I fought at this reenactment! I had an allied soldier discharge a bazooka round right in front of my ear, tore my ear drum out. I was also the one who captured one of your allied soldiers the night before the final engagement; good times

[@KirkHermary]

I doubt your ear drum was tore out. I've had my ear drum ruptured from a gun fired way to close to my head, but never tore out.

[@juliboi7230]

How does being a Sniper in a re-enactment work? Cause you use blanks.

[@thedoctor755]

You have to have a system where referees keep an eye on snipers, maybe radio to opposing refs who he is shooting at. Most of the time reenactment battles are not conducive to sniper action.

[@archielivingstone169]

Or there is just no sniper in re anactment

I remember half tracks are an awesome vehicles like transport, gun carrier and carry a flak gun and they also have mounted mgs so that you can shoot when the enemy is right in front of you

[@jaxontodd489]

I'm still quite confused on how these reenactments work but once I figure that out I might try doing world war 2 or maybe even world war 1 reenactments

[@thedoctor755]

Basically we get into units, and at tactical events, it's a wargame. Hits are made with the honor system. Public battles are usually scripted, and usually just a big "monster truck" type deal in a small open area for the public to see guys & vehicles running around.

[@AnExistingHumen]

7:49 this is so hilarious istg 😂

[@joshmeah7203]

Real guns brother. Not we cod games or airsoft.

You should prob do a vid on basic guidelines, info, sayings, age restrictions, cost about reenacting, as well as who Rita is. 😊

[@smartcookie6198]

you dont know rita? also google exists and its not always the same rules for reenactments

[@ronbednarczyk2497]

Your WWII events are just like my Civil War events. There are more Confederates than Federals at a battle that the Federals are supposed to win. The Confederates are wearing Kevlar uniforms. You do burn more powder than we do.

Awesome video man, did you ever have to be on the german side?

[@isaaks350]

He owns some German stuff, but in one of his equipment videos, I think he said he hasn’t done a German impression

[@isaaks350]

I think it’s in his video called Full Re-enactment collection tour from about 8 months ago

[@Benjamin-od8od]

Ty, i always wondered about that since obviously most american reenactors prefer the us side, the german side would still need to be staffed in roughly equal numbers so people would probably need to alternate.

[@shannonhagemo9624]

This was a great video nice job

[@TheAirsoftCorrespondent]

Good to see some 41st Armored Infantry Reg kits! Literally perfect for a Operation Cobra reenactment

[@rameynoodles152]

Honestly, I wonder if there's some way you guys could use something like Simunition with your WW2 reenactment battles? That would be sick as hell, to have real sounds along with paintballs for fair combat! Far more realistic that way too! Even if you have to use other rifles that are compatible with Simunition (AR15 etc), but placing rules on mag capacity to match the weapon that you are supposed to be using (8 for M1, 5 for K98, etc), that would still be really awesome.

[@greenfireproductions8629]

Do you only do reenactment where you live? Or just the state cuz there is a great place to go to for reenactment this year i think it was world war 1 and they had all the trenches really cool place it is called American GI museum located in Texas

[@ethanmcfarland8240]

Quick question, why do you only cover the European front but never the Pacific?

[@KirkHermary]

Exactly, that is so weaksauce.

[@star_zhee]

i think it because most japanese gears and guns is pretty hard to find in the US and most battle occured on the island

also the enviroment in the US doesnt feels or look like pacific front

[@Donald_the_812_productions]

What happens if you surrender and get captured is there like a cooldown where you just stay out of action for like 20 minutes?

[@mcbrians.8508]

6:29 private, you settled in a very precarious position (the middle of an open area) while wearing a non-camouflage uniform. I skimmed a ww2 infantry field manual video and the muscle memory of what to do when enemy shots were fired is to close in on the nearest brush or tree line even if it’s occupied by the enemy. I rather take my chances in close combat rather than getting sniped in the open. Open field is a no no in a rifle firefight, unless you’re bombarded by artillery fire or suppressed by a machine gun.

[@rogerallnut1577]

How do you call for fire in a re-enactment? Mortars or artillery?

How do you become a WW 2 Reenactor

I have 2 questions, 1 is how do grenades work in reenactment if you even use them and 2 where do you buy all of the reenactment stuff from

[@MistyGrey]

Man this would be so fun but one it must cost a lot to get the right gear

[@sunnyd1722]

I know it’s a military base so it’s a little bit different, but how do fields usually feel about rounds and clips and other debris (and trash) being on the fields? Is there usually a rule by them or by the reenacting group?

[@KirkHermary]

If you clean up after yourself like a regular human being nobody will care anywhere. Why would you leave casings, clips, and garbage laying around? Have you ever cleaned up after yourself? Do you clean your home?

[@sunnyd1722]

I can’t say I’ve ever shot a Garand or any gun in my home, so I don’t know what the proper etiquette for casings and clips is. Have you?

[@KirkHermary]

@sunnyd1722 clean up after yourself. The military term for cleaning up your casings is to "police your brass".

[@sunnyd1722]

How do you do that if you're moving and shooting? You can't retrace your steps if you're reenacting.

[@Nanimal630]
