Small arms & artillery Q & A (Medium level)

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

What this ?

Owen machine carbine.

Very good Tankgeezer , is that autralian gun.

Next:

mauser 7x57.jpg

Hmm, maybe 257 Roberts Rifle

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

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

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”.

MOS

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.

Very Good TG.:slight_smile:

next one:

Wich pistol?

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

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

Correct (too easy).

Pistol…

Looks surprisingly like a Ballester Molina 45 ACP.

They were made somewhere in South America. :smiley:

That must be the very rare white stripe model,:slight_smile:
