Germans:

--Assault Rifles:

Maschinenkarabiner 42 (H) MKb 42 (H))
Maschinenpistole 43 (MP 43)
Maschinenpistole 44 (MP 44)
Sturmgewehr 44 (StG 44)
Theese three weapons are really just one with different names and small modifications. The first version of StG-44 (i call this weapon like this) was the Maschinenkarabiner 42 (H). Later, in 1942. it was modified a little and now it was known as Maschinenpistole 43. MP-43 was mass-prthe oduced and in september it was accepted in the armament of Wehrmacht. In the 6. of april in 1944. the weapon got the name Maschinenpistole 44, but in october, because of political and propoganda calculations, it got it's final name - Sturmgewehr 44 (sturmgewehr - assault rifle).

Before i found out these facts, i was confused why this weapon is called different. I hope now it helped others too. :)

[Slava45]

Heavy machineguns:

M1910 Maxim machinegun (usually on wheeled Sokolov mounts)


Dont forget the DShk (12.7mm Krupnocalibernyj Pulemet Degtyareva-Shpagina)

DShK was used on wheeled universal mount, which was fitted with removable steel shield. This mount allowed for Anti-aircraft usage - for AA role wheels were removed and a mount "tail" was separated and formed a folding tripod.

And dont forget the ROKS-3 Flamethrower

[mcdarkness]

the pc 1000 rs a german armor piercing bomb

pc 1400 fx a german radio controlled glider bomb designed to attack allied ships

x4 guided missle carried only by the foke wolf 190 fighter but later planned to be used for the me262 and the do 335.

Does Denmark still have Madsen assualt rifles in its arsenal still? I liked how they look, but i think they stopped making them in the 60's.
