ok, I'm going to buy the next piece of the puzzle for my afghanka loadout but wtf are these soldiers wearing - it seems like in these pictures they like to wear this flak jacket type vest over their bdus but under their vests:

Thinking of doing a District 9 PMC style loadout make it look like this:
[img_thumb]http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/8033/fr1kv4.jpg[/img_thumb]
Only with a tan flight suit and MNU patches and whatnot
Should I?
not many(any) of the PMCs look like that but yeah go ahead
I would say lose the helmet, and either wear a sand/brown balaclava or a beanie since that's what they seem to wear the most

I think you're looking for a 6B3. I don't know where to buy them though because Soviet Propaganda sold out of them.
and 2 days ago i ordered government contract made ACUs for like 40 dollars on ebay.
[QUOTE=oakman26;28531461]Awwww man! This guy at my school went to britain and came back with one of the desert bdus. I am jelly.[/QUOTE]
Desert DPM is really easy to get though. Now if he had MTP on the other hand, that would be something to be jealous of.

This is a WW2 re-enactment, however it's similar to airsoft battles because we do more or less the same thing except instead of airsoft weapons and BB's it's real weapons and blanks. And an honor system for deaths.
I do have airsoft kit though if I can be bothered to dig through my hard drive for pictures.
How do you tell if you're hit if you're firing blanks?
Still, pretty rad shit.
[QUOTE=venom;28580226]How do you tell if you're hit if you're firing blanks?

An honor system lol.
Or it's planned. "We rush the machine gun nest, take 50% casualties, some melee occurs, but eventually americans win". Usually to that effect.
There are also some blanks that have tiny bits of cardboard in them that behave similarly to a bb, however they require eye protection so we don't use them for displays that involve the public. Suspension of disbelief and all that.

Well I mean, how do you tell that you're supposed to be hit? I mean like the honor system works in airsoft because you [I]know[/I] you're hit because you hear or feel the bb hit you, but there really isn't anything to determine when you're firing blanks.
Not that I think it's stupid or anything, which is what it seems like I'm saying, but I'm just curious since this kind of stuff looks pretty awesome.

If you're out in the open and a machinegun opens up then you die.
If you're in cover you have a shootout til you get bored, run out of ammo, gun gets a pretty bad jam, or some other thing occurs that makes obvious that you should die.
There's not as much competitiveness as airsoft, as you would expect
Most people are in it for a love of WW2 history and militaria and a vague attempt at a military lifestyle (Camping out in the woods, Rifle drill and whatnot) and putting on a show.
That looks badass.
Do they have anything like that for Vietnam?

Yes actually, I have some photos from an event I went to last year, if I can find them. Kinda hard to get photos because we have to trawl through facebook from the public.

And here is a video. Video doesn't do it justice though, the organizer of that particular event had his head very far up his ass. And sorry about the music.

How often do jams occur?
Blanks are pretty goddamn dirty so I would imagine you deal with it every 100 to 300 rounds or so.
So I would assume that any automatic weapons must be converted to semi, right?
