I was just thinking be kinda neat if we could all have basicly the same outfit for the large IAA games...I could see if weapon blender could give us a discount let me know guys. (This will only be for the fully active BIA members.) www.weaponblender.com/index.php?categoryID=105If we do decide to order one of these we'll create a poll.

Contactor, looks pretty cool. Not something you see everyday. And since its a contractor look, it would ok to have different guns (G36's, M4's, M16's, MP5s, etc)

Heer-infantry, more along the lines of the wooded areas we play in or would. The contractor, is more along the lines of a desert enviroment.

Kid makes a good point about the contractor loadout: they have the freedom to use different weapons, whereas the German's are all going to be using G36's and MP7's.
I also agree with Reaper about the Heer-infantry: BIA plays all woodland games, so I don't know that tan-based uniforms are the best pick.
However, once again, the contractor look does allow for a lot of personal preference and variation. For instance, you can all have the same gear (chest rig, pads, hat, gloves) and still have different variations of BDU's (OD, tan, gray).
I don't think the contractor look is very original though, the major airsoft forums are full of contractor loadouts and impressions. I think the Heer-infantry/Panzer loadouts are by far the most original. The Urban Elite looks pretty awesome in my opinion, but it's use is very limited. I also think that it is the most likely to be mis-identified in public, and I don't think it's the greatest idea to impersonate (even for airsoft purposes) law enforcement officers.
I didn't vote though, because I know that I'm no longer an active member of BIA, but I just thought I would share my opinions. Whichever loadout you decide on, I would be more than willing to shop around and find the best possible deal, I have been pretty fortunate in that area so far.

I beg to differ... you are an active member...

i think contractor works best for any team, basicly because most contractors use whatever they have availible or what suits the terrian. It dont have to be tan/dessert, you could use OD or woodland... After all woodland is cheap and plentifull.... Poser out....

im leaning towards the "contractor also... the "heer" had a backpak [if that is part of the loadout, is anybody gonna fight with it on?] "panzer" looks cool, but how "strict" are we gonna be with the weapons?... "contractor, IMO, does give us a lot of freedom to use whatever weapons... and its also tru [since they arent "furnished" anything from any government] that we could "alter the camo to fit our needs... now my question is this. do we HAVE to get the "tan" stuff to get the package deal? im tryin to picture all tan gear, and woodland camo BDU's... or do we wanna go with some sort of the newer digital green stuff... but that would take us back out of THIS "package deal", wouldnt it... are these the only load out they will offer? [due to overstock or lack of sales?] if we stay with U>S> based camo, [readily available, even for newer guys], and then go with a team oriented loadout, [pick a color/style] would that be cool???

I tried to get this going but everyone was happy with just wearing bdu's which honestly doesn't bother me but I'd like to see a few of us match a bit better.
Maybe with more members now we can bring this back up.
