However, we have a slight problem. WE do british and American and the Germans have three items that devistate us:<br />1: A propane-firing MG-42<br />2: a Chezch 1943 half-trek<br />3: a mortar (uses a small blackpowder projectile and is filled with flower)<br />My unit and I have reciently come upon a replica M1A1 Bazooka, and we are rigging it to fire a low-volocity round using model rocket engins and flower as a marker. It is crono'd to approx. 224 ft/s (just under the real M1A1 and slower than most paintballs) If done responsibly a projectile can be used effectively and safely. We have done several test fires at items with no damage to them (manaquins and such) I reenact WWII with my father as well(thanks for the compliment on loving history).

You are very right when you say we are very safety orientated. Every reenactment I have been too havent aloud any kind of projectile what so ever, no matter size or shape. I believe this show was totally bogus and very dramatized! These men were making a real weapon of some kind, and wouldnt be aloud within ten miles of a reenactment with it, as well as being rejeted by all of the people who actuually care about the hobby. Thanks for defending us! Take Care! My name is Kyle Duncan and I reenact WWII on the German side. You are very right when you say we are very safety orientated.
