Got a question about Vietnam Figures with reference to their gear?
Post your Q&A here!



I've been trying to research what gear different soldiers like gunners, tunnel rats, standard soldier, flamer etc wore for a kitbash and it seems they wore what they liked!

Was there any set standard for uniform or was it a "whatever you feel comfortable in" to a certain degree?

Also did people used to carry more than one main weapon?

Ask someone who was there. It all varied. My buddy in their unit, 25th infantry. carried mostly ammo and water on their sweeps.
Now this worked for their unit in the area of Chu-Chi.
I am not saying all sweeps and units were the same.
They would see Marines all loaded down with everything imaginable, all they would tell them is "you'll be sorry".
