i was the photographer covering this for AI (and others). You still see the occasional photo from that weekend rolled out from time to time in the magazine.
Met alot of good people and had alot of fun, stuck in the middle of it lol
@feralpred upon actually watching the video, I saw that he wasn't using an AK, it was an MP44. You can tell because where the gas tube connects to the barrel. The AK has a slant to it, while the MP just goes straight up. also, the body and buttstock are kinda different
@mcrmy818 yeah you're right. I took a quick look while i was watchin the vid but actually looking at it your right. the buttstock is a real give away, the MP44's is pretty much level with the body, this on isn't.
I like airsoft more because paintball guns stand out more. Plus every Paintball WW2 reenactment everyone looks like they are playing CSS. No real uniforms.
I see accuracy was key here. With the ak-47 and Airborne storming the beach just like they did on June 6 '44, or maybe it was just that futuristic elite Airborne unit, 101st Airborne X. That aside a cool video.
dont we all, but heres the thing....imagine a enemy soldier firing down on a regiment of soldiers, they are the invaders....whats he going to do...kill as many as he can....it happens....they are put in the field, and are expected to know they can die.
The medics were trained to kill, they had weapons, they wore military clothes... A medic is a soldier, and soldiers gets killed... Just to add, there is no laws in war... when the very first bullet is fired down the street, the laws stops existing and chaos breaks lose. Really, there is no laws in the heat of battle.
and i believe they had the option to carry a pistol, the thing is most medics signed up for medic duty cus they didn't want to kill, but they still had the option to carry a side arm.
isn't it a stu44? pretty sure they looked very similar. in fact, the russkis prob nicked the basic design from the germans. everything was up for grabs when germany fell.
erm. no. ur right. lotta equipment here is not accurate
It's difficult to get hold of ww2 airsoft guns. As it happens the STg44/mp44 and the AK 47 are very different. Oddly the Ak 47 owes quite a lot to the M1 Garand.
ok... ummm... the AK47 isn't really that good of a gun compared to other automatic rifles. the M4,M16, and M14, are better in so many ways. just look at statistics. the AK47 is meant so pin down the enemy with automatic fire. it's only accurate up to 60meters (or yards, I forget which). the M16 is accurate up to 100 meters/yards. that's straight out of a military textbook btw, before you start yelling at me how you can hit targets beyond that.
0.25 an M14, M14s wasn't used until the vietnam war but i can see why they use them in WW2 re-enactments as there more or less just upgrades of M1 garands
Hi Guys, I ran this weekend so just to confirm as its been a topic throughout the posts. This one was the first of the big battle weekends and to be inclusive we allowed rep rifles as the airsoft 2ww guns were either to expensive and shite or not availible. Hence M14s being used as M1's, AKs as MP44's and so on.
FINALLY!! A good airsoft WWII video... I am tired of those ones with kids running around with AKs, and MP5s and M4s and calling it a World War II Video... It's stupid... I'd get this DVD.
lol looks kinda like our games..i would luv to play in one of these.. i wear nazi gear back from ww2 tht my great uncle picked took from the feild.. historic airsoft wars r the best
if u pause at 2:52 that guys got a scope on his tanaka 98k...can anybody tell me where you can get a scopemount fitted or where you can buy one...like for a normal price...
2 50.cal's on the german side ! I can understand an AK in place of an MP-44 but not an M-14 in place of a M-1 . Nore did the germans have 50.caliber machine gun's !!!
and do you know what else? not one real bullet was fired, there's guys with ponytails, there are women,there's not even any fake blood, nobody gets killed or injured. God save us from WW2 experts. It was a game and a bit of fun. Stick to watching documentaries if you want to see the real thing . . .
Sorry for this outburst, it's just that some people seem to miss the point.
Actualy first come M1 Garand that has been used in WWII and Vietnam, but then U.S.A:s Army needed something to replace M1 Garand, because they didn't make it anymore. So they invented M14 Semi Automatic rifle. But it wasn't so good that the Americans thought. So they needed something to replace that too. (They used M14 too tough.) So the came in the M16 Full Automatic Assault Rifle.
actually the m14 was too good so because it ad an effective range of 1000 yards so it was too expensive and m16 was better also so they used the m14 as a sniper and the m1 didnt have a high enough round capacity
you guys should check out: Airsoft the movie, its a pretty cool movie, there is this girl, she run around killing all the dudes and finnaly one gay dude snipe her down, watch it you'll get the pisture
this group "comrades in arms" are not totally strict, they allow "looks like" guns. e.g an m14 could be an M1 garand (semi) or a BAR with bipod (auto) but the player has to nominate which gun it is, and ak47=mp44 etc etc before the round starts

The AK is better in design. You can practically go through hell with that gun and still function. (partly because Russia and Siberia *is* hell.)
M4/M16 will jam in a lot of situations where the AK will prevail.
Also the AK can be easily field-stripped, or at least simple enough that the poorly-trained soldier can do it.
(And that the 7.62 round simply has more energy than the 5.56, ofc)
