Some members in the Airborne during WWII used to shave there heads. I don't really know why they did it, but I'm sure they had a good reason for it like lower the weight or something.
Some of the Airborne shaved their heads to look like Indians. The Germans had told their people that Americans were savages so the Airborne decided to run with that image and shaved their heads and wore warpaint....psychological warfare.
Where is the MG 34 or MG 42 what are you all charging a single guy with a K98.... good video though I would add the gun next time...it will make it a lot more hooah.
Honor system...if you see the muzzle flash and they are in a good position to hit you if it were a real bullet, you take the hit. The battles are only part of the reenactment. We spend a whole weekend in barracks or foxholes.

So you shave your hair to weigh 0.01 kg's less? :)
Dont think that would help reduce weight. If it would, imagine all the fat bald women you'd get lol.

The 30 Cal is a semi-auto variation, so you dont need a machine-gun license to own it.. that MG license is a biatch.

MitchMaker 5 years ago
It IS allowed in Germany. Join any of the established groups, heck, you can even do German.
This is a pretty bad mockbattle if you ask me, that charge was suicidal and slow.
