Depending on your use case, you might find that you don't have the same logistical support that our service members enjoy when deployed in a combat zone.
No resupply, and for many of the readers here, basic - if they ever did it - is over half a lifetime away - so I'm not sure whether it makes a lot of sense to demand that a bunch of Infantryman LARPers should be equipped the same way.
If you want an analogy, I'd say that we're closer to the kind of guys that were issued M1 carbines in WW2.
