:oops:
Dani please be my guest and post a question?
No way sir! 
It was your fault and you have to repair it (No offense intended!)
So I look forward for your next question.
Sir yes Sir!
Here it is:
Who was the man known as Devil of Rabaul ?
Hiroyoshi Nishizawa
Indeed he was!
Hiroyoshi Nishizawa remains Japan’s “Naval Ace of Aces”. Known as the “Devil of Rabaul”. Has been credited with well over 100 aerial victories by some sources and would then qualify as Japan’s all-time “Ace of Aces”. Formed part of the Tainan Ku’s world famous “Ace Trio” along with Toshio Ohta and Saburo Sakai. Destroyed six Grumman F4F Wildcats over Guadalcanal on November 2, 1942. With the 203rd Ku, Nishizawa’s flight of four Zeros escorted five other bomb-laden Zeros in the IJNAF’s first official suicidal “Kamikaze” attack, destroying two of 20 intercepting Grumman F6F Hellcats on the mission of October 25, 1944 - The very next day of October 26th, Nishizawa was killed while a passenger on a Nakajima Ki.49 Donryu “Helen” Army Bomber transport aircraft that was shot down by intercepting Hellcats of VF-14 from the USS WASP. Funeral services for Nishizawa were delayed until December 2, 1947.

I’m afraid that Tsolias is right!
It is the same submachine gun!!
Is it the Finnish one? Dont know the name!
Quoted from the site posted earlier:
THE GERMAN 7.65 mm and 9.00 mm MP/18-1 BERGMANN MACHINEPISTOL
The designer Hugo Schmeisser, working in Theodor-Bergmann arms factory invented in 1916 a new type of weapon, the MP/18-1 machinepistol, which were developed for the German Army until 1918. Because of the Versailles peace treaty the Germans had to end their machine pistol manufacturing.
In 1920 Bergmann sold his machinepistol license to SIG-arms, which is still a Swiss arms manufacturing company. SIG started to sell it in different calibers with small improvements.
The Finnish Civil Guard ordered, in 1921, 1 000 SMG’s. By 1932 the Civil Guard had 1 415 Bergmanns.
Until 1939, the Bergmanns were used for training by the Civil Guard. A few dozen were converted to 9 mm for test purposes.
In Winter War, the Bergmanns were issued to infantry combat units. In the “Continuation War” 1941 - 44, these weapons were first held by coastal forces, but were later returned due to rare caliber, to the Home Front.

It was used by the Finish Army during Winter War.
eh what the hell, seems like someone copied someone
I was looking for the British WWII Lanchester SMG. wait… someone did copy!!!
From Wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanchester_SMG
With no time to spare for the development of a new weapon it was decided to adopt a direct copy of the German MP28, examples of which were at hand for the necessary copying.
hehehe, so looks as if I picked a bad gun for a quiz sorry, should of done more research :oops:
well heres a pic of the Mp-28
edited to include picture.
OK S.A.M ask again or give us the winner.
:evil:
hehehe, ok.
Who is considered the father of the tank?
btw Tsolias, I sent you a Privat message.
Shattuck?
I think Roebling Family they are build first tank.
Yes they did the first ampivious (spel?) .
Mr Tritton?
Ok
Reference SAM’s question, the SMG pictured was indeed the Lanchester.
There are a number of differences to the Bergmann, the most noticeable being the brass mag housing, the Enfield bayonet mount, the protected front sight and the typically Enfield butt.
One could argue that they are the same, but then all blowback SMGs will therefore be Bergmanns !
