Weapons

Important:

All weapons to be legally owned and documented as such, particularly in cases of Class three firearms, or destructive devices (mortars, PIAT, etc.) No “captured” enemy weapons to be used. (For example, do not buy a German MP40 and expect to use it at events with the story “I could have picked it up off the battlefield.”)
