If I wanted to fool yall and say that they were real WWII photos, umm I think I would of known enough to leave a few of these out..

These are reenactment photos, they arn't suppose to look 100% authentic, cause damnit, we have palmetos down here, but the germans lovem, I lovem now too, got to ambush a Kubul...

We use blanks, no lead wood or nothing just the brass and blackpowder, and yes occasionaly someone will get a chip of brass in his arm or something, thats why we don't aim at eachother at all..

Alot of the guys are EMT's RN's and there is a doc too, he's got lots of pain meds.. :D ;)

No live ammo, only at the range..


How can you claim that this is close to authentic if you cant use live ammo? :confused:

Yeah or real zyklon-b for the camp re-enactments. How sucky is that.

There are always suckers wanting to take 'a shower' after running in the forest in WW2 gear.

Yes

These so called "reenactments" sounds like a scam to me.

How much do they cost?

Depends on how much pyrotechnics there are..

And it costs more for us to reenact then it is for you to watch...

$5-$10...

And for us reenactors of WWII it can be up to $20.00 for insurance..

So is it time to reintroduce the roman colluseums?  People would pay good money to see that, no?

We were in some wooded area, about 3-4 acres on a gun range, and yeah it gets scary when your moving around near the burms where the pistol fire is caught.. haha...
