Weapons and Vehicles
The group currently possess a number of weapons for use in their living history displays and battle re-enactments. We will hopefully be adding an MG34 and Panzerfausts to this list shortly. We also have access to a Kubelwagon via one of our members.
K98k The standard issue rifle to the german soldier is in fact a carbine. Firing the standard 7.92mm round this bolt action rifle had a capacity to hold 5 rounds in its internal magazine. Powerful, yet accurate. |

P38 The standard issue sidearm for NCO's, Officers and LMG teams. The P38 pistol was reknown for its reliablility, much so over its more famous brother, the Luger. |
