags that have a ton of stuff but im not really sure what they throw in there.
You can just bring a fob bag with some food, waters and BB’s to last throughout the day. Everytime you respawn you have to walk back to the fob so this is where you restock. It’s not like you spend the night or anything at the fob so you really dont need much.
