Re: WWII Weapons
German Weapons A Walther P-38 and a MP-43 It fired a less powerful cartridge and had a lighter recoil as a result. However, Hitler, still thinking that troops needed a weapon capable of firing 2000 yards, ordered that production of the weapon not start. The German arms minister, however, knew the need of the new weapon, and changed the name to "Machine Pistol", which is what the Germans called their submachine guns like the US Thompson .45 cal. The trick worked and the weapon went into production at three factories and German troops all over the Eastern Front were clamouring for the new weapon. The whole affair was blown" when a few divisional commanders asked Hitler at a conference when they would get the new weapon. Hitler was furious and ordered an investigation. Luckily for the men that had disobeyed the Fuehrer, the results of the investigation were so encouraging about the new weapon that Hitler changed his mind and announced that henceforward the weapon would be called "Sturmgewehr" or Assault Rifle. This was the world's first ever assault rifle.  ·  · |

Re: WWII Weapons
Yes those most feared of them all indeed, this weapon was so terrifying because of its deadliness, american troops were trained not to assault an mg 42 directly and to wait for the pause in reloading to even think about a frontal assault.... the predecesor to the US's M240 yea we copied the blueprints and we still use that machine gun in today's war against terror!

Re: WWII Weapons
Actually, the Thompson is not the Model 1928A1 but the M1A1 - notice it is a side-cocker (no bolt knob on the top), can only take stick, not drum magazines, has horizontal fore-end and the cheap-o sights. Still very effective - you do NOT want to get in front of one.
