What is holding you back from doing the Nam?

[Android]

Now that I have an M60 and an AK, all I need to do is find some appropriate uniforms (US & VN).

The distance to Vietnam conflict simulations is what keeps me back.

I'm often surprised when people think that a Nam kit is expensive. A person can be completely outfitted with original kit for $200. For $100, they can have a "get me by" kit easy enough as well. The MCHA has deuce gear in stock for members to use, and buy- we also are more than happy to sell it to others who are considering a Nam impression.

So what would be different in a veitnam era style battle, then a regular type of airsoft game except for the uniforms?

G.I. you die, one hour. OK!? OK!!


i have put together a NAM era kit and it only cost me about $150 or so. the boots are cheap from rothco, or even the altimas are pretty cheap. get the canvas upper for $65. the gear only cost me $30 altogether, and its all m56 (thats the cotton duck canvas right? i think it is.) the only big choice you have to make is this. nylon gear or canvas? nylon late war gear is easy to find. its the canvas stuff that isn't. at least arround here. the bdu's are 60$ from rothco. if yuo want to go with vc thats easy too. go down and buy some black chefworks pants w/o cargo pocket and roll them up and a black button up shirt from jc penny for $10 and then find yourself an ak and a period chest rig ($25 at your local surplus store). and youre set. or tan or kacki slacks(surplus marine or navy slacks) and a button down tan sirt that matches the color of the pants and the ak chest rig i mentioned earlier and there you go! vc army regular. watch the movie "we were soldiers" those unis were spot on for the most part, for early NAM era.
