Nice bayonett!
A friend of mine got me a German WW2 ammo box. Unfortunately the paper which said what kind of ammo is to be stored in there is nearly gone. But on the top it says "Luftdichter Patronenkasten" (airproof ammo box). The box is made from wood on the outside and the inside is made from metal. it´s quite heavy, I guess around 5 kilo? He got that box from his army base. I don´t know why that thing was there but it´s quite cool. Right now I use it to store my airsoft stuff. ^^
Apart from that I got from another friend a P08 "Luger" replica. Quite cool, although it´s de-activated. The best thing is that it can be partially disambled but unfortunately the cocking mechanism doesn´t work..
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

My two war rifles.
A 1944 Lee Enfield No4 MkI. I suspect it to be a paratrooper rifle though I don't have anything to confirm it.


And a 1918 version of M1917, a US 30.06 verion of the P14 rifle


That means I now have two rifles that are in FH2.. and those two happend to be the best rifles in FH2 in my opinion. I love aiming with the M1917 ;D

Still haven't fired the M1917 though.. will have to do that soon!

Sexy. The M1917 looks like to be in pretty decent condition.

Here be my sharpn-pointy collection. Nothing really noteworthy. The oldest thing is the mauser-looking bayonet, but it doesnt have any markings on it.

From left to right:
USMC KA-BAR
Crappy modernized Tanto
Swiss STG 57 bayonet
Mauser type bayonet (but it has a muzzle ring. I think that means its Austrian or something)
Sexy Hunting Knife
Mini Machete

Also got a US M40 gasmask, and a repo German m40/42 helmet.


I dont own any real guns, but I have a couple milsim paintball guns. Because I can shoot people with them.

Not pictured: All the cloths, assualt harnesses, dummy ammo, boxes, medals, other fiddly bits and a repo/dummy potatoemasher grenade.

EDIT:Well I will just let McGibs be the trend-setter.   ;)

Old pic...Full auto with the ROF jacked.  Back in the day when full-auto was allowed on the field.  Shame I play Paintball like I do FH.  Always sprinting in the open just to get cut down about 30 seconds after a round start.

Nice. I've got an X7 with a wooden ak47 stock and 30 round tactical hopper because I'm poor and cant afford to chew through a case of paint every game.
And a Zeus G2 pistol as a sidearm (pictured in that gasmask pic).

But we digress. paintball isnt -REALLY- militaria. Should open up a second thread for wargaming.

Oooh, I got to make some pictures of my stuff now.
And McGibs, if I am correct, Mauser bayonet with muzzle ring = Mannlicher bayonet.

  Actually the German WWII mauser bayo is very odd.  Most all (if not all) K98 bayonets have the ring.  I would put my money on it being a yugo M48 bayo.

All your money? I might go for a bet there.
