Hey guys, i'm pretty new to WWII Airsofting so please tolerate my newbness. Ok, well i'm pretty into WWII but i preferred the Korean war load out of the GI's so i got myself some OD Korean War-style stuff. One being a 4 pocket field jacket with 4 pocket trousers as well. Also, i got a pistol belt with a misc. ammunition's pouch (the big burly one) and a first aid/sunglasses pouch. A Post WWII M1 helmet (with Korean War/Vietnam style trainer). I got myself some leggings and black Vietnam-style boots (I know they are not really WWII but they are comfortable and i like black). OK now that i got my load out out in the open now here is/are my question(s)
1. Where would i place the pistol belt? right now i wear it around my waist as i would a bandoleer, but i do not have a bandoleer of any kind. I use the misc. ammunition pouch for my can of gas which is much needed in the heat of an airsoft game. But, when i sling my tommy over my shoulder it always seem to get caught on the can of gas...what to do, what to do....
2. when i am out of rounds for my tommy i immediately switch over to my Colt .45 so i just sling the tommy over my shoulder and go CQB. Problem is, the tommy gets in the way when i crouch, go prone, etc. where do i place the tommy after im done and need to do CQB?
3. I am not a very huge fan of the 4 pocket field jacket as it gets in the way of my pistol belt and stuff, i only use it to place my trigger-finger mittens in left pocket...So can anyone suggest a place where i can get a double chest pocket M1943 for cheap, like 50 bucks or something? And, whats the difference between an HBT jacket and a field jacket? do you wear the HBT and then wear the field jacket on top of that? or...what is the HBT for?
Once again, please pardon my newbness, i have been to Atthefront.com WhatPriceGlory.com, etc. and i have seen the impressions and the like, but i need to know how to utilize what i wear and where/how to wear it. Thanks again.
