How was the day at the range? Those are actually some older shots, from Phoenix back before my tour to Korea. I haven't been to the range in over a year.

All those shirts back there in the closet Luke...  And I see that you also save all of your product boxes in the closet like I do. LOL!

You participate in WWI re-enacting? The Moisin-Nagant is a sweet rifle but my first choice would be a KAR 98.

How does that work? How do you tabulate casualties and who wins or loses?
Looks cool, but if it is scripted, then I would not want to do it (but it would be cool to watch).

-Skater It is not scripted. The entire system is based on a honor system. If you see a gun pointing towards you, and there is a "bang" - it is most likely you're hit. Most fighting is done within 50 meters so it's not exactly realistic engagement range, but there is a strong sense of what it was like; the sense of battle. I'm still feeling a fatigue after doing this for a weekend.

I'm very much into paintball, mostly scenario type play. It really gets your adrenaline going, and house to house fighting is really intense. The feeling of running into a door when you know there are guys on the other side is quite frightening :P Anyhow, got this image hosting thing figured out: (Me and the almost missus)
