Goggles, some face paint for my forehead, and a bandana to cover everything under the eyes. I spray painted the bandana camo of course. It doesn't make bbs hurt less but it keeps them away from my teeth! I should get mesh though.

for the most part I use face paint, because as a sniper I'm rarely seen so I really don't need face protection. (but I haven't played airsoft with more than 15 people at a time so that could be the cause of not getting hit)

My mouth protector sits on a pouch of my balaclava, which is green. Very. Army man.

But, that is really just to protect my teeth. My real concealment is a long scrim in my chosen camo. I wear it like a shemag and pull it up and drap it when I need it. This method provides some extra utility also.

Addendum: I have to say that mouth guards are really essential to the sport. Unless one has really good dental coverage and can somehow afford to replace teeth all the time(and they can only be replaced a few times before nothing can be done), something needs to go over the teeth. Neoprene is not good enough.

Damn. Now I have soggy noodles. Thanks for nothing, bare-faced players. Someone is fixing for a Rudolf.

I just got myself a mesh mouth guard. Even if you can chew through jaw breakers (yes, the real kind) like I can, it is still possible for your teeth to get shattered by a low velocity bb. It just has to hit it right.

Hope this is not too much of a necro-post. I was playing a game yesterday, at one point I was spotted by a pair of enemy riflemen that came out of a creek bed 50 meters off to my side (it was a capture the flag match and I had made myself a hide to cover the flag) they did not spot me at first, but one of them noticed my goggles, which are solid black against my M81 woodland poncho I was using to break up my outline, and the coyote brown balaclava I use to cover my face. Does anyone have advice on how to break up the lack of pattern on goggles?

For reference I use these goggles

For all the people saying their teeth got broken and they really wish they had their teeth back and whatnot, why can't you just get the fixed? I don't think fixed is the right word, but let me explain. My brother got one of his front teeth busted and the dentist glued on like this fake tooth thing on what was left of the tooth, and now you can't tell he ever broke it. Have you guys never heard of this or is there a reason you can't do it?

Dude really? Because everyone got kick ass dental benefits out of nowhere right? Mean is it better to be able to fix a broken tooth, or to never have broken a tooth? Food for thought.

Have you ever HAD a broken tooth? It's PAINFUL! Forget the 'unsightly' teeth, it just frickin' hurts! Like KKranium said, it's better to never have the issue.

As for changing the color and outline of your goggle frame, a lot depends on the material and the size of the goggle frame. One option is to remove/tape up the lenses and actually paint the frame. Another is to look in to goggles that already have a frame that blends, like these: http://www.kastwayairsoft.com/Products/Revision-Desert-Locust-Goggles---Tan--Clear__4-0309-0501.aspx

or these: http://www.evike.com/product_info.p...33747&osCsid=b2f2a31c6221f2afc148d785a2afe98d

Also, another option is to make sure you have enough veg/burlap strips crossing your face to break up the outline.

I've had two of my teeth broken....by my little brother.
They have never looked the same and won't until they are crowned (Which can't be done until you are over 18) I can only have them capped. And when I can crown them it'll cost over a 1000 quid to get it done. + fake teeth are never as strong as real ones and if you brake a tooth the nerves can still live (Which is actually better if you want a crowning etc.) but it can be real painful to do anything with the tooth. Thankfully my nerves are fine AND my teeth don't hurt.
