Vietnam War Airsoft Gear,
Vietnam gear has a special place in my heart and I took the time to make a video about the stuff that I use. In this video I will go over the basic gear that I use but also some stuff that you can add to the gear to make it a bit more interesting.
I will also talk about Vietnam Airsoft Events and what is special about them and where you can find them.
This gear is made to play airsoft games, this is not 100% historical accurate, but I keep that historical background in mind while making a kit.
Do you play have an older kit that you like to use, if yes, what is it?
Enjoy the video!

I’m also working on a kit. My great grandfather recently passed and we found his service stuff, including his jacket and medals. Of course the jacket is absurdly large on me so I went to a nearby army surplus and got a jacket and pants my size (they made literally every size you can think of back then)

@VerageAirsoft 2 года назад

That's really nice to make a kit like that. If a kit has some personal touch it makes it more special. Honoring your great grandfather like that is nice. Now the bigger shirts should be OK for a kit because when they were in the field, clothing was dropped and you just had to be lucky if it was in your size. That's also the reason why you see pictures with people without tags on the jacket.

@jeffreyhansen2806 11 месяцев назад

I was in the 1st Cav in Vietnam '68-'69. The Cav did not issue the boonie hat (Hat, Jungle). We were not allowed wear them even if acquired by other means.

@VerageAirsoft 11 месяцев назад

That's indeed the info we got from different people. The boonie hat was something special. When we went to events we had a special letter that was send to a unit (not 1st Cav) that they were not following the grooming standard. We displayed that letter in front of our base. This gave us a bit of freedom to use different things. I like comments like this, because it's not easy to know and find what was allowed in every unit. You can find pictures, but you're never sure if it's about that specific unit or timeframe. Thank you

Great kit. I have Vietnam issue gear I’ve collected over the years when it was more available. I love to wear my jungle utilities, I got my web gear put together and hanging up where I can view it every day. I wear my bush (boonie) hat almost every day during the warm months. Field jacket in cool weather. People don’t realize it but field jackets were worn in the Vietnam highlands, cooler wetter weather during their winter monsoon season. Great video.

@pfcparts7728 2 года назад

Realistically you don’t really need the m56 buttpack, as most guys would have been using a rucksack with a pack frame, and a buttpack would just get in the way. You can actually run around in a belt with the pouches laid out as is in this video, just without the buttpack. Also in terms of name tapes and uniform insignia, due to the nature of the flimsiness of the uniforms the men would often go through uniforms weekly, so it was not as common to actually have any rank patches or unit insignia sewn onto replacements. As for the m1956 lbe, you don’t really need the whole kit with all the pouches. A lot of guys later would just have a belt with like 5 canteens on it and they would wear their bandoliers to carry ammo instead, and they would not wear suspenders with it either, mostly for comfort. REMEMBER to stuff your pockets! Canned food, cleaning kit, cigs, socks, you name it. Use your pockets as a dump pouch, use them for bbs, just don’t leave the, empty. As for helmets or headgear, while some troops would not wear a helmet, most did, like 90% did. Pretty much all the pictures of men on patrol wore helmets. This was more for morale and a sense of safety than anything, same reason for why pretty much every picture of vets had two or more bandoliers.

@VerageAirsoft 2 года назад

Damn, thanks for this reply. This is interesting to talk about. The reason I carry the buttpack, it's personal prefference. I like how it looks and mostly I don't carry a backpack. So that buttpack gives me some storage space for the short day events. But you're totally right, in most cases the buttpack was not used. The personal setup, or at least the option to do that, is awesome on this kit. It's up to you what you want to use on what occasion. The mag pouches are handy to story all kind of little things, up to my smartphone (yes I know :D). Bandoleers are a bitch :D Stuffing the pockets, that's a really good point, I did not mention that in the video. But yes, use the pockets. Well, one of my pockets is ripped, I keep it like that because of the look. But the other one are used to put a lot of small items. My deadrag is also in a cargo pocket. The nametags, you're right again. It's not needed to have them their and there was also a friend that had clothes that were to big and he cut them to length. That was a story he read about clothing being dropped in certain sizes, but there was not always the right size for everyone. Funny details. While a helmet is cool and correct to wear, mine is a cheap one and hurts my head because of the bad clips inside of it. I'll find a way to make that better and wear it the next event. :P Again, thanks for the awesome reply!

@gavinnewkirk7861 2 года назад

I have a collection of m56 web gear. Personally, I enjoy the buttpack because it balances the weight of my universal ammunition pouches.

@VerageAirsoft 2 года назад

@@gavinnewkirk7861 Also true. I try to keep my canteens filled to counter that front weight. Especially when I'm running with grenades on the ammo pouches.

@Themaxwithnoname 10 месяцев назад

The Osprey book on US & Allied equipment which was written by a vet, states that essentially the helmets were a bitch, hot, heavy, restricted vision & hearing, and that boonie hats were far more popular, for the above reasons.

@shockwave6213 2 месяца назад

For urban ops or instances where artillery is expected, a helmet is the way to go, but in a jungle/woodland patrol environment, the boonie hat is your best friend for both camouflage and sun protection. They can also enhance your hearing is angled right. 99.9% of the time, the helmet isn't going to stop rifle rounds under 400 meters/yards, since their primary role is to stop shrapnel.

