In reenacting it's the status quo or what was "normal" that rules the day. We have guys that want to be Marine Force Recon that will find a picture of a FR team member packing a Swedish K submachine gun. Cuz he stole/traded whatever, for it in country. And the next thing you know you've got a 6 man Force Recon team that are all packing Swedish K's. It never happened that way. That's just an example. It is too bad though that obviously MP 40's are just not as plentiful as eastern bloc stuff. |

I know exactly what you're talking about, but have never heard a term for it and I'm going to start using it. For me though, the "Good Idea Fairies" really take the cake.  Frederico |
