PBI Airsoft kit list

Unlike most airsoft groups, at PBI we require players to have a degree of uniformity of kit and be able to carry that kit in the way a 1940's soldier would. Although we're not looking for a 're-enactment' level of detail nor are we going to be 'stitch counters' we will expect players to adhere to a basic kit list and then choose kit at their leisure to improve or change their impression.

Essential kit for the basic impression.

You will need:

• A WWII AEG (M14s and bolt action wood effect sniper rifles will be allowed)
  
• UK 37, 40 or 49 pattern battledress (either wool or denim is acceptable)
  
• Basic 37 pattern webbing (belt braces & two ammo pouches)
  
• Black ankle boots (modern hi - leg boots are acceptable if the tops are covered by puttees or gaiters)
  
• Puttees or gaiters
  
• A maroon wwii airborne beret
  
• Denison smock

Extra kit you might like to get over time:

• Airborne steel helmet (WWII tank crew pattern is perfectly acceptable)
  
• A steel helmet (MKII, MKIII or MkIV is acceptable.)
  
• GS Cap
  
• Leather jerkin
  
• Windproof camo suit
  
• Additional '37 pattern web gear (such as a water bottle or small pack)
