Migs, Cant make this one. It is opening day for my baseball league. Being director of tee ball, I kind of have to be there. Zeno, I am not going, but I will be putting this out to my guys anyway. If any of them are going, you would be more than welcome to carpool with them. We are out of CT and MA. Ray, I have your sten that you lent Brandon. I will try to get it down to you with any troops that may attend. Great. Thanks for getting the sten and sending it up. Josh

The guns (Real MG34 with aluminum receiver/AGM STG-44) used in this build belonged to the owner. What we did is machine the parts and create the Assault drum, feed system, upgrade the gear box then assembly the whole gun. Total cost, do to the materials used in the build was $650.00.

Just what a MG support weapon should be capable of. Bravo. Is that a STG-44 married to a real MG-34 replica gun? The bottom of the receiver was gone and they wanted to see if I could put the STG44 bottom to the gun. So with some machining we added it and created a feed system and 120rd assault mag.

Its a good idea to stay clear of any tents. A waiver means nothing if someone trips on a tent line gets impaled on a stake. Or god forbid something else happens but each his own. As for us if we go, we will set our tent and period items in the parking area for safety. Its better to be safe than sorry. Besides that, it will give those camping in that area a little bit of a feel and look at the equipment. In any case it should be a safe and fun event.

The Shoei was a beautiful reproduction. I had the honor of firing one once and what a thrill. Unfortunately they are hard to come by. Below is a link showing various pictures and descriptions for the Shoei at $1,365. www.modelguns-worldwide.com/mg42.htmAside from the real thing (which I have also fired and currently own) the Shoei comes in a close second both in weight, quality, proportions and perfect attention to detail. Like I said we sold 6 Shoei MG-42s and not one was really airsoft worthy but in all one very nice replica. We decided to go the more reliable AEG route with a gearbox that has readily accessible parts and a 2 year warranty on the body and 60 day gearbox. Oh, and its in the USA not China or the UK so you wont have to pay hundreds in shipping and its also in stock...
To all the naysayers. The only thing we are trying to do is bring a much wanted and more reliable and readily available WW2 airsoft replica to the sport for all to enjoy. It is our hope that all understand that we want this sport to grow and by actually making available such products we hope to have a hand in doing this .

JP - Yes the airsoft corner MG-42 has some scale inequities but I think you should be able to suspend your disbelief for airsoft reliability. The Shoei just does not have that without lots of TLC and maybe not even then. Burt's gun clearly is a replica of an MG-42 and look at the cup half full. My Ultima (formerly Burt's) has had work and rework and is currently going to be main armament on a soon to be completed project but I wouldn't say I have absolute faith in it yet. The Ultima feed system had to be scraped and if the gearbox goes than I am out of luck. Burt's option has readily replaceable parts. $300 of his price is also tied up in a nice crate. I think the bipod question needs addressing but if he has a 375-FPS stock MG-42 offering he is the only game in town at present. Supply and Demand. Here is a link to how mine shoots! s125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/Miker_10/MG42%20Movies/?action=view¤t=M4V00196.mp4It really does hum and goes through ammo fast. Burt - Good Luck with your endeavor and maybe when the economy picks back up, people will find the funds again. Sorry all for not getting back to you on the Bi-Pod. Yes it does come with a removable Bi-pod. Thanks Ersatzjack.

Gosh. I wish it wasn't so expensive; its more than Shoei's. Not really. Then you have to buy the air rig to run it. That’s if it shoots. We’ve sold 6 Shoei MG42s in our 10 years of service and not one shot very well. It’s one awesome replica MG-42 but NOT very airsoft functional.

