Sniper is an unknown quantity at this point

Erich and mp38, check my post just before Kai's rocket pictures.

The Luftfaust was also called the Fleigerfaust, and my sources say it had nine barrels.

I've found a small picture in I. V. Hoggs "German Secret Weapons of WW2" published in 1970 but it's not too clear whether it has 7 or 9 barrels. I have seen another picture of the weapon taken from the same source as in his book, possibly a training manual, and I'll see if I can find it. That's the problem with having too many books, you know you've seen it somewhere but you just can't find it!!

I've got a scanner but how do I get a picture on the Forums??
