I am a version 1 kind of guy, my stuff is strictly where the 80s never died and the 90s got all the toys that the 80s predicted NATO would have. US soldiers still wear PASGT, and M81 Woodland BDUs, rifles are a mix of M16A2 and A1, but you'll see steel pots and other gear as things go to hell. The Brits have DPM and SA-80, with L1A1 being issued as things go to hell (and the traffic wardens getting more than their fair share) You might even see some fellas wearing the old Mk 3 helmets. As for the Germans, they don't have enough Flecktarn or G11s to go around!

All the NATO vehicles are three tone, and the Soviet stuff is either Green (the majority) or the three tone tan/black/brown. All of the Ivans and most of his Warpac buddies are carrying AK-74, with AK-47 being a relic, and AKM being a slightly younger relic. RPG-7 is still common, but the disposable RPGs are beginning to supplant it.

Even if you're doing 2013, I would make a lot of the gear older than dirt. LBE that dates back to the disco era, rifles that have 1968 production dates...you get the idea....

I'm curious as to how you reconcile having M16A1's and M16A2's together. How does your supply system handle having large volumes of two different ammo types in the same caliber; or do you just use M193 Ball and give the M16A2's reduced range/accuracy? The M16A1 CANNOT use the SS109/M855 Ball round at all. The round's case neck is like 1/1000 of an inch too long. The very edge of the case "fire forms" into the leade (the part of the barrel where the bullet nose seats to the rifling) of the barrel throat, and causes MAJOR reliability issues in the M16A1 (like drive the expended M855 case out of the breech with a dowel rod issues). This is the reason the M16A1 was completely removed from Army service in 1992.
