What to Bring:

If available: comms radios with headsets
Clear lens eye protection

If you have their own sim bolts and rifles make sure they bring theirs as the MTU ones don’t have any slings or optics on them.
If you have cleaning kits with a bore punch bring that since sim rifles tend to jam up a lot and rounds get stuck in the chamber
Bring what you can, the MTU has some helmets and holsters.
