WW1 GWHS artillery & attack reenactment

[HazMatMedia]

I gotta ask, where the heck do you guys get your Mausers? Anything other then a Kar98 clone its almost impossible to get anymore, and when you do find them they cost an arm. Is it possible to get into German WWI reenacting without shelling out a ton of cash on a 100+ year old hard to find Mauser?

[joker9494949494]

@HazMatMedia i found an original ww1 gewehr 98 for 375$, no electro marks or anything. i didnt buy it and i regret it every day :\

[fiskerlord]

how do you tell if you've been hit?

look like a lot of fun

[MrRemicas]

lack machine guns

[mathias2992]

I heard the WWI reenactment at Newville has been more choked up with barbed wire that it's nearly impossible to do any sort of assault. Although the night raids are amazing. :D

[filos71]

Che cazzata

[ScorpixWaffenSS]

you guys are all sissies in the video. if i was there i would've taken them all out cod style -.-

[88Tomm88]

What type of year shall this be since the helmet of that type come august-september 1917 for the german.

[carloko08]

dudes, dudes, where are the dammit sound of machinegun? hehehehe, very good, is very funny

[tatetalk]

How does the Grenatenwerfer fire? (P.S. I know they don't explode)

[ocarlson007]

were can you aquire ground charges such as those? and how are they detonated?

[GravesRWFiA]

I do WW1 in PA, uniforms are wool tunics and pants. the explosions are time ground charges.

[ZackMyslinski]

What type of tunics to most of you guys wear?

[xKAsoccer10x]

how were the expoltions done?

[Theclaidheamhmor]

thise brits are bad shots

[corpralkirsch]

@Fu11MetalJaket possibly one like this also are they pretty welcome to newcomers i'm not even a noob yet

[IloveXBOXable]

pull the pin count to 3 (scratched out) holy shit phil dropped the grenade

[pieterjanoddens]

Wow! This is rewriting WW1 as a nice field picknick with friends, haha!

[Franz40]

Super, this is my dream. Greetings for all reenactors from Czech Republic.

[ZACKBAGNALLVIDEO]

Where do you get your German Uniforms??

[Darklordkime]

yea you guys need the mustard gas (smoke bombs) or clorine gas to really make the battle more "fun"

[videoww2soldier98]

what weapons do they use

[dvldogusmc2000]

INFANTRY REGIMENT 23 IS CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR RECRUITS!! EMAIL US AT infantryregiment23@yahoo.com for more information.

[dvldogusmc2000]

@otter1119

Otter...let me know what questions you have. Email me (Marcus) at infantryregiment23@yahoo.com

[MichalSz54]

Hi. I am member of couple reenacment groups from Poland. Few months ago i started WWI reemacment. Could you tell me if you know someone that make replica of M16 Granatenwafer. Best would be gaspowered. Sorry for every mistake :)

[TheNERFDUDE97]

do u use blanks and are the mortor round dangorus

[414yakuza]

Middleage unfit stormtroopers = epic fail. Good try though and Im pretty impressed on how much money and effort you put into this hobby.

[zacksairsoftattack]

my strategy: mortars fire smoke and gas rounds on and near enemy trench 2) sturmtruppen advance in near prone position 3) machine gunner keeps brits heads down 4) sturmtruppen advance through wire 5) sturmtruppen enter brit trench and kill all but officers

[ssostufveatch]

Ah, the brown fields of France!!! Or did the Zimmerman telegram actually work? Seriously though you guys look regimental! I wish we had the GWHS out here in Iowa!

[kcirdrab]

lol - Another attack goes wrong!

[booom34]

i was in this 1 of thoes mortars hit right in front of me

[Mrobeson]

funny how so cal has ZERO rsemblance to northern france.

[TheWW1doughboy]

Pretty cool! are those real explosives?

[MrFullmetaljaket]

Yes they are real explosives ( ground charges) , the projectiles are only rubber though.

[Borin81]

you should have surprised them with a real artillery barrage and some mustard gas too, so they get the taste of real war.

[MrFullmetaljaket]

That not very nice, i am on the other side of those trenches...

[Borin81]

well then you do the same to them.

[MrFullmetaljaket]

well i guess that is a pretty good idea...lol but then there would be no one to fight against in the future reenactment :(

[biped1of1pandemonium]

@Borin81 ....dumb.

[Borin81]

.......right back at you.

[532bluepeter]

@Borin81

Sorry to be a face book bore etc.... But do ypu have ANY idea what it's like to be in a gas attack??

I well remember my grandad telling stories regarding his brothers wot was gassed in the first world war.

They would lye down coughing (in1974) in an nhs bed due to the gas used against them in the trenches.

WAR IS RUBBISH MATE.

[Borin81]

@532bluepeter cool story, bro.

[LeeEnfeild303]

Is this being done by Canadians or is it based in the US? If it was the latter I'd be supprised. I didn't think the First World War rated to them compared to the Second.

[MrFullmetaljaket]

This was reenacted in the us, southern california to be exact. Yes this is ww1...

[Abroadhawk]

What is the age limit, or do i have to look up the age limit on the real armies, cuz that would make it more realistic

[NismoDJ20]

LOL The guys Steilhandgrate fell off

[cumbas]

fortunatly nowaday it's jsut a "game" between us

nice reconstitution guys

5*****

[SSsoldat1]

i dont like how they run slow like that u woudnt be like that in real battle

[Dauntless07]

How do you fire the "explosives" without hurting someone if they get hit?

[Landsturm97]

Nice video.

[jared33647]

since most reenactors use blanks and not bbs how do you know when to drop dead

[tevyethemad]

It's an honor system, if you see someone aiming at you and firing, then you take the hit.

[brettsworld99]

....or use bb's

[rwes0917]

How does the arty sim work? How do you make the blast?

[litteboxer]

im gonna make series about WW1, how to you get the explosions, the helmets, the uniforms and helmets for a cheap budget?

[yoyoyowasuppy]

In reenacting, theres no such thing as a "cheap budget". Plus, if you are going to do something, do it right. Dont buy shitty uniforms. But the real deal or a good repro.

[TheCivilwarguy]

sweet

[soldat21]

Phil dropped a grenade!

[dwmmg08]

How do you do the Grenatenwerfer rounds??? I've thought of doing that for years, any info would be appreciated!

[trenchmax]

The core is a PVC pipe with a cap. Phil took an original round and made a foam/rubber mold of it (which is how we can make so many). Then he attaches plastic fins and paints them. He showed me how to make them once. Simple.. yet time consuming. Do you reenact?

[trenchmax]

Oh...I forgot to mention. Those explosions aren't being made by the granatenwerfer rounds!

[Jabbabob]

@trenchmax I was actually kinda worried about that. So, how DO you make the blast?

[Jabbabob]

@trenchmax so the granatenwerfer shells just...fall? Like, you just leave 'em there?

[corpralkirsch]

@trenchmax i really want to do a ww1 reenactment, can a seventeen year old do this

[TheJonvonn]

@trenchmax what about the launcher? how is that constructed? and same with the explosions?

[Fuldachiller]

@dwmmg08 es heißt nicht "granatenwerfer", sondern einfach nur "granatwerfer" ;)

[soldat182]

as always fantastic reinactment!
