WW2 US Airborne and infantry kit guides!

[101stairborne-506]

i posted this a couple of years ago i think, but obviously it's been lost, and as ww2 airsoft is becoming more and more popular, i just found it, and decided to re-post it to help people out!

remember i did write this two years ago, so there may be some mistakes!

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 garden 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

d-day based





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.
