Call of Duty 2, loved shooting those old rifles.
Yes, I still have the Playstation Medal of Honor soundtrack burned into my memory haha! Yeah that was the time I got into WW2 reenacting - in 1999/2000. Was a good time to get into collecting back then...I grew up in the 90s/2000s, so for me what did it was WW2 movies and video games that I was probably too young to be indulging in (but I think I turned out mostly OK). Around then interest in WW2 saw a spike thanks to Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. I watched those and played the Medal of Honor and the early Call of Duty games. I was also exposed to firearms at a young age, so the basis was already there.
Wow - I actually had a few of these books many many years ago!!When I was about 4 years old I had bedsheets with pictures of Colt Single Action Armies and Winchester '73s all over them.
Then I was given a book called The How and Why Wonder Book of Guns, which detailed the entire history of guns from the earliest hand cannons through the most modern Single Action Armies and Winchesters. I was particularly fascinated by the wheellocks.
Still hoping for a good deal on surplus wheellocks, whenever the Holy Roman Empire clears out their warehouses.
