A little Class III fun...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXTrhGvRLvU

Some of my friends cutting loose last weekend. The big one is a fully operational German flak anit-aircraft gun. I've personally fired his MP 40. Pretty sweet but I can't get over the feeling like it's spewing dollars from the barrel rather than lead...

The guy also just bought a Stewart light tank and I might go down and check it out this weekend.

Gives me a fuzzy feeling to see all those automatic weapons as they were meant to be.

You have some wild friends, Evan. That looks like fun.

Looks like fun. I have always longed for vintage American WWII weapons. Especially the M1903 springfield and a Thompson. My uncle showed me his MAC 10, but we couldn't find a place to shoot it without alarming anyone or being hassled.

Hatt is going to wet himself when he sees this.

Lets see, looks like a PPsH, maybe a Sten kit build?, Thompson, MP40, Mg42 and a coupla others I can't see well enough. Looks like a lot of fun. Haven't done that since Texas. No class III up here in RI. RT

They're just regular guys... An attorney and a realtor. For fun they play the part of Axis powers in live action reinactments for the public. All of their gear is authentic and functional.

Here's a shot of the flak gun behind their fully restored 1944 Opel Blitz Allrad.

The MP 40 is a fun little gun, I have one in my trunk. In fact I put about 120 rounds through it yesterday, along with a couple hundred rounds through the suppressed M-4 in my trunk. I still can't believe they pay me for this job!
