if your completly buggered for german kit, or if you want to play as volkssturm (i know theres a couple of you with the outfit :D )
heres some photos of the real deal.

raid a charity shop, and you could find a "Volkssturm outfit" for under 20 quid.

Also ANY ww2 weapon or wooden stocked rifle, would do, they were issued all sorts of bollocks, but mostly panzerfausts looking at the pictures

heres the pictures (some already in the booking thread)

I think that is actually the volksturm rifle- the VG 1-5. A rare beast that used STG ammo and mags but was semi-auto only.

I'm sure I've seen some footage (possibly stills?) of the Berlin Volkssturm armed with MG08/15s and rechambered Lewis guns as well.

Cheers
