Blank M1 Garand Firing

This was at the last reenactment I attended in California with the CHG. I finally got my hands on an M1 Garand for the weekend, and wanted to show you guys what I thought of it.

@stupidass1 where did you get a Prussian cross any way? i always wanted one of them.

[stupidass1]

@Ureteralclock1917 I got the iron cross from a reenactment I attended a while ago. The guy was going out of business and was selling everything he had in his shop. So it was the right price, so I picked it up then.

Nice impression....Its nice to see a GI reenactor that doesn't do ariborne, rangers or 29th

[stupidass1]

@MrPetarted86 I know right? Gotta change it up a little. haha! Actually, believe it or not, the 2nd Rangers are a very small group where we are. And the 29th doesn't even exist here. We do how ever have a large 101st group here. haha! And thanks for the compliment on my uniform. It has come a long way since this video.

what's firing blank ? and is that what they do in movies ? fire blanks ?

[stupidass1]

@Archerpyro A blank is a bullet...without the bullet. It's just a bullet shell with black powder to make the "bang". So you get the effect of shooting, without the danger of shooting anything.

And a lot of movies use blanks for mainly the close up weapons. The weapons in the background are usually rubber and don't fire anything. So they add effects to make them look like they are shooting.

@Haloskulls117 war trophy.



[stupidass1]

@ustink0815 It's a WWII reenactment. It's fake, the medal is fake, the story is fake. It's a fake war trophy. I only typed that it was a war trophy on the video because people kept on asking me why I was wearing a german medal. So I put that there so people would stop asking me as much. It's fake ether way you look at it. So I'm not the one who is looking and sounding stupid right now. I'm done talking with you.

have u ever heard of simunition?

[stupidass1]

@goldenboym16 And when we reenact, we know when we get shot when you ether make eye contact with the guy who is shooting, or just using common sense, say like when you are running in the open and you hear a lot of gun fire...you probably got hit. haha! But it's an honor system sort of thing. We can't go out there expecting to be the next John Rambo. haha!
