Nice hardware, while the guns are quite impressive (nice SBR ppsh41), at first I was so captivated by seeing green grass (we lose that for about 6 months in NY)

, I nearly missed the 42, she is looking great

SBR? What's that?

I believe the PPSH is a post sample, it's a buddies and unfortunately not mine.

I hear you kn the green grass department though. Here in Texas we lose it threw summer.

Re: Video #1 ---- WOW!!!!

Hearing an MG42 at full speed is just awe-inspiring.

Can you imagine the utter TERROR of the unfortunate souls who were on the receiving end of that kind of action????????

Thanks for the video.

It's a shame that our country almost adopted the MG42 during WW2.They made a copy of it but it wouldn't function because the engineers screwed up by not extending the receiver by 3/4" to allow for the longer case of the 30-06 bullet.I think our soldiers would have preferred the MG42 over the M60 if they ever had a chance to compare them.

I like DA's sound clip - something about the recordings looses the deep roar of the guns. I'll never forget the first time I fired a 30-06 , no ear protection - my ears rang for ten minutes and I unloaded the remaining clip and walked away.