Thanks for your interest in our MG. We posted on this forum sometime back the internal setup of this AEG. It is built off of an M249 setup. The stock fps is that of 375. I did not imply that the gun in the chest was our AEG. The photo came from the manufacturer of the chest as is the custom when selling another’s product www.brpguns.com/products/MG42-Transit-Chest.htmlwww.robertrtg.com/mgtransitchest.htmlWe will have this up on youtube shortly. Our account is AirsoftCornerCom. If you have any other concerns please email us at sales@airsoftcorner.com

At first I was not going to dignify Burt’s post with a response but Ray’s, personal attacks do deserve some kind of minimal response. 1) From the beginning everyone knew that the German camp would be a main focus of Partisan attacks both during the day and at night. Sorry I didnt get the memo 2) Oil Lanterns were on at the beginning of dusk just before the night fighting and through the battle. At no time did Ray or Josh express any concern over this until the end of the battle after their tent was hit. Its very hard and unsafe to find people running around the fields in the dark…... 3) At some point in the evening both Ray and Josh left to the store to purchase supplies and upon their return in the middle of battle you both went into your tent turned on your oil lamps and never came back out. It was rumored by multiple people that you both were drinking in your tent. We left looking for camp fire wood as we told you we ended up getting lost on our we back as we couldn’t really see anything. It all looks the same in the dark but when we returned the battle was on the apposite side of the camp and town area.4) The only tent that had lit oil lamps inside was your tent. No other tents had any oil lamps lit or unlit inside them. Correct as we thought that NO modern issued electric lamps or heaters are allowed at the event. How are we to fix the guns in the dark. Also we only had maybe 3 hours sleep the night before and a full days play. And as I recall you had around 7 lamps light in the camping area and a roaring fire not more then 10 feet from the tent…5) At some point several hours into the night fight, someone shot at your tent and extreme vulgarity and threats came out from one of you. The anger and loudness you expressed caused many more people to think you both were drinking. Well if people heard it why then did they continue to shoot at us in the tent…. Drinking that was all hearsay but we did see people drinking Jack at the fire during game play and offered a drink but we refused . Check your facts or better yet the source of those facts. 6) Ray, not since high school has any one stooped so low as to personal name calling. Even my 15 year old son could not believe that kind of immaturity. I have no comment to this. But maybe respect of others property should also be taughtWhile we welcomed your attendance at this event and really looked forward to your participation and contributions, I personally believe this whole matter could have been handled differently. Had either of you came to any of us before the battle or during the battle and expressed any concern over oil lamps being a danger in the cross fire, we would have gladly respected your concerns and removed them immediately. Instead you both chose to lock yourself inside your tent with everyone wondering why neither of you would participate in the battle and then angrily left the event after the battle. Had you communicated better with us before the fact instead of after, I believe this incident could have been avoided and you both could have had a much better experience. 1) From the beginning everyone knew that the German camp would be a main focus of Partisan attacks both during the day and at night. Sorry I didnt get the memo 2) Oil Lanterns were on at the beginning of dusk just before the night fighting and through the battle.

Well if people heard it why then did they continue to shoot at us in the tent….As to being drunk I don’t think so The reason I left the sport 3 years ago was do to the fact I have a progressive liver disease (NASH) that at the time ripped me of my health and still. If you wanted drunks you should have looked to your own people that offered us Jack and who were drinking at the time of the “Fire fight”. Next time get your facts straight before accusation are spilled 6) Ray, not since high school has any one stooped so low as to personal name calling. Even my 15 year old son could not believe that kind of immaturity. I have no comment to this. But maybe respect of others property should also be taught

You would be pretty angry too, if due to the actions of others, yourself and your belongings were nearly lite on fire. I personally think Joshua wasn’t out of line so much so as you think. While most everyone was out fighting and not really paying any attention to what was going on, Josh and I were inside our tent repairing a couple of guns that had some minor malfunctions and not so minor. Had we not been in our tent at the time, we probably would have had a fire in it due to the thoughtless actions of others and the thoughtless planning of the event organizers to have a firefight inside the German camping area. Furthermore, I found it very, very un-reasonable and disrespectful of the players whom, after the first couple warnings and then after the threating warnings, to have continued to shoot at the tents, run into them, trip over the securing ropes and whatnot. Hell, some people even got closer to the tent and shot what seemed to be an entire magazine into it. It is not as if a few stray shots were hitting the tents or equipment. People were almost purposely firing into it. And before anyone says, “oh, bb’s won’t go through the canvas”, experience tells us otherwise. Sam’s canvas US staff tent has holes in it for that very reason. So do a couple of the Zeltsban tent quarters that have been used in the past to cover the tops of MG-Nests; thus is why we have traditionally always banned fighting around the encampments. I saw a lot of new faces at this event and not a lot of old faces. Personally, given the lack of sensibility surrounding the safety of everyone and the lack of respect given to a few, I can see why I didn’t see a lot of old familiar faces. My unit may never again come to an event held by people that cannot understand these simple concerns; those concerns being: the safety of persons and property. Sincerely, “the unreasonable, irrational drunks” I'm not saying that I wouldn't be angry, but threatening to kill someone is beyond inappropriate. And as far as you almost getting "lit on fire", that's you own fault. You went into a tent in the middle of a fire fight and lit your lanterns... if you were so concerned why didn't you unlit the lanterns? Sincerely, the "reasonable, sober, majority" This is a dead point now. Please lets move on..... The issue has been resolved by those involved in the creation of ww2 airsoft events ..

I had nothing less than an excellent time. Very realistic and sportsmanship was at it's finest. I have been playing airsoft since 2006 but had only gone to Day of days before this event and now i'm hooked. Thanks for everyone who came and thanks Brandon for hosting the event! If I sound unreasonable then so be it but never in my 11 years of airsoft have I ever seen this type of disrespect… I found you to be unreasonable. I understand that you were upset, but screaming uncontrollably about how your going to mutilate/ torture and kill someone because they shot your tent is simply unacceptable. And I haven't been playing airsoft for 11 years, but since I have, I have never seen someone so out of control that they are threatening another person like you did. I think that is why some might have thought you were drunk, because your behavior was so out of line at points. Your probably correct but unfortunately after requesting the first dozen or so times of requesting them to stop they didn’t listen so I thought to be more voicetress might get the point accrues but even then that didn’t help as it got worse and the person that ran into my tent that was it. It just teaches me not to bring anything to events WE ourselves don’t hold in Upstate New York. Its truly unfortunate that all this transpired on both sides of the issue but it did and so we move on and hopefully all the more wiser.

Behind the Eastern Front November 19th-20th Its really sad to see that my returning game to the sport was one of complete and udder disrespect . I really appreciated those that shot my WW2 German command tent not once, not twice but several times and then tried to make Ray and I out be drunken unreasonable fools for NOT allowing it. I’m sorry but the tent and the items inside both reproduction and original, a lot of which are family items are not things to be looked at as simply nothing. I purchased those items for all to enjoy both visually and to immerse those that LOVE the era. Its just sad to see the sport I left 3 years ago do to health issues had deteriorated to the saddened level it has today. I’m so sorry that I didn’t want my TENT nor items inside the camping area used as targets.. Including the dozen or so oil burning lamps in the camping area. If I sound unreasonable then so be it but never in my 11 years of airsoft have I ever seen this type of disrespect…

Speaking of Foxholes, does anyone on the German side have the capability to fire mortars or any type of nerf artillery on US forces occupying Bastonge and the surrounding areas? I think this would be a great element to the game if US forces had to deal with that. We could bring a mortar.

[quote author=sfcmigs board=northeasternus thread=9119 post=109683 time=1320262752 Yes I purchased it from Peter at Tentsmiths. I'm also looking into getting his newest German tent that will be coming out this spring. You will not be disappointed, they do excellent quality work. I have one of their Mountain Troop tents and am very impressed with the attention to detail and quality workmanship. They usually have a 4 to 5 week production time. Do they know you need this by the 19th of November? Yup, I told Peter I needed it for this event. He assured me he would have it to me by then.