@cheekymonkey444 Месяц назад

True Spec makes fine repro rip stop jungle fatigues. I like my Asian Tiger Stripe jungle fatigues. None were ever issued to US forces, but a soldier could have a set made by a local tailor. When I was in, ( draftee '72-74) they were transitioning to nylon web gear. We were issued fanny packs, but never rucksacks. My first issue of jungle fatigues had all patches installed. Any other sets were plain. We were not allowed to display rank, unit, or name. Most of the time, our fatigues were so far gone after a few patrols that we were issued new ones instead of washing our old ones.

@VerageAirsoft Месяц назад

I love information like that. Thank you very much for taking the time to do so. I will take a look at the true spec one, it's a question that comes back often, where to find good fatigues.

@vedadc.8727 2 года назад

I don’t know if someone in the comments have already made this suggestion. A company called Rothco makes a G.I style jungle boot, both all black and the classic Vietnam era green and black color. The boots are replicas but appearance wise look solid. They do come with various sizes and are relatively inexpensive. I used to own a pair that were a size 12 myself, cost me about $40 USD with some change. If you’re looking to use the green and black ones for your kit, so you don’t have to use your authentic 1966 pair, I’d recommend them. Just a fair warning they are a bit of a pain to break in. They’ll require a bit of usage but it’s mainly the leather like material they use. All in all your gear looks great, a fine job.

@VerageAirsoft 2 года назад

Thanks! That would be awesome. Yeah, I don't like to ruin the original ones. They are gotten a rarity to find them in good sizes.

@ncc17701a 10 месяцев назад

Nice set up. The thing I am missing most is the light-weight ponchos. Used to be able to get them from the local market. I had three, but lost them over the years. Damned hard to replace now. I keep on looking (I picked up one a few months back finally). Still, with quite a few webbing sets to finish off, I still need to find a few more. Pride of place in my collection has to be 2 complete sets of M1967 webbing (including the butt packs). Took years and years to complete those!

@VerageAirsoft 10 месяцев назад

The search for the right kit isn't easy :D I had one lightweigh ponch but that one was almost competely destroyed on the neck part, where the 2 parts come together. I didn't found another one yet, because I don't use it. I do have a german heavyweight which looks very simular to the US one.

@jastrapper190 Год назад

I know they had satchel charges in WWII (with TNT I believe). I served in the Marine Corps (more recently) and still have a couple of satchel charge bags that used to contain a number of 1 1/4 [lb] sticks of C4 plastic explosives and tagents (blasting caps pre crimped on sections of det cord for linking satchels together for detonation). Anyway I’m very confident that the type of satchel charge canvas bag is exactly what was being used in Vietnam. Same colors, fabrics, stitching, dimensions, etc since it’s a standard that hasn’t changed. Anyway look into this bag. Very very simple but bombproof design. Utilizes ties for closure. Handles designed to allow you to throw the bag into a bunker stitched along sides. It’s a great unique bag that infantryman (or any MOS) would have adapted for a GP bag. Similar to a repurposed claymore bag. Which I also used in Iraq once emptied and is exactly the same as those issued in the 60’s 70’s (I believe). Careful going to an airport however because the explosive “residue” is still very much in the fabric of a satchel charge bag. Lol cheers

@VerageAirsoft 5 месяцев назад

No worries, I'm still active. :P The insignia is a mix of different things. Because of the reenactment team I was in we decided to look trough the names that actually served in vietnam. We looked up the information of that specific person and because of that, learn more about the specific situation of a single person instead of the usual big stories that we read in all the books. The person specific isignia is chosen like that. The rank isignia is chosen on my place in the reenactment team. We had a small group of leading people and most of the people had the private or PFC rank to make the group as accurate as possible to portrait a unit. Some people chose not to wear any insignia because that is also happened when clothing was dropped in the field to replace broken one. There are a few good books about vietnam uniforms and insignia 'uniforms of the vietnam war'. We also were lucky that one of our guys had a crazy amount of knowledge of this and helped most of us to put them in the right place and chose the correct insignia.

@@VerageAirsoft Metal Canteens are also nice because you can cook in them.

@@huntclanhunt9697 I have never tried it but you're right. That's why it says on the plastic ones, don't cook in it :D

If this guy is a U.S. Vet of any era I'll give him a pass but if not aren't you a bit old for "playing Army". From this Vets perspective you look ridiculous. Collecting gear of course is a hobby, playing dress up and wearing CIBs is another kettle of fish altogether. Suggestion for you; remove the CIBs and CMBs off of your fatigues. Sacred stuff, you got no business wearing them and can the response that you are doing it to honor recipients.

It took a while before this first comment popped up. We will not find a common ground in an online discussion. I can only say that I wear the outfit with respect for the history about it. It's keeping the history alive. About the 'playing army' comment, it's an interesting discussion. Is it really playing army or is it playing games in the outdoors. (not talking about this specific uniform, there are specific reenactment airsoft games for this). You probably have seen more of my videos before you made this commment and know that I play airsoft on a regular basis. It's taking gaming into a physical activity, stimulating brain and body at the same time. Thank you for your feedback

Vietnam wasn't an FN Airsoft game. Get a grip, Rambo. Run around your backyard with your rubber knife.

It's been a while when someone like you commented on the video. There is no statement in the video that I say that Vietnam was an Airsoft game. I think you must have a very busy life to comment on all the videos made about airsoft videos, games or reeneactors that every mention the vietnam war. I had several conversation with Vietnam veterans about what I do and how I do it. I still have to have the first one that stands up to me, irl, and talk without any bit of respect, like the way you do now. Good job on keeping their legacy alive.
