Nice firebase build-out. Us Florida reenactors are jealous. Need to add smoke effects when the tower is taken out, to give the battlefield some ambiance. :)
No offense taken, but there are thousands of pictures taken during the Vietnam War of skinny 19 year old grunts with scrawny arms. I personally do not have skinny arms, but many of our 19 year olds do.
@zimfan20 Many soldiers have a reduction muscle mass while overseas constant combat and supply issues can contribute to this and a lack of PT inside the wire or on base will too
What state do you live in? Is it even legal to own one where you live. You will need a Pre-ban AR15 with a removable flash hider. That way you can install the blank adapter
For reenactment and movie production, you NEVER use an "Over The birdcage" BFA. You use what is called a "Hollywood" BFA. The hot load blanks we use would destroy a stock GI BFA as well as possibly damage our weapon. I do have a question, if it requires a over the birdcage BFA, then how are we cycling our weapons with the blanks in the video??
i didn't mean that requires a GI BFA, i meant it was an option. that's what we (USAF) use for our exercises. and to answer your question, it's obvious your weapons are cycling blanks without the GI BFA, i'm not stupid.
But what confuses me about re-enactments are that if you're firing blanks, how do you know if you're hit, and, if so, do you just stay down, and if so, for how long?
Nice authentic reenactment there. The only thing that gets me about reenactments of this era are the occasional 300 white as day NVA soldier holding an AK47 that looks almost like a toy because of the fat bastards massive size...lol
It is all an honor system. When you are caught out in the open you just have to fall down. It really isn't so much about who got who, it is for the experience.
i wana join a vietnam reenactment but i cant find any in so. cal.

blank firing adapters are meant to be installed over the "birdcage" flash suppressor.
