Do you mean VC or NVA?
The VC were guerillas and typically fought in ordinary Vietnamese peasant clothes.

I think the NVA used surplus russian gear. i could be wrong though (would make sense because they used russian everything else)

you should see if you can get your hands on a rubber machete instead of a combat knife to use for knife kills ;D

Why the nva? Do you want the apparrel for a reenactment, just for fun, a special interest in the history? I'm just curious. |

All very7 valid points. The Ak has always had this "rag tag militia" aura about it. Way to capitalize on your situation  |

Go the Cong route and just get some black pajama's. One of my friends bought an AK, so I always teased him that someday he should get the proper Cong outfit to make him look realistic. Picture it, airsoft AK, black pajamas, sandals, and a straw hat....all on a 250 or so pound 6 foot 6 inch blonde haired behemoth. ;D
No offence intended against AK's, they're fine replica's. I have one too. No, I don't have the Cong outfit though...yet.

Vietcong dont have BDU's, the NVA do though. the VC's just wore normal clothing.

Correct they wore the black "pajamas" but bdu would be the easyist way to do to do it plus you have all the pockets and there tough .you could also use them for night games,swat,cqb ect ....
