How to Build a Basic Vietnam Era Pandora Necklaces Clearance Loadout for Airsoft aka

The concept of Namsofting (Vietnam based airsofting) has been catching on in the world of airsoft for several years now.

When compared to all the fancy modern day equipment that goes with present era loadouts, Namsoft loadouts look rather simple and primitive. In all honsety they really are; thats part of the appeal for me (and I'm sure a few other Namsoft enthusiasts). BDU's, some web gear, ammo, and your weapons. Skill and presence of mind was what kept them alive.

With that said, the loadout I will talk about here today will very general. It's not that I dont like tigerstripe (honestly it is a very cool looking camo pattern), it's just that tiger stripe did not really get used that much (most pics of SpecOp's I have seenshow them wearing jeand with OD jackets), so all the tiger stripe uniforms you see at Namsoft op's justmake it seemfake.

Also it should be said that gear come in 3 basic groups: 1.

The 1st thing to look for is your "steel pot" style M1 helmet, and the omnipresent cloth cover. The band around it is optional.

The steel pot helmet desgin was used for a good number of years and the design only changed slightly over the years. Also it was not unheard of to have older gear recycled and one might even see a buddy wearing a WW2 era steel pot helmet. This gives some historical leeway as far as the helmet goes, although theses helmets are rarley hard to find.

A good way to make the helmet look more authentic would be scriibles a few odds and ends of graffiti onto your helmet. I have seen quite a few picture of soldiers with doodles and scribbles on their helmet covers.

The most common and popular camo associated with the Vietnam war is the tiger stripe, but unfortunatley the vast majority of soldiers Ive spoken told me that most troops never wore anything but the OD fatigues.

Special forces were more likely to wear the tiger stripe patterns, but they did not always wear it either. I do no know if its true, but I have heard that alot of special forces teams didnt wear it often because it tend to seem "aggressive" to the non violent citizens.

Your best bet is to go with your basic OD's to start with. Their are plenty of repro's of various quality, and many original uniforms still exist.

Web gear was issued quite a bit in the military, in fact it wasnt until ALICE type gear came out towards the end of the Vietnam warthat web gear would be replaced. ALICE would later be replaced with MOLLE gear around 1997.

A good general year of equipment is the M56. You will want to get at least one of all these (and more than 1 of some): ammo pouches, 1st aid pouch, pistol belt, canteen+pouch, and suspenders. If you find a better deal on a different year, just try tomake sure that you keep all the years similiar.

woodland was never used in nam so that helmet is not right, od green is what you should use as uniform and Mitchel pattern helmet cover military collector

Technically you are incorrect, that helmet could be accurate. ERDL camo was issued during the Vietnam war to some units. The helmet is period accurate and could be part of a Vietnam era loadout.

Don't forget ERDL Fatigues for 1969 and after for USMC and 1970 and after for the Army, even though they never really used them to the extent as the USMC.
