No, no, no, no and no.

It is the responsibility of the player to kit himself out, not the responsibility of others to provide for him. When I go to any game, I have rifle with a functional backup. I have a GBB with a functional back-up. I have my planned BDUs for the day, as well as kit with a fallback for a lighter load if it is hot.

I come with BBs (I don't pester people a week before to buy some), batteries fully charged (not sitting there borrowing someones charger an hour before game time). I bring a radio, food, water, boots, several eyewear options, kill rag, bug spray, antifog, paper towels, minimal tools to do emergency repair (usually to other guys guns) or adjustments. I get my ass there early, gear up and am ready to go in a matter of minutes. Then I have time to BS with other guys. I load my mags the night before to keep gear-up time to a minimum. I don't show up late, and I don't pester guys to borrow things.

This is called self-sufficiency. It works in other areas of life as well.
