You people have it bad and good. Why? Well, out of all forces, the Russians have the cheapest gear, and it never leaves your pocket empty. Though, nobody in Airsoft has gotten the bright idea to make a Mosin Nagant. So, either get an expensive PPSh or just get a Mauser and man up. Otherwise, you are royally screwed. NEXT! here is what you must do, Tovarsich! Find the following sites. www.tridentmilitary.com/Reproduction.uniforms.htmlostfront.comThis is the best site available for Russian gear, though there are others. Trident Militaria, a business out of the Ukraine, lets you, the buyer, take control! They don't mess around and let you find things on your own. They've already set everything you'll need up for you. They have all of the gear you'll need sans rifle, and all of their gear is guaranteed to have the quality of the Soviet Union! Hah, I joke. But really, they do have some interesting things. Looking for a quick unit that is inexpensive and great? Stop by here, buy everything you'll need, and though your rifles may not be correct, you'll all look sharp. Good luck finding a Mosin Nagant though.

We can use Thompsons as well, thank you. The Lend-Lease program with the US supplied the Russians with Thompsons. Also, the Russian forces picked up German weapons along the way, so you can portray a Russian with a Kraut weapon pretty easily.

Russia had paratroopers for lack of a better word. They threw them out of planes but I'm not sure if they issued parachutes. ;D

Finding 7.92 rounds that were unspent was highly unlikely, and most Thompsons were issued to the British and Western allies, though the Russians did have a small amount. We actually sent them more money than arms. Yes, there were paratroopers, but they had only so many operations. This is because during Operation Barbarossa, most of the Soviet Air power was diminished within the first weeks.

Russians had paratroops, in one of the documentaries I got they show them. They did have parachutes in the footage, but they had to clime onto the wing of the plane, make there way alittle way from the plane, and then slide off. Not how I'd want to go from a plane. webzoom.freewebs.com/2ndrangersairsoft/M1/ruski.jpg
