Hardcore Heroes, Episode 3: Warriors on the Frontlines
 

Last summer I was fortunate enough to be an extra as a SEAL in a film about Vietnam hero Drew Dix. The owner of the Vietnairn Field(Machelko) also had his jeep used in it, he's driving while I get to work the .50 cal.

Russian soldier Viktor Leonov's story is also in this episode and I know a bunch of the guys from the airsoft community were extras in that WWII filming.

So pass it on to those who may be interested.

It airs January 20, promo video below.

Thanks for sharing mate! Wish I got to join you or my comrades in the fun, alas.

Yup, our episode airs tonight. 3 members of the Ontario ww2 reenacting community were in it, including two from my outfit, FJR 5. They had us decked out in SS gack for this one. Hope it turns out OK.

Very cool, I'll be watching both. I'm the .50 gunner in the jeep and the owner of Vietnairn field is driving :D

Actually got to see myself in a few shots, none firing the MG-42 though :-(
they did use a shot where I'm dying in the bottom of the frame about 8-10 times though lol

I watched Hardcore Hero's last night. Really good episode, and amazing the things some people have done in war. Cool to hear you were in it!
