Small arms & artillery Q & A (Medium level)

[Panzerknacker]

All right, a section for the small arms and big guns lovers, the same directives as the others two.

[Panzerknacker]

What this ?

[tankgeezer]

Owen machine carbine.

[Panzerknacker]

Very good Tankgeezer , is that autralian gun.

Next:

[Drake]

Hmm, maybe 257 Roberts Rifle

[tankgeezer]

1905 Ross .303 Brit, made or used by Canada, and was used by the U.S. for training.

[Rising Sun*]

Owen machine carbine.

Technically correct, but I've never understood how an SMG got to be designated as a carbine.

[Man of Stoat]

R. S., this was simply British nomenclature. It is a carbine (because it is shoulder fired and has a short barrel), it goes rock and roll, hence "machine", hence "machine carbine".

Thanks.

I've always understood the derivation of carbine to be from the shorter longarms developed for cavalry from infantry weapons, and assumed it would be applied to WWII weapons in the same way. Such as the Lee Enfield .303 jungle carbine.

[Panzerknacker]

Very Good TG.:)

next one:

Wich pistol?

[Drake]

Sauer 38, at least that's what it states in the name of the picture :D

[Panzerknacker]

Well, The next time I will try to change the name before the uploading, anyway that is correct. :rolleyes:

[Drake]

Gustloff Volksgewehr 1-5, used by the Volkssturm in 1945, nice trick, renaming it mp43 :D

[Panzerknacker]

Correct (too easy).

Pistol....

[Dani]

Well well tankgeezer's got one :D:D

[RifleMan20]

Astra 400's, cant tell if they are the Republica Espanola version though. Everyone needs to really pay attention to these questions,as they are very detailed, and require stern concentration to answer correctly. we can't afford any distractions.

.................................................. .....................uh is this a distraction.......................if so distracted I am :shock:

[RifleMan20]

you know its a good addition

[Dani]

you know its a good addition
Well it's up to PK.
He stated very clear. You could see anyway his motto on his sig "Ordnung über alles !!" So take care buddy! :)

[Dani]

All right, back on-topic and please stick to it.

[Panzerknacker]

Sorry TG but I have to erase that...big thing.

By the way you are almost correct but not quite, that pistol had another name.

[tankgeezer]

Thats okay P.K. I only know the pistol as a 400, they are popular here because of the fairly cheap surplus 9mm largo ammo.

[tankgeezer]

Since no one has offered another answer, I'll say they are the modelo 1921 pistols.

[Panzerknacker]

Actually is the "Francisco Ascaso" a variant made in Barcelona named after an anarchist leader killed in action in the early days of SCW.

Let s try with this piece:

[tankgeezer]

Try as I might,, I cant help but learn something new...:)

[Panzerknacker]

Hmmm, that artillery piece dint work. :twisted:

Try this:

[RifleMan20]

it kind of looks like a FG42

[Panzerknacker]

Hmmm, it is not.

[Drake]

I'd say MG34

[Panzerknacker]

Close , but still isnt.

[Drake]

Do you count the 34/41 still as a 34 or would those subtypes qualify as extra?

[Drake]

Anyway I'll just jump back in time rather than forward, MG30

[Panzerknacker]

Correct. :rolleyes:

New.

[Drake]

VIS-35 Radom

[Panzerknacker]

My point from the panzer Q&A is probably missing, which would make 2 with this one, cause I had six already this morning, when I answered here ;)

[Drake]

Avs-36

[Panzerknacker]
