Re: ww2 Usa load out

Your gun loadout could be a Thompson M1A1 and a Colt M1919 (I think that's it...)

Re: ww2 Usa load out

grease gun, garand, m1 carbine, m1 carbine para stock... plenty of options. Also, consider airborne kit, infantry kit and so on

Re: ww2 Usa load out

if your thinkin about a us ww2 loadout and dont really know what you need i would say dont go for it as it just wouldnt look right

but before i get all in a rant, a few questions.

1) Wat kinda look do you want, airbourne, infrantry etc
2)Wats your budget?
3) how detailed do you want to get?
4) what gun (everyone knows what gun they want)?

heres a tip, google
also get in touch with some proper reanactors and they will have a lot more knowlage to help you with kit rather than the average softer'

Thompson bits right, but I think the colt you mean is the M1911A1. The
M1919 is a .30 caliber machine gun produced by Browning

Re: ww2 Usa load out

if your going to do it, you might aswell do it right.

airborne :
for the operation overlord: using a thompson, folding stock carbine;
corcoran jump boots
m42 jump suit
M1C para helmet with hessian
M36 suspenders,
waterbottle and mug,
1st aid pouch,
Musette bag,
pistol belt and
2 x large rigger pouches


for an m1 garand or BAR you replace the web belt for either a garand belt or BAR belt, also for m1 carbine replace large rigger pouches for 2X m1 carbine pouches.

for operation market garde and after, so holland, belgium, germany and eagles nest
m43 jump suit
m1c para helmet no hessian
all of the webbing the same apart from it has to be '44 dated,
buckle boots

for infantry you will need
m1 helmet with netting
m41 jacket
HBT trousers
roughout boots
UA infantry gaiters
either same webbing as above without the mussette bag but have a haversack
or assualt vest and get an e-tool for the back and load up with the applicable

and for both you'll need the para first aid kit.

guns for airborne

m1919A4 .30 callibre browning light machine gun
thompson
folding stock m1 carbine
b.a.r.
m1 garand
1919a1 .45 cal pistol

any german gun aswell, as a captured weapon
for operation market garden and later you could have the m1919A6 .30 calibre browning light machine gun

infantry

m1 carbine full stock
thompson
B.A.R.
not so common but m1919A4 .30 calibre browning light machine gun
1919a1 .45 cal pistol
m1 garand
