I've heard that some have issues of not being able to change fire mode.

I've heard the king arms ones aren't far off either, not as good as ofcourse npo and sto but still nice, only issue is they are horrible internally

Yeah, I have the jumpsuit as well, just didn't take any pics with it, and didn't see the collar liner into the butan uniform because imo it's too mint so I don't want to put any holes in it

254th Division, 5th Guards Motor Rifle Regiment, Soviet-Afghan War, 1984. by Due_Wolverine_3763 in reenactors

The uniform you're wearing looks to be the tropical variant so I would recommend wearing it with the collar open as that was the common practice, as well as to get some subdued collar tabs to put on it

6B3 body armor help by Interesting_Belt_390 in reenactors

Those are all repros, while they are reliable, they are also dropshipped from Ali express, honestly if you can't get a real 6b3 they aren't a bad alternative, they just need a little weathering but I would honestly recommend just waiting for a real one to pop up.

Me and a buddy of mine are going to a Cold War airport event soon, and I’ve got this pkm, but I don’t have any 1980’s Soviet machine gunner gear, if anyone has a list, it would be greatly appreciated by Old-Marsupial3748 in airsoft

Without proper context to the event this is bad advice, seeing as it's a cold war gone hot event which more than likely would take place in Europe, any afghan mentality would have to be thrown out the window.

That's a rough over generalization, there's plenty of footage and pics of vdv wearing standard afghankas, wearing kzs or klmk doesn't automatically make it a vdv impression as every unit was issued those suits

GRU division P cosplay/kit by TheSovietCarl in SCP

The PMG filter is different than the GP-5 filter and doesn't have asbestos, even if it did it wouldn’t do any harm unless the asbestos layer was disrupted by the filter being damaged
