Overall, great video with lots of gritty and welcomed details. However, there's a few inaccuracies, such as the 'M69 vest'. The M69 vest was an updated version of the earlier vietnam era body armor where the nomenclature stated: 'Armor, Body Fragmentation Protective, with 3/4 Collar', and it did not have an M-series designation. The M69, was first produced, and first issued in 1970. The most noticeable difference is the use of velcro on the flap. The M69 vest was not used in the movie Aliens, and is actually a fairly difficult vest to get hold of. I have one seen one in person, while dozens of the "3/4 collar flaks" have passed through my hands. Also, with as many of the items that I make from the movie Aliens, I'm a bit disappointed that I wasn't mentioned. I spent a fortune and a great deal of time to make the most accurate and best-built uniforms that I call 'HORPAT'. Also, I made several batches of the Short Sleeve Service Khaki shirts, and I still have a number currently in stock. These I had made from brand new USMC shirts. I also manufacture a sling adapters for the airsoft Pulse Rifle. For about the last 6 years I had been making the 'Ripley Grenade Harness', and while it's more of an item that Ripley was known for wearing, it is a piece of USCM gear. There's also a few new products that I'm working on and hope to release this year or next - but like most of the items that I make, there are other parties involvement to some degree and I can't say for certain when they'll finally be ready. facebook.com/HORPATCAMO/ facebook.com/AaronHorrocksCompany/

We've pinned this comment to the top and listed you in the description as a vendor. Thanks for the info, should have mentioned that the M69 is the blanket term for the series of Armor Body Fragmentation vests. Additionally we would have referenced you but when we came across your website address we got a 403 error. When we found your HORPAT Facebook page we also so it hadn't been updated in nearly a year, with those two factors we assumed you were no longer active. Hopefully this helps rectify that error.

The Thompson at 2:18 is not an M1A1, but rather the earlier production M1921. The most easily recognizable distinguishing feature is the location of the charging handle. (M1A1 had a thinner reciever and a side-mounted charging handle, as opposed to the top mounted style of the earlier M1921)

Probably said before but you showed the wrong type of Thompson smg when talking about the pulse rifle. You showed a M1928 model, the classic Chicago gangster one. While the M1A1 model is the one used during WW2. You can easily tell each one apart by the location of the bolt: M1928 on top between the front and rear sights, M1A1 on the left side as can be seen on the pulse rifle.

Also the armour colours, black was not used. It was Humbrol #91 Black-Green, which again appears darker on film. I know of at least one costuming group that will not accept Colonial Marine costumes with black ab-pads or black paint on their armour.

Sorry to be"that guy", but the weapon pictured at 2:17 is a M1927/M1928 Thompson, when the Thompson SMGs used in the prop are M1A1 Thompsons. That is important in this case because of the charging handle. On the M1A1, the charging handle was relocated to the side, and it's basically impossible to make the M1927/28 into one of these because of the carry handle on the prop. It's not a huge deal, but it is the wrong version pictured.
