They are smiling but the reason for the smile is that they are planning to eat me






Night shooting

At the firing range with the mg-3







He thinks he is Rambo or something ....

Dont tell him that he actually doesnt look dangerous....







But wait till he gets the automatic grenade launcher ...

Thanks for the pics

Those ones with tracers in the night are beautiful. What produced the straight streaks of light and what about the jaggedy lightening looking ones?

Thanks again.

I hate to say this but Germans having torch light ceremonies at night make me nervous.

None the less, the pictures are pretty cool. That automatic grenade launcher is really cool.

Well, they were there before the 3rd reich, so why shouldn't they afterwards? Actually the "Zapfenstreich" is a military ceremony from the early 19th century.

You were with the Warteboullion?

LOL. I don`t really care about that but I do miss those beautifull helmets.
When I was in the army I got a chance to fire a whole belt with MG 42.
Indescribable.....orgasmic....but it eats ammo at an incredible rate.

Wow...more cool pics. The fun never ends.
Are you a machinegunner or a wartime correspondent?

Why are you shooting a machine gun at a target from only 20 meteres?

To be honest , im not sure. Its only on those pics. In real it looked more like an thunderstorm. But with more thunder than flashes

I think the speed of the ammunition fired was higher than the reaction time of the camera thats why its looking so.

You are more nervous when youre standing there. Just be careful with that torch ! Its easy to light the uniform of the men in front of you up when youre not cautious.
