That's like putting on the evening news channel and watching combat footage from the middle east. No armorer or propmaster or artist had anything to do with that. Just like those reality TV shows like COPS. We don't document what the departments use. It falls outside of the scope of IMFDB.

Reenactments themselves don't make a title qualify for inclusion. If so then we would be putting in all those History channel historical shows that had reenactments in them, like "Tales of the Gun" or "Western Tech" or "M3", etc. etc.
Sums up my opinion on the matter.
