It was actually a 'simulated' battle between Ally and Axis forces. It is held yearly here in the UK at Longmoor Military Base in their Urban training area. We actually get permission from the MOD for this. It was great, if a bit expensive for the day (about £75).

The weapons that were available from the armorer that was onsite were:
MP45
Mauser K98 (I think but there were multiple calibers)
Thompson
M1-Garand
M1
Sten-gun

and a .50 cal HMG and MG42!!!! I have no idea how much rounds and the weapon would cost for the day, but it was cool to see the 2 man teams carrying them around!

I've got some pics that we took if anyone is interested, I'll try to post them...
