Title: A new kit on the horizon for Sir Wolf?
Post by: Sir Brian on 2011-01-05, 17:02:39

Hey Sir Wolf I guess you’ll have to add another kit to make for your long list! This group's activity sounds like fun though! :)

Very cool. One of the questions I had while reading the article got answered before the end, thankfully. I was wondering whether they were going for 100% authenticity with the guns, since full-auto tommy guns run upwards of $30,000 since they're all antiques. Modern manufacture (yes, they still make them) are entirely semi-auto. You can still get the historical look with the short barrel as a class-3 firearm, or with a longer barrel to meet modern laws if you want to avoid class-3.

It sounds like a lot of fun. :)

EDIT: This is why I know these things:

They need to make a place similar to their shooting range, except with moving targets that we can wallop with swords, and that charge at us with lances and such. :D

That's a slick getup, Sir Edward.  I dressed up as 47 on Halloween...didn't have the twin Silverballers (or the bald head) but I had the rest, including shoulder holsters.  Wish I could find a pic of that....

Don't mix your eras. 1940's isn't the same as 1920's. :)  Hehe.. awesome kit though. And I love the "accessories". I see a Thompson on the rack there. Who owns that one?

The tommy guns are cool but not real practical. About 13 pounds empty.

Yep. I am still holding out for my Barrett .50 cal. I always wanted one, then read it's 31 lbs of weight, plus ammo, then I thought, crap, I'm carrying 85 lbs of armor! Bring on the backpack!

 Actually, I was looking at a Steyr-aug sniper this morning that fires one hell of a sabot round.....

ya thats what i meant, i already have a 1900s kit. i think i'd get killed if i had more than 2... even though my Navy uniform is for the 1970s hehehe but it was free.

i've looked at a few Steyers too. gotta make sure they are the long ones,  not the cut down carbine versions, or so i'm told

Well, you'll just have to start doing 2 kits per century.
