I know alot of people never done this before, but I'd like to hear some predictions:

Do you think a MG42 could blow a thompson in half (in the gun, not the stock or anything).

Yes an mg42 could probably blow a thompson in half.....yes it could im posotive. It does depend on the angle tho. So a direct hit to the side would most likely punch holes in it, and at the rate that mg42s fired there would be enough holes to compeltly cut it in half.

Hey guys!
Haven't been around for a while now.

Recently picked up a nice m96 Swedish mauser in 6.5mm.
We're presently working on a WWII film...I'll try to get some pics up soon.

The board is pretty much dead isnt it?

hey JDL my parents bought that same type of helmet at the same place... wow you weer near me.... creepy!!

Here let me throw some pictures in from a video I did for school. Maybe it will make this board the undead.

Don't yell about the garand belt with the carbine, we had 15 minutes before my cameraman left, and I didn't fell like taking off the canteen and the haversack (my other three haversacks are missing buckels and I still need to attach the replacement ones) and all the other do-dads.

You wouldn't believe how dark it got, so frickin' fast!

And Maj, that 2nd Rangers impression looks fantastic along with everything else.

Thanks!

My only problem is, the dress uniform has a different unit on it, :p . Oh and if you look at the ribbons, there's two of the same one on there, so I need to take one off add my other three and the combat infantry badge. And throw some ranks on the uniforms.

That's why you do all that stuff yourself

maj_barnes · Post by **maj_barnes** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 4:26 pm

I couldn't find my tripod, and if he left, it would have been only two of us, and I needed to make sure both of us were in the shots.

ctbullet · Post by **ctbullet** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 7:19 pm

wicked kit, that is true it is much easier to do it yourself, people can be rather unreliable,

leave your camera on a rock to get both of you in, not practicle what so ever, just thought i'd make a suggestion

Zacatac927 · Post by **Zacatac927** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 10:17 pm

yah it was... hey JDL wanna help me make my movie... if your interested email me zacthanpro@yahoo.com

maj_barnes · Post by **maj_barnes** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 12:25 am

Thanks! I was disappointed that my friend didn't bring over his thompson, so I had to settle with my greaser.

Yea, we could have done that but if we had quite a few shots that would just follow us walking.

But also, the railroad tracks that we were marching around on, and also alot of the places around it were elevated.

If we did set it on a rock, we would have only had shots looking up and plus with it getting so dark, most of the shots would focus in on the sky rather than us walking around, so you would have black blobs walking around.

Oh I forgot to mention im looking for a strap and net for my helmet if anybody knows any good sites. I dont think they have any at ATTHEFRONT.

maj_barnes · Post by **maj_barnes** » Sun Jan 08, 2006 11:16 pm

They do, just look around. I find most of my stuff on ebay.

Oooh, fear the Aussies! They're a force to be reckoned with!

I'm not going to mince words. I just read this and I find it really insulting.

Granted, Mr. Nazi-Sentry's view that our SASR is "the best" has little relevance (nor would he be my first choice for Australia's ambassador even in this humble corner of the internet). There are simply too many factors to take into account to make any kind of judgement regarding the relative merit of any single special forces group. Each has a specialised role.

That said, when people come out and poke fun at a nation or a people so shamelessly as is evident in the post relayed above, most forums wouldn't tolerate it. Word is, they have these things called "moderators" who are supposed to deal with this kind of cr** and the offenders who purport it. Why wasn't this picked up on earlier???

Get with the times.

maj_barnes · Post by **maj_barnes** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 1:58 am

Because it was very humorous. I don't think it was an insult, I think it was something to make people laugh. Get with the times, we are all entitled to our opinions, and our own sense of humor.

And how old is that post?

Recogged · Post by **Recogged** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 2:40 am

I don't care how old it was, my point is that it should not have been allowed. It makes me very angry to see my country knocked.
