This scenario is set in 1941 on the home front and combines a true event with an element of fiction to create a scenario that is both interesting in the historical sense as well as creating a workable battle. While it might well be called "faction" it still holds dear the Comrades in Arms living history concept - examining what goes on in combatant's minds with the trials and tribulations of following orders - to your death if necessary.
With this is mind we have to be practical and pragmatic - there just aren't a vast array of airsoft guns perfectly applicable to the date and scenario.
So, the general principle is that the allies have a preponderance of bolt action weapons and the invading German forces being on a raiding mission carry compact automatic arms. If you cannot own, beg or borrow a listed firearm then what you have is perfectly acceptable, as long as it is of the WW2 period.
