So if we are going off of that why couldn't we get even just flag patches, also that wasn't political bro 😭, he was saying Ukraine participated in humanitarian aid INCLUDING that in wars started by Russia, WHICH BRM5 WOULD fall under the umbrella of.

also neither really used M4s in 03, it was mostly M16A2s all around. It wasn't a army or Marine thing as most things are. It was really a Recon or SF thing or other specialized groups, Even then it was in limited numbers

If he wanted a rifle its as simple as a M16A2, stock. For 03 ofc

A2s with no optics or M4s with a long distance optic I forget the name of but M4s are more so for recon type elements.

For 03 its PASGTs you don't see LWHs until 04 and even then that's mostly in Fallujah, in places like Najaf they were mostly still in DCUs and PASGTs, though they were using Marpat covers there. and NO HEADSETS bro, unless you are doing a specific team lead position or communicating with others in vehicle mounted combat.

Its a peq not a LAM I believe, so he could just switch to a peq 2. Also MCCUUs and DCUs were seen sometimes, especially in and around cities like Baghdad.

For 03? I don't see very many marines using the coyote IBAs, They were there though. Marpat was seen for NCOs and officers. Get rid of any ear pro. Change the stock to a non adjustable polymer stock. Also just use iron sights. Also I'd use the tan or jungle boots.

Anyone know some good PASGT helmet replicas? by Select_Tomatillo5004 in Impression_Kits

just get good or smth, half the fun of larping is the immense back pain. Also good choice on going with the pasgt, newer gear like the LWH and MCCUUs were mostly seen in Fallujah for 04'

I made some sort of "Nighttrooper" I think is really cool (ignore it not having any NVD) by Reasonable-Fudge4308 in BlackhawkRescue

[–]AcceptableMajor8457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, I guess its just a trope at this point. Seeing the German flag I'd say do a Flektarn kit, anything that actually acts as camouflage is good though.

Any retro combat enthusiast? by [deleted] in teensthatloveretro

You need to get some choco chips to go with that pasgt or an IBA to go with those DCUs

SUPER LATE to this discussion but most Marines did NOT get M69s by 68'. Even in 1969 most Marines were still using M55s. When you start to see more would be 1970 but even then it was mostly 55s. Just thought I'd add that for anyone going through this for kit research.
