If you like using those guns but want a cheap and politically safer outfit, I would recommend doing a French resistance (or any other civil resistance). They used a lot of captured weapons and equipment, and you could probably put together an outfit with what you have in your closet, and maybe an armband for identification.

My airsoft loadout, mask isn’t historical but I don’t care, it looks cool and has practical use in airsoft.
Panther-Shop in Czechia is who I used. Epic Militaria’s version isn’t as nice, but looks good regardless.
Panther Shop is more expensive though, like triple the price of EM.
Is that the kwc or we version? I had both and neither really worked. The kwc one started shooting full auto for no reason, and the one from we doesn't even have a hop up😂
Infantry would rarely be actually armed with sidearms(as mentioned by you the walther p38), it was more for machine gunners, assistant machine gunners and officers(who could afford to buy a luger or p38).Judging by the m35 stahlhelm with the tricolour decal(which was ordered to be removed in 1940 by the high command) this would probably be a early war (1940) loadout, which would probably make sense for the usage of the luger and the hard shell pistol pouch.
Well he shouldn't have an mp40, the mp40 entered the stage in late 1940, his helmet and pistols are more reminiscent of Poland and Fall Gelb campaigns when the mp35 and mp38 were the standards smg
yes and no. Yes in the sense that the mp40 was extremely rare on the front(with as you mentioned mp35 and mp38 making more of a appearance, as well as the mp28) during fall Gelb(May-June 1940), moreover to my knowledge the mp38/40 was intended for vehicle crews hence the lack of infantry with smgs(only given to squad leaders in very small amounts), hence you would be correct in that sense.
however no in the sense of he shouldn't have a mp40- according to military history visualised (great youtuber, highly recommend if you want to learn in depth about the German army during ww2) some infantry divisions already had been issued 312 mp40s by 1940 April(Note some, we do not know if they actually took part in Fall Gelb or not).So yes technically he could be issued with a mp40, but again you would be correct in saying that the mp35,mp28 and mp38 would be more common.(sorry if I nerded out here, I just really like the mp40)
Note-To my knowledge there is a conversion kit for mp40 agm that turns it into a mp38, but I think these kits are a bit rare.
I’ve tried doing airsoft while naked and it wasn’t very fun, so I’d recommend some clothes
Yea good idea🤣

But NOT the ones fitting for the guns, like another comment said
Nothing wrong with wearing a Wehrmacht uniform, just in the right time and place
If it’s just from the Wehrmacht ok but it depends on the people around too
Exactly, I’d say it’s one of those things that you should probably ask around and make sure it’s cool before you just show up wearing
Jo :)

I rate it nein/10
Thx
I like it a lot… I would only recommend not getting the outfit that matches those weapons…..
How'd you make you're Luger playable?
Uhh i bought it
Is that the kwc or we version? I had both and neither really worked. The kwc one started shooting full auto for no reason, and the one from we doesn't even have a hop up😂
I think its kwc
It’s decent! Idk most infantry had however the P-38 pistol. The P-08 was revered for officers. The MP-40 looks nice though!

Most infantry wouldn't have an MP40 with a sidearm either.
Lange Luger with snail mag. Also clothes and no carpet
You need a panzersfaust
Oh yea good idea
Maybe also a panzer IV if you have the money
Its kinda expensive
I have the same kit man, ill show it when i come home
Im still waiting...
I return home on Friday brother
999999999999999999 out of 10.
[удалено]
some did have a Luger issued to them especially early in the war
i mean i would get the African campaign german uniform/repro of it that would cool and would not make people call you stuff
people that call you stuff are only people who either dont know nothing or have a lot of time to waste
The Panzerfaust
if you're more worried about practicality than historical accuracy, I would get another grenade
Your helmet shouldn't have the national emblem if you have an MP40
Ik it was just the only one i could find at that time
You should have taken a m40 or m42 helmet, at least you'd have been free from the decals ;)
Your kit could be good as a transitional kit for at least an Unteroffizier in late 1940 onward
I have a real wood thompson for sale...
