War Reinacting
I cant figure out how the reinactors get the Kar98 to work(its not quite as good with the real bullets). D they use Duds or training rounds?
And is the weapons Original?
Cause its not allowed to make the Rifles and MP38 with the Reich eagle, is it?

I don't see what would be the problem with making an accurate reproduction. I don't know if the design of the weapon is copyrighted, but I doubt it. Therefore, the only illegal thing would be to sell it as an original (if you buy one as an original, and you are in good faith, legally the dealer must give you a real one in exchange for the repro).
Of course, if symbols are represented that are illegal to reproduce in certain countries, the weapons can't be sold here...
It is possible at least some of them are originals. After all, the weapons are quite robust (they'd have to be ). Compared to some of the groups buying original German tank the prices aren't really that high either...

Reenacting
Kar 98s, G43s. MP40s, StG44s, MG34s, and MG42s all can run on blanks if adapted properly. Kar 98ss and G43sneed no adopting, while the rest need either new gas tubes or a muzzle nut to increase the blowback pressure.
Here in the United States you can find many reenacting groups where all of these weapons are common. For the most part all shoot crimped 8mm, 8mm short, or 9mm parabellum blanks. They sound, for the most part, like a real gun. Perhaps a tad weaker though.
