Here are some pictures of the action yall missed out on, now take to mind, my mom took the photos so, they arn't all that great of quality..

Gestapo and Nazi Officer...

Capturing the train.

Assisting the Assistant Gunner of the .30 cal.

Got me some Gestapo! We got killed by some mortar fire, then decided to respawn right there, and I chased him down the length of the train, and got shot by the other gestapo you see in the above photo..

Nah, Im pretty sure that most reenactors have to modify their weapons to be able to shoot blanks only - I think thats how they get around the difficulty associated with owning and operating BAR's and Thompsons and such.

Besidses.. you dont want a screw up.

Hawklore... how do you know if you get "hit?"

If someone could fashion a power charged paint round I think this kind of stuff would make for much more fun.

Got to admit... seems a bit sick too want to be an "SS" reenactor. I am not for forgetting history in the least, and reenactors are ok, but I do not have much desire to see SS being portrayed, especially when the Wermarcht is a much better and atleast better portrayal of the average German during the war.

Blanks, but the brass can come out of the barrel and act as a bullet, did last year, this year we had a gun, (My gun to be exact) Discharge near an allied soldiers face, powder burned is cheek and ear, but no ear or eye damage.

What happend was I was fiddling around with my revolver, after loading it, getting ready to holster it, when a german officer yanked it out of my hands and we strugled, telling them it was loaded totally left my mind, cause It was very realistic, and somehow the chamber got rotated so the round was ready to be shot, then the hammer cocked, and then the officer handed it over to a another german officer who shoved the pistol to the left of an allied soldiers face and it discharged, he's ok, we are all ok, but it looked damn realistic, and the guy who got shot liked how realistic it was.

I didn't shoot any more rounds that day... Just incase the revolver was messed up..

At tacticals, where their are no spectators, there are refs, they tell yah, and there are rules...

Most of the SS guys are cool, it's just they like to wear the fancy uniforms, and when it comes to being mean and SS type, they are good at doing that...

But when that accident happend they all looked human..

There is such a round, and it is called simpaint. The military uses it for some wargames. I can say this much, it hurts 30 times worse than a paintball ever thought of! But, the velocities are higher, by a long shot, so it should hurt.

Where can I buy some of this "hurts 30x more than a paintball" ammunition?

I would soooo get into reenacting if it could be considered "super paintball."

Think of the satisfaction you would get out of lighting up some wannabe Nazi with a neatly pressed black uniform.

A freind of mine in school was a tough Jewish kid who lived near Lynn Massachusettes. One of the junior kids in the school came to the Halloween Party that year dressed as Hitler.

Cliff grabbed the kid by his throat and told him "gently", while the kid dangled there with his feet off the ground, that he should go back and change.

Many of Cliff's family had been killed in Eastern Europe during the war....grandparents, great grandparents etc etc.

I couldn't put on an SS uniform either.

Not sick,though I cant talk for everyone,our group portrays Waffen SS troops,and are very popular at events here,we have met many allied veterans (including one wounded by fighting with Waffen SS)and Jewish folk,and once we explain why we do it,they are fine and interested,and impressed that we help teach the young about WWII, the SS were sadly, reality, and should be portayed to show people that,the holocaust was real,and not just something you read about in books,or see in black and white films,its also important to show people what the Allies were up against and WHY the war had to be won,and to remember those who gave their lives.
Because someone portrays Whermacht or Waffen SS does not mean they are Nazis or they support any twisted ideology.
Me in the middle.
