| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Post; Equipment used by soldiers in the film Joint Security AreaI'm not very familiar with the equipment of the Armed Forces of the DRK and ROK but some pictures I've seen seem to contradict what looks like standard equipment in the movie. -Helmets: In the film North Korean soldiers wear the WW2 and Vietnam War era American-designed M1 helmet while South Koreans use the Gulf War era American PASGT helmet. On the few pictures of North Korean soldiers wearing helmets at all that I've seen, they are wearing what I think are Cold War era Soviet-designed helmets, while South Korean soldiers use the WW2 and Vietnam War era American-designed M1 helmet. -Assault rifles: The South Korean soldiers in the movie use mainly the M-16 (or was it M-4?) rifle, while from what I've seen, their standard weapon is the Daewoo K2.

| Fridgeraider (Instructor) | The MPs up at the border, the JSA guys, are armed with the equipment you see in the movie. So it is correct. The North Korean helmet does look an awful lot like a skinless, shiny version of the US M-1 helmet. So I don't think they've got it wrong. Me, I got a friggin' Vietnam era US M-1 helmet and a K-2.
