this stuff. I am gonna be a wehrmacht soldier. I have yet to
find a unit to get patches for it. Any you guys be interested in
doing something like this?

It would be cool. But, I need to get fully set up for modern
warfare first and I'd have to have a Russian or British set up.

I have a few quick thoughts on this.
WWII gear is not cheap.
Wehmacht was the German military as a whole. Heer was the army
Finding your shells in a firefight sucks.
Dboy shells cost $4 each.
Do a little reading here.

Wrong era and country. The M14 Rifle was an American introduced
into service in 1959 and was based off of the M1 Garand and was
replaced in 1970 by the M16A1.

The shell finding must be hard.
I have actually found a good site that sells reproduction
uniforms for a decent price.

that bad.

Now that we are on the era of WW2, I was wondering if anyone
would know where to get a ppsh that is over 300 fps metal gear
box.

I know I will sound biased, but Vietnam reenacting is more
appropriate for airsoft, given the range of engagements and
weapons, capabilities of guns and mags, tactics, and
availability of inexpensive gear. This is not just my opinion,
but also that of actual Vietnam War combat vets, including
Special Forces, that I have talked to. Also, the VNAS community
is about more than just playing dress up, it's about using
correct tactics, unit structure, and equipment not just for fun,
but to honor those who served and especially those who didn't
make it back, by experiencing just a taste of what they had to
experience, whether by their own volition or by conscription;
just as some enjoy might enjoy spicy food, they were blasted in
the face with pepper mace. They faced a tough and ruthless
enemy, and 58,212 died, 153000+ were WIA, and 1,700+ were MIA in
defense of freedom for the South Vietnamese. Though it is a war
that is easy to reenact and recreate for airsoft, we should
always remember the sacrifice of previous generations. I digress
and I'm not trying to disrespect WWII veterans and KIA, but as
long as airsofters are able to look to the past to remember what
our country has done to defend liberty and to honor those who
served, I'm glad.

Thats pretty cool. So what your saying is that VVAS communities
use not only the weapons, but the tactics of Vietnam Era? Thats
pretty cool. As for the WW2, Im more into the weapons overall
than the uniforms or tactics, but it most likely will cost me
200-500 dollars to get a good WW2 airsoft gun.

Umm Chief don't you think it would be better to be dressed as an
american, not as a nazi? One thing for sure I will not be near
you while your wearing it, Because I dont want any false
impressions on me as being a nazi. Oh, and dont forget the
amount of people that will not respect you wearing it.
