How To Take a Hit: WWII Edition

Once you know how to take a hit at a reenactment, the knowledge is yours for life. It does not change that much from one time period to another.
However a few years ago I promised you all a series of these videos, and you have been persistent in asking for them. So, here I present to you (with all fun intended) the continuation of this series. Enjoy!

[@americaneagle4670]

I love the attempted accent. Really cements the immersion

[@StudioTReenacting]

Going for that classic "trans-atlantic" accent 👌

[@markryan4110]

You don't win wars by dying for your country You win by making the other poor bastard die for his

[@diefreikorps9754]

[@williamcurtis4886]

[@charlieindriago8609]

After 4 years the new edition has finally come out

[@samsvintagerepairs867]

The U.S. Army (un)Official "Ways To Die" training film. Love it! The neck hit was pretty unexpected, but defiantly needed.

[@502ndPathfindersRG]

Guys this is an absolute epic piece of work, all reenactors should take note of.

[@theabstractchicken3998]

The Return of the King

[@dangermouse69div]

Love this. Great job guys! 😂 The throat hit was spectacular 👌🏻

[@DelcoAirsoft]

So sick guys! Awesome video!

[@lefishy38]

The 2 dislikes were probably from the snipers that missed you

[@Moostic]

Looking good, boys. You earned yourself a subscriber.

[@themeparkinformation935]

After seeing this video a few months ago and taking a patrol hit at am event, some spectators mentioned how realistic it looked 🤣, so I think I'll use all these deaths in future battles in reenactment, 5 stars

[@muricaman3345]

great video!

[@ritchhistory1888]

Looks great!

[@Fireguy723]

This was fantastic! I reenacted with several wannabe Rambos that would've benefitted from this video. Great stuff guys!!

[@jamesharrison9336]

Great! Do you have any more taking hits edition? Ever done Korean War Reenacting?

[@wakeringlivinghistorygroup8294]

[@hartmann3288]

[@wakeringlivinghistorygroup8294]

The end cracked me up

[@LipeBrickStudios]

how does this man speak like an average 20-year-old in the 1940s? 💀

[@samsvintagerepairs867]

That's what I was wondering about. These two did it perfect!

[@andrissanta9905]

After the video title, I taught you guys gonna do a tutorial on a bong😂

[@saintpaul9711]

What about the shots where you dont die instantly? Do you just lay there and scream until you think you've lived long enough?

[@StudioTReenacting]

Highly recommended

[@jamesg.6169]

Get we get an 18th century/black powder edition

[@ShaneT.0331]

Gotta do the classic SpongeBob line " My Leg!!! "

[@leavyproductions4468]

How do I join a reenactment group?

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

There backkk

[@Maverick1944]

I though it's all basically "drop like a sack of potates" all the exaggerated flailing screams 60s-70s war movies to me

[@varez6268]

amazing! now i know how to die not only in a reenactment but IRL

[@ViolentNut]

Take a shot every time they say now

[@Rhett_Kierbow]

[@Joe-sc8fu]

We need a civil war one. Im not trying to get trampled when advancing.

[@justagi119]

watch out for crawdads

[@therealDuk3]

Ayyyy

[@bretthackett7720]

Can you do how to take a hit civil war edition

[@Ruebenbayona]

Fun fact this is how every body talked on camera in the 40s

[@lightningstrike2326]

How do you know when you're hit and where you're hit

[@mproduction69]

You really have no way of telling exactly where and if you were hit but you have to make you best guess so for example if your rushing a German position and you see a German soldier looking at you and they start shooting then that’s how you would know if you died. But if German aren’t looking at you and you are rushing a point then you won’t die so that’s a trick to know when you died or not

[@JinKee]

Mat Damon

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

1 up us on a AWI taking a hit

[@damionw9740]

But how do you know if your the one being hit?

[@StudioTReenacting]

Most of the time it's up the the individual reenactor. You gage the situation, and take a hit when and if it makes sense.

[@frontlinereenacting691]

Hits are interpretational

[@eggsykingsmans674]

As the others said, you basically make up your mind. However, if you fall over on accident I recommend you take it as a hit, Basically if you trip over something just take it as if you were shot.

[@Nebula1146]

my favorite thing I've ever learned, how to die

[@pauldray2108]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@michaelallison1255]

your killing me!! love it, whose brain child was this!!

[@johnjenkins8782]

Nice 1940s b movie actor accent

[@kampfgruppebockmann5745]

Didn't know Americans "could" die in reenactment!? 😯

[@gefreiterpanther2419]

Thats not real reenactment. All US reenactors i encounter dont know what it is to lose or being hit. We always face the whole us captain american army

[@StudioTReenacting]

Believe me I know. Everyone one loves to wear their "reenactor kevlar" haha. But hey, what are ya gonna do.

[@gefreiterpanther2419]

@@StudioTReenacting If they dont wanna take a hit, the shovel comes to help. When this bad boy hits, they have to admit it ^^

[@StudioTReenacting]

@@gefreiterpanther2419 hey whatever works for ya man haha

[@teodorogerald]

Nah the American reenactors don't need to get hit, they have plot armour! But I have seen plenty of German reenactors get hit
