Im just wondering what Kit WWII is still being used by the US military today.
in the UK - to give you an idea:
The M1919 variants are still in use
the Browning 1911 is still in use.
Chieftains are only just being phased out of beach recovery I think.
SeriesIII Landrovers are still seen on the end of Runways around the place.
trying to move the thread on from libertariansim now!
All i knew was that the 1911 was still in use by the US Army, at least until being decommissioned in 1980 or some time arond there
You mean the M2 Brownings? I thought we’d phased out the .30 cal M1919 variants a very long time ago.
The Browning model to which you refer is the GP35, not the Colt M1911
Do some units still have LMGs?
The British Chieftain tank was used during WW2?
I think he means Centurions.
SAM, a (very) updated Cent is still in use in the SANDF, ie the Olifant. Bloody good panzer that !
It’s a shame that “da guv’munt” frittered away so much dosh and the Olifant 2b became a test bed for Armscor, else they’d have had probably the most modern MBT on the continent.
PzKpfw VI Tiger, the 1911A1 has remained in use by certain elements within the US forces to this day.
Not US but Brit Mil
Im talking of the good old Mess Tins - How long have they been inservice?
I got a set issued to me once with “1940 & War Office” stamped on the bottom
Ive just gone to check some of mine, still in the wrapper - 1952.
I did indeed mean centurion,
Without a turret something looking like a submarine conning tower off the top of it, I saw one on the beaches down near Poole - I think.
my country still has some old aircrafts from 1982
Bluff, did you mean something like this: http://www.witham-sv.com/infopage.php?ID=361&Overide=1
Mentioned in Another Place earlier today so I thought I’d post it here.
Lancaster, spitfire and hurricane. There is also a ship still in service that is 200 years old.
No 8 rifle
The 30 Browning’s were still in use at Brecon by the demo troops for enemy fire.
25 pdrs as saluting guns
18 pdrs king troop
The 5.5 howitzers were still in service at Larkhill as effects guns till the ammo ran out in mid 90 I think.
Last time I was in Boscome and Winterbourne Gunner the hunter was still in service.
Must not forget the Canberra.
The Wachbattalion of the Bundeswehr still uses 98k for rifle drill.
The MG42 soldiers on as the MG3 in 7,62 Nato.
The P38 (P1) is just currently being replaced as the Bundeswehr standard sidearm.
