I'm looking to join a WWII-airsoft team and to join I need a German WWII Outfit. I've been looking all over the internet for them, and they're either real German Uniforms or they cost $200. I'm just looking for a cheap, realistic uniform that does NOT portray nazism. Maybe a helmet/gas mask to hahaha.

You should have asked me about it man ;D. By uniform do you mean the actual Jacket and Trousers or the entire kit(webgear, helmet, boots). Its not cheap and will be something you'll have to save up for. This is the cheapest place to get a "quality" or at least decent quality tunic and trousers www.gavinmilitaria.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_36_98&products_id=41www.gavinmilitaria.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_36_98&products_id=43Your not going to get away with not having a swastika on your uniform if you want to be realistic. Every soldier had the eagle with the swastika on his tunic. I don't mean the red band with the large swastika. The insignia they wore wasn't that noticeable. Here is a picture of what I am talking about www.atthefront.com/german/uniforms/images/aboutgermanuniforms/gtunic_M42_orig.jpgIt doesn't feel as odd when all your comrades are wearing them at the actual reenactment . If you play at our games we'll be able to loan you most of the stuff you need. I'd try to purchase your stuff in this order: Tunic Belt Canteen Breadbag Belt hooks Ammo pouches Cap/helmet Boots The reason I put boots last is at your age your always growing so there is no hurry to get them right away. Same goes for a tunic but its kind of a necessary item for a good looking kit. The list right their is would be your basic kit. From their you can get more and complete it if you like but that will give you a decent looking German soldier look. Other then Gavin Militaria here are some places you can purchase everything. At the Front 1944 Militaria Spearhead Militaria Bunker Militaria IMA(International Military Antiques) Bayonet Inc. Of course you can get stuff used on eBay, Gunshows, reenactments, WWII Airsoft forum, and the WWII Reenactors forum.

I don't usually mention them as I think they are overpriced for the products you get. Depends on what you buy from them though.
