Sorry for yet another post, but us n00bs have questions.

I'm going to be getting into the sport with some regularity, but I will freely admit that cash flow will be tight until my wife goes back to work. Perhaps the timing is not great, but I've got the bug, so I might as well go with it.

I'd like to know what order you would make your purchases in, and where the deals are.

I imagine the order would be:

1. Starter AEG (for CQB) and Case
2. Accessories (red-dot scope, mags)
3. Protective Gear (mask, tac vest)
4. BDUs
5. Tactical Gear (pouches, holster, sling)
6. Sidearm
7. Long-term AEG (for outdoors)

The reason I list 2 AEGs is that I think I have a line on #1. BC Airsoft Supply is bringing in UTG MP5-A4/5 bundles for $219 including 2 double-cap mags, 1000mah battery and charger. I know it's not a great gun, but it's one I can afford to buy at the moment and is apparently quite good for the price. It shouldn't put me at a huge disadvantage at XT, or even for small outdoor games.

For #2 I am eyeing RedWolf but I would rather buy Canadian whenever possible. I can also assume that whomever I get the scopes from would also be a good spot to get #s 3 through 5. At that point I should have a working wife, and some more cash to throw around on a sidearm and primary outdoor AEG.

So, would anyone suggest a different order or purchase? Is the UTG going to cut it for a year or so?

Thanks,
