how much does a Mp44 sturm Gewher or a Mg42 go for?
-
Do these guns even fire anything (ie smoke, rubber bullets, bbs, live ammo, ect.)?

I only saw one MP44 the whole time I participated. It made me feel all soft in the midle;) Awesome rifle, they are very rare and cost thousands. I have fired the MG42 and the MG39 not quite as expencive although still probably over $1000 for an operable. The price comes down quite a bit for a blank only gun. You can actualy buy a demillatarized MG for a couple hundred bucks but the action has been cut into three or four pieces with a torch. If you manage to get it welded back together you have to register it and get an automatic weapons license. The license is 2 or 3 hundred dollars and is renewed yearly. In order to get this license you sighn away your right to search and seasure. The BATF is allowed to enter your residence to inspect you weapons at any time. This aplies wether you buy the gun intact or rebuild it your self.
This is why I say the fun toys are expencive.
The bolt-action rifles fire blanks, crimped ends with no projectile. The autos have a few options. If you have a “blank gun” the barrel has been drilled through and filled with lead. These guns fire fine with crimped end blanks. They also do not require a automatic weapons license.
If you have an operational machine gun you have to adapt it to fire blanks. One method, used by the Germans for training was that the bullets were made of wood and an adapter was made that was similar to clamping a nail inside the barrel this was called a “bullet shredder”. This was used for the MG 39 and 42.
As for knowing if your hit, well that goes by the honor system or referees. Half the fun is dieing creatively, besides some times you get tired of running and it feels good to play dead for a while!
-
Ha. Sounds like a fun game. Only problem is is that it’s hard to judge who’s dead when you’re firing a MG42. More like everybody dies.
-
lol! All one thousand of you guys just died!
Where’s the source of weapons? Is it a catalog, ebay, or what?
-
I think you can buy weapon accessories like the MG42, but not the weapon itself last time I checked. I assuming it’s probably from mail order gun catalogs as that’s wear I get my guns from.
-
my father doesn’t want me buying weapons until i’m 18 (collectible ones, i wanted to buy some ww2 sub-machine guns, and a german machine gun (MG33?)) i’ll settle with army helmets for now :smile:

I like cheeze

that’s very nice…

There is a paper called “Shotgun News” that companies advertise guns in you can get all kinds of accesorys there, but you have to have someone with a dealers license order the guns for you.
I have a couple of collectable millatary guns. I have my K98 which is matching and stamped 1941, I have an M1 Garand, a Walther P-38 and an AK-47, not sure if that last one realy fits in there but its millitary anyway.
In one of the battles I went to I built a simulated bunker out of plywood. A buddy of mine and I got in it with an MG42 and an MP40 and two Squads one Brit and one American tried unsuccessfully to “dislodge” us. What a blast. I’m telling you that MG42 is like a buzzsaw, you can rip through a belt of 50 rnds in just a few seconds.
-
so where is a good place to check out prices? and how much more money is a fire ready weapon than a de-militarized one?
-
I don’t remember where you said you are from, but Walmart here carries Shotgun News. I’d check that out it looks like a newspaper but it is a periodicle that is puplished every 10 days.
I’ll do some looking around and see what I can come up with for you.
Are you looking for something in particular?
-
don’t go through so much trouble for me! i can’t legally own a firearm for another 364 days. I would like to own a MP44 and or MG42. That’s my dream…
-
Where do you live? In Arizona you are aloud to own a fire arm at any age you just can’t buy it your self. And just afew years ago they passed a law that says you have to have a permission slip from your parrents to carry it. Before that it wasn’t nessaccery. I got my first shotgun when I was 12. I belive I had 6 guns by the time I turned 18.

My friend ,here in Canada, has a Lee Enfield Canadian iusse from WW2. Its not registered though.
-
does the lee work
my grandfather had a ww1 ross rifle along with some 1812 muskets but he pawned them all before he died -
Yup, it works, His(my friends) grandfather-n-law hunted with it…lol sick.
-
My Kar-98 works great I can keep a 1" group at 100 yards. It is more accurate then my M1 Garand.
-
I would like to own a German MG43 (though I’d settle with a MG34) but you’ll have to pawn over a lot of dough in order to get one. For now I’m content with my WII Thompson submachine gun and Mauser which each cost me less than $200.
Also, does anybody knows what happens to weapons and vehicles after a war? Are the infantrymen required to turn over all their weapons and munitions even if they want to keep a pistol or rifle for personal reasons? Can you request to buy the plane you fought in if you were a high scoring ace?
-
I always personally liked the German Africa Core uniforms. No real reason, just fits my tastes.
