Banshee Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 Since CM has been such an enormous hit, I was thinking that the friendly board members should help find ways for BTS to spend those wheelbarrows full of money they have lying around. (I imagine the house is getting full of them by now). First off, to settle the "Vehicles moving too fast across open ground" debate, I am thinking BTS could use an M-2 White Scout car: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=535695008 To settle the HMG running debate I would suggest getting a MG-34 (couldnt find a -42) : http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=535586295&ed=979006108 and some ammo cans: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=532582931&ed=978492038 and a a tripod: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=532805535&ed=978811646 Throw in a panzerfaust for AT defense: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=535527945 or two: http://www.pacificcoast.net/~gmax/ordnance/P100m.htm So help BTS out, post some links.

GriffinCheng+ Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 Gaustav, I have check the site but I cannot find it. Can you be more specific? TIA.

GriffinCheng+ Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 Though it is a tag expensive, that MG34 is pretty good. However, I don't think I can get it to import to Hong Kong either.

The Commissar Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 I wonder if there are functional MG34's still around for the civilian who has everything?

109 Gustav Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Wow! Longmountain (pvt. Ryan's link) has Reisings. Too bad the link doesn't work. My grandpa carried one with the marines. He says he hated it, and swapped it for an M1 as soon as he could. **Grognard quiz**- What is a Reising, and why was it hated? ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

CaSCa Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 A guy I knew was in a WWII recreation society as part of a Waffen SS unit. They had a Czech built 251 HT mounting an MG34 that fired wooden bullets. There was a splitter on the end of the barrel that turned the bullets into sawdust. They also had MP40's. One of the members had a federal firearms license and he bought all the automatic weapons (the members paid for them but he did the transactions) and kept them between outings. They were an interesting group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 The Reising Model 50 was not popular in combat. The United States Marines had adopted the Reising early in the Pacific campaign as a stop-gap weapon until they could obtain sufficient quantities of the Thompson submachine guns. Unfortunately, they had a propensity to jam if even small amounts of dirt were introduced into the mechanism, particularly in the bolt-locking recess. And, as any Pacific Theater veteran can affirm, jungle combat is dirty work indeed. On Guadalcanal, most of the Reisings issued to Marines were dumped in the river, and the gun was withdrawn from service soon afterward. http://www.classicfirearms.org/reisingM50.html There is a book about the Reising on this site: http://www.machinegunbooks.com/index2.html God, I love Google!
