it is very easy to do this i reenact myself and it can get pricy i use a russian nagant and that is about 79$ us and fires 7.62by 54 round and it uses live and blank ammo and is a good price anyone can do this if you have the money and the time and it is a lot of fun
@lamarbrog We are all over the Pacific Northwest, but most of our events are in Oregon (for Machinegun legality). There are units across the country for every side and every war in history. If you interested in World War Two specifically, feel free to drop me a message with questions and I can help get you started- it's easier than you'd think! (I only reenact Red Army and German GrossDeutschland Division, but I'm plugged into the "network")
In many states full-autos are legal. You need to be over 21 and the weapon has to be made prior to 1986 (unless you are a Class III Licensed Dealer). It's a long process involving lots of background checks and a $200 federal registration tax. Also, most full-autos are upwards of $10,000. This weapon doesn't belong to me, but a friend of mine who is a reenactor and Class III collector. He bought it before 1986 for $1,000.
If you guys are just going to shoot blanks with your expensive guns why not buy some glass blowback airsoft guns for hundreds of dollars less? Atleast you can actually if you get hit or not
Because this hobby (not this particular video, mind you) is about history, not play warfare. I don't give a shit whether my target "Takes a hit" or not. I reenact so I can be close to as cold, miserable, hungry, and tired as the soldiers actually were. So I can pull the trigger on weapons used *in the actual war* and watch the brass fly, watch the flames lick from the end of the barrel as my ears explode in agony.
Just wanted to re-emphasize the fact that this was at the end of the weekend. Everyone was ready to leave, but I had 70 rounds leftover and wanted to burn them. Normally I hate this sort of dicking around DURING reenactments, but there's such a demand for PPSh videos on YouTube anyway, I thought I'd put it up.
@iRentallyMetarded Not to mention GBB WWI-era guns are often at least as expensive, if not more so, then the actual guns. Seriously, look at K98ks and Mosin-Nagants, the gas versions are almost universally more expensive.
Weapon was empty, and was loaded with blanks to boot. It's tough to preserve gun safety when all weekend you're aiming real firearms at human beings and pulling the trigger.
nice. except if you read memoirs of front-line soldiers from the red army, they never yelled za rodinu, za stalina! i mean the commissars told them to do that, but i dont think anybody actually did it.
wow! Za Rodinu, za Stalina! funny guy. but I should to specify: Russians nad never wear pistol holster on the left side! also privates had never had pistols - just officers!
and buddy aceshigh7 - use the drum case for PPSh, it's more brutal))
@aceshigh7 man, come to Moscow next fall - there will be big reenactment battle near Borodino village, it's annual. if you do so, I could lead you to the places of a real battles near Moscow that hab been in 1941. it's posiblle stil to dig up some relics, specialy from Red Army.

@aceshigh7 I live in Oregon and I didn't know it was possible to own a machine gun. Do you need a special license or something??

Ther pistol is a German p09 "Luger"- I took it off a dead one, it was not issued! ;)
Also, I had emptied my drum before this, so I was stuck with stick mags.
I'll make sure to move my war-trophy to the other side tohugh- Thanks!

I would love nothing more than to do this on the actual soil of Russia, but at the moment it's a bit expensive. Someday, though!

It was at a Reenactment, but after the fighting was over. I had some ammo left, so I thought I'd lighten my pack...
