The Canadian Reserve Army, The Militia

For my late Cold War force, I'm choosing to use 1990's Americans painted up as Canadians, due to the use of the C7 and C9 (minimi)
My Canadian reserve Army, I am basing off of the ESCI NATO troops British figures, which have FNs, SMGS and GPMPs.
I'm also mixing in Vietnam War Americans for the uniforms and the fact that most units if they had been rushed into a war, would have had to make due with whatever the underfunded DND could give them.

I choose to paint up a rifle regiment for the simple sack of, why not?
As well, my father was attached to the 4th Battalion (TA) Royal Green Jackets during the 1970s.
Sections include SLR, SMG, Bren, GPMP and Carl Gustav anti-tank
