@Wraaaul Here in California you do not need a license at all for anything before 1897 design I believe.

Wow, really impressed by this. I do English Civil War re-enactment, its not often (or at all really ) that we get enough musketeers who have the right licenses to do that kind of volley (gun control etc....)

@pitatapiu not all units use the recover arms command, its for green troops or formal occasions.

@TheCherokeeboy Except nowadays, a dude with a AK47 can get that much lead in the air at once by himself. Though not at the same fire rate.

@Ballermann2007 Its for saftey. Even if you arn't firing live rounds, blank ammunition can still fir bits of dirt, or power towards where ever you aim. It obviously is not in the interest of the re-enactors to fire in the face of their public who are viewing. I know that using cordite rounds (for ww2) we aim above because cordite often does come out of the barrel, and I've seen some re-enactors have their face burnt or cut by it. So it's totally for good saftey practice.

Why are they shooting in the air!?? in some re-enactment groups single soldiers even shoot up in the air. To high, means its not because bullet drop.
