True. But let's be fair: If I own an eighty year-old rifle, it isn't going into the mud. If I spend what one of these guys spends on the costume and web gear, the same applies. They can do it in Hollywood with the rubber rifles and costumes because they are just tools of the trade. Drive it like it is rented. But private individuals? Mmmmm...

Yeah, when I wore the uniform (Civil Air Patrol) is was a constant struggle to keep things sharp. A day of something as light duty as marshaling planes at the airfield for search and rescue mucked stuff up.
