Jackboots and 44dot, just dont quite go together........................... Yes they do! In 1944 there was a greater number of low boots then before, but jackboots were not out of stock. ;) Not out of stock is correct, front line usage by combat units, well thats a different story isnt it.

Sorry, should of called it "why idiots with mp40s are bad" Heres an over view of what really happened for all the blank firing " experts' to digest. The MGC in the clip was using an original MGC front barrel nut which broke under the pressure for firing. UK front venting MGC's becaus...

That sounds like a pretty good idea, but I am rather particular on the color match. How close could you get it to an original?

But we all know that 99% reading this are already going "Bollox to that!" and it's all about getting out in the woods or in front of the punters - puffing up the chest and going BRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAP then feeling the cock stand subside....... Oh Paul, surely you exagerate........................
