A Korean war impression wouldn't be too hard for most of us.... they reused so much ww2 stuff... all that "too late" for ww2 stuff that stitch nazi attack ww2 impressions for... would work nicely ha ha.

Has anyone seen "The Brotherhood of War"? It's a very well done recent war movie about the Korean War, produced my South Korea. Also there's the Movie "Porkchop Hill", and lets not forget M*A*S*H*. There is a Korean War reenactor forum. theforgottenwar.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=register2

I don't know if I'd use MASH as a historical reference for the Korean War! Pork Chop Hill is THE best Korean War film to date. There is also a movement in blank fire to do KW events. The weapons are out there for blank fire. Not so much AS. Affordable ones anyway.

Would anyone care to share what uniforms and gear US troops wore during the Korean War specifically?

the south korean movie is called taeguki... i think the english title brotherhood of war is pretty lame. it's a pretty good movie, production values are on par with band of brothers or any other recent ww2 film. there have been a few other korean war-based films out of south korea recently that are pretty good as well. a good list/overview can be found here: koreanfilm.org/warfilms.html

I'm up for it, anyone who has a WWII impression is already set. Good excuse to use the M2 Carbine. Now all we have to do is get AGM to make an PPSH 41 for the Chinese and North Koreans. Fixed it for you

I looked quite a bit (not for a reenactor site but airsoft) but I didnt find anything

i find nothing wrong with that. this may have been discussed to death already but i think race should not play a part to reenacting, especially if individuals are actually interested in learning about who they are portraying, rather than just dressing up like it's halloween. at our namsoft events, the NVA players learn about actual period tactics, strategies and everyday life for the NVA grunt and live it as well to a certain extent.

It doesn't bother me either , if i am in the middle of combat i don't look at faces.
Since i have both Amie and German imps , sometimes when Amie numbers are low at a Blank fire event , i will switch to being Amie , a lot of times other Germans who know me will not fire at me because they look at me and they go "oh it's Ed " next thing they know BANG i put a round in them.
So a White Guy portraying a Chinese People's Army soldier or a North Korean , Nathaniel Victor or Victor Charles is not a big deal to me.
Besides if you only limit actual Chinese , Koreans and Vietnamese to portray the enemy , then all you will have are a bunch of White Guys runinng around the woods with nothing to do .

I won't do blank fire Pacific,or Vietnam events because of that. Nothing looks worse than seeing a 6 foot Caucasian guy with blonde hair in a Jap or VC uniform yelling in a faux Jap/Vietnamese accent.
Just my opinion.

Not any worse than a 5'4" , 300 lbs British Para with a horrible fake British accent , or a Ranger company made up of 2 guys , one a Captain and the other a Second Lieutenant, or as M3 Half Track with the name Vader's Death Star armed with a pair of M2 MG's and apparently made up of some kind of super secret armor that neither a Panzerfaust or Panzerschreck can't penetrate.

BINGO! WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! thats what we should be concentrated about! not white guys dressed up as VC or IJA(and remember asians have white skin too(we also need all the enemys we can get)), but the people who are unrealistic with the invinco armor, 2nd lieutenant and captain in the same squad, and many more things.

that is one of the stupidest and one of the more racist things i've read on this forum in the past few days. i'd like to believe that this forum really isn't about narrow racist views.

And you're absolutely right there as well! There's nothing worse than seeing these HUGE guys in FJ, American and Brit airborne units. Half these guys wouldn't even fit in a plane let alone even get in the military at their size,but I digress.. This is also why me and the guys in my unit in blank fire, don't go out and run around the field anymore. We've been doing this for 20 years now,and had enough of the "bulletproof" "I'm more elite than you" American paras with a gazillion rounds of ammo! We just go out in the field,find a nice quiet corner,and dig in, eat our period rations, and basically ignore the powder burners who come our way.! LOL! All this aside, YES, it looks silly to see these obese guys out there,but I think it is worse, to see guys portray another ethnic group, ie; Asians, and look really bad doing it, and yelling in a really bad, almost cartoonish voice "you die GI!". This is why I don't do VN and or Pacific events. No big loss for me,I have plenty of other events to go to where I won't miss out on anything.

why are people here so racist? If anyone want to learn about the people they are portraying, there is nothing wrong with that. I find this is amusing in a airsoft forum when real reenacting is open for everyone. I've known a black guy doing WSS and a white guy doing IJA, and these guys are hardcore reenactors. People don't give them applesauce for what they are doing, why are you discouraging people from doing what they want to do? It is a Hobby, and AZN INVENTED AIRSOFT for you.

All im really getting at is i dont really care who plays what side. I just want enough enemies/allies to go around to have a fun time. ;D

I've known a black guy doing WSS >> Thats just wrong. It is.
Hardcore huh?
Hey, if you can document it,you can do it.
I'm looking through my extensive WW2 library, and just can't seem to find an example of this. Maybe you have some??
Please share!
