1st Marine Division Korean War Airsoft
Back in business! Finally… 🙂 More or less generic early/mid Korean War USMC gear. Was good to be back on the “fields of glory” and had a fun day with my buddies 😀
Used the ICS Garand and an Ares Grease Gun. ICS Garand, cool as ever! The Ares Grease Gun was a blast to use, very compact and easy to handle. Range, ROF, accuracy… nothing spectacular but good enough and really fun. A welcome change from hauling around the more cumbersome oldschool guns.
Checking for PVA snipers 😉
Decided to use the “Mosquito cover” instead of the regular reversible USMC helmet cover. You can spot them in use in WW2 and the Korean War. I think I saw some in Vietnam War photos as well but don’t know for sure anymore (not my area of expertise). Pics from Korea:
Note to self: next time don’t forget the M3 wire stock at home 😳
And after a stressful workday in the trenches… back to sleep 🙂
welcome back.

Glad to see you back at it. And you are correct they were most definitely used in Vietnam.

Hey, I need your help please 🙏🏻
I don’t know if I have to buy the M1 garand by ICS or the G&G one
Thank you

Hi, Externals of the G&G are better (closer to the real steel Garand).
Performance wise they are pretty similar, the ICS may have a slight edge.
It comes down to to personal preference, IMHO you can’t go wrong with either!

Thank you so much
There aren’t many reviews about the garand by G&G so you help me a lot.
I want to use it for a WW2 1st ID set up even if those model were used in Korean War but there aren’t many choices.
Thanks again 😁

How are you liking the ATF Boondockers vs the WWII Impressions? Which is more comfortable?
Anonymous said this on November 26, 2018 at 05:55 |
Comfort wise I can find no real difference (not surprising as they are probably made by the same company). Both hold up very well, though I have worn the WWII Impression boots a lot more (had them about two years before the ATF ones were released). The ones in the photos are the WWII Impression boots, bought in 2014 and still going strong 🙂

The one above with the Marines getting off the boat and the one with the .30 cal machine gun

The first one with the Marines stepping off the boat and the 2nd down below with the .30 cal machine gun.
Alexander Sheng said this on September 15, 2020 at 13:28 |
The one with the boat should be Inchon 1950, the 30cal one Seoul also 1950 (maybe 51)

These are Korean War photos right because some individuals get mixed up with WW2 by the looks of their uniforms

Yes USMC WW2 and Korean War gear is pretty similar, but these photos are from the Korean War
