Is it expensive?

And is the gear tough to find?

Why haven't you answered any questions?

Have you been killed, wounded, or captured?

Yes, fortunetly, I traded my laptop to my mom, for buying me all the gear that I need. Otherwise I'd have to spend around $1,500 of my own money on the gear. Of course, she's going to buy it for me over a few months.

No, I buy reproductions of authentic gear.

Because I was driving to my mom's house

Yes, I've been killed, and wounded. Not literally, but pretending to be.

I choose the Germans because I like their technology more, and I've always been interested in them because I learn about everything American in school.

Would you consider using live ammunition?

If you are using live ammunition...or at the very least a paintball or BB gun of some sort, do you plan on taking over the town, with your UberAlles might?

I use blanks with real guns.

No, we do this as a hobby, and nothing more.

If anyone in the group makes a racist or anti-semtic comment, they are kicked out. Don't be stupid, we do this as a hobby, and nothing more.

I'm just poking fun, surely you can tell.

On a serious question, is there any particular acting do you have to do? Or just go around saying bang bang your dead?

The more acting you do the better/more fun it is. Taking a "hit" and falling dead is more entertaining to do and see than just taking off your helmet (the sign of being "dead") and walking to the rear.

I primarily do Germans but have also done Japanese and Russian. I think the Germans had the coolest uniforms and the guy that got me into it ran a German unit.

Yeah, I agree. Being dramatic is the most fun.

Are you the one on NS that's in the 1st SS?

If so, Are you going to the GAP?
