The pic of the three German reenactors standing near the Zundapp with the half track coming down the road is great! Someone just needs to crop out the corner of the white folding table and change it to black and white. A definite "Oh shiza!" moment. ![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

I have been lurking on this site for a couple of years. I have gotten a lot of info from the people on here. I went to the flamethrower shoot on Saturday and joined the site finally because I wanted to say thanks. My son and I had a blast and got to meet some great people. I have done some cool stuff in my day, and got to fire some fun weapons in my time. But firing the flamethrower is right up there, as one of the coolest.
That is awesome! Welcome to the community. I have met a lot of the guys on this forum, and honestly every single one of them have been absolutely outstanding individuals. I'm glad this event made you want to go green!
yeah I would love to thank Dan (FSTC) and all his staff at New England Gun Events. They were all the volunteers and were the wonderful people in the green shirts and open carrying.
A special shout out to Claudia Steward (Cbsstewart2) she was the overall RSO and did an amazing job keeping everyone safe while we were all having fun.
After hours fun!

What is "New England Gun Events?" Can't find anything mentioned online.
Never mind, found them on FB.

I haven't set up a website, facebook only at this time. We have hosted events ranging from Bachelor parties to ladies day at the range and corporate outings.
Here are the pictures I took. Sorry they're a little out of order; one of my cameras wasn't set for DST, so the timestamps are wrong, and then Lightroom numbers files in a way that confuses flickr when you try to sort alphabetically.

Yup Dan's company and my company Iron Road Firearms worked very closely together to make this event happen. We already have bigger tanks lined up for next year and more armor!

ONLY 324 pictures?!?!? You need to work harder next time!
Some of the burst pics of the flamethrowers came out really nice.
There were thousands of pictures taken that day, I suspect that we will see them being published for months!

Just poking fun at a friend, all in good fun. IIRC he shot 1300 pics himself.
You also picked one of my favorite pictures to include in your post. Looks like it could be right from the war.

Thank you everyone for the communal pictures, there will surely be a wall hanger. Once again THANK YOU everyone involved. They say men never grow up, I have to give it to the women on this one! To everyone who couldn't make it, this is the pure satisfaction of holding a flamethrower...

I'm glad you had an awesome time! I hope all of our public operators had a blast. It was a little hectic at times, but you should have seen your face when you opened up with that beast!
Hey Everyone,
Thanks for making this event a success, I just wanted to let everyone know about my company that we will be launching in the summer! Here is our Facebook page!

Again, had a terrific time!
Here are my two videos - First is the American/Allied assault on the bunker (Didn't get the tank crushing the bunker as I ran out of space on my phone), the second the German attack.

Love it. Can't wait until next time. I'm bringing some boring toys (no FA sorry) and I'll plan on staying later (maybe I'll just sleep in my car)

I took a bunch of burst shot photos of the NES members' flamethrower action. Maybe a person with the means could convert the frames into a movie format.
