“Do they use real guns in WW2 reenactments?” #ww2history #fact

It’s honestly kind of sad that we have to educate the masses on the differences. But it is best said that neither are safe, and both should be treated with respect and caution.

Thanks for telling

It’s just interesting that soldiers during WWII shot real guns without any ear protection, they were definitely “built different”.

The first WW2 re enactment I went to, I saw a guy get shot in the abdomen.

I saw WW2 helmet with scorpion insignia on it can u tell me to which military unit it belongs

Are the barrels rifled?

I don't want to hear people's bs so I shoot without hearing protection alongside skill saws tables saws, nail guns and open headers

Why not just use simunitions?

Why not paint? Like the ones they use in Chucky

How do the enemies know if they’re hit?

How do you know when your hit

Ok my question is during an reenactment how do you know that you are dead?? I mean du feel something or hear something that tells you that you're dead?

Real gun deactivated

how do you know if your hit when doing it then

Nice m1 helmet

How do you know when you are hit?

Wait… why do you have real bullets🤔 I’m jk

I’ve always wanted to get into the reenactment,.. but idk how or where to even start.. any help?

how do you know if you been shot

Is the logo on the helmet the 29th division?

How do you get started reenacting for someone who’s under 11

How do you feel if you get hit bro

Ask Alec Baldwin on his opinions of blanks

So, you’re shooting people with stuff that can and will kill them.

When did the ATF and FBI make murder legal?

I want that gun or do I have to get a real gun and put blanks on it

Where do I get blanks for the m1 grand

How do you get hit

you can also use deactivated bullets right

Does even get you hit?

How hard does the recoil kick

The first thought that came to my head was " andrew garfield!!?"

Those are not bullets those are cartridges, bullets are the projectile

Better than WorldWarWisdom

sometimes they will have a paper or wood plug as well for other blanks. These can also be dangerous if shot at a person within 10 - 20 feet.

If one is required to ask then this individual is a twit. Period

Does anyone possess the most miniscule & basic amount of common sensibility?

29th, Let's Go!!!

Some People are always surprised when I’m using live rounds in my short films lol, I don’t know where to buy blanks in person, besides a gun show, blanks are more $ then real rounds tho, like why?, don’t worry I’m the only actor in my films lol

do they check the guns incase?

What would you recommend for your ears to keep them safe?

Being a reenactor makes the saying “there’s no such a thing as stupid questions” complete BS lol

Do u actually have to buy the gear like the M1 helmet and the tunic and trousers and the rest of the gear?

How do you protect your ears at reenactments? Ofc soldiers then didn’t have ear protection, so you’d have to make it look like yall don’t. See through ear plugs?

Using blanks for reenactments never occurred to me. We would be a lot less traumatized if we didnt use real ammunition.

So this only makes noise? How do u know that you got hit?

But how do you know how do you when you get shot? Do you like just do you like just like when they shoot and that you think they hit you or something like what? How do you know if

For the hearing protection on your reinactment vids it doesn't look like yall use it so do you or no

So they just shoot gunpowder that’s what he’s saying for the people who don’t understand

I went to the Downtown linden TN reenactment. I was a German soldier and forgot about ear protection. Afterwards my dad took me to a Mexican restaurant and I was yelling my order at the waitress. Soon after I finished my order, my dad was trying to get my attention to get me to quiet down a little bit. Not long after, two ladies came over and asked, what are your clothes for? My answer was “I DO WORLD WAR 2 RE-ENACTMENTS. THE REST OF MY UNIFORM IS IN THE VAN. SORRY IF IM YELLING, I FORGOT TO WEAR EAR PROTECTION SO IM A BIT DEAF! WHAT DID YOU SAY? Dad-🤫
🙂‍↔️😅

Blanks can kill people
I remember a video of a guy showing off blanks and he pointed one at his head and he died

😮 to real

Shoot a blank up against your head and it will kill you
