No, it's intended use was as a rifle and not a squad automatic (different roles). It falls into the same category as the M1 Garand, G41-43...
The info on the MG's looks good for the rate of fire and for tripod use. Max range when used with just the bipod would be much less due to issues...
Why would Hitler offer Britain terms that Germany didn't have to entertain in 1941, given the then current military situation? If Hitler is...
I have to say...."How Germany could've won?" could be argued that they had already won at the conclusion of the campaign in France 1940 (assuming...
The long term prospects of a Soviet invasion of the West were not very good at all. Industrially they were pretty much on par with the Germans of...
I would believe that Soviet success in a scenario like this is based upon massive preperation and the ability to effectively conceal it. The West...
Did you actually read the pages in the link I provided? It clearly stated the huge hurdles the Soviets would have to overcome in order to launch...
Suggest you start here at pg 281 Soviet military policy: an ... - Google Books You would have to build a perfect "what if" for the Soviets to be...
Try travelling east, you won't find the Illuminati but you may find that the idea of a grand scheme of a few priveldeged men isn't whats going on....
I would say May/June of 1947 due to the total unpreparedness of the US Army at that time. NATO was not yet formed, the US Armed forces had pretty...
I have to say that anyone claiming the K98's sights are better that those on the M1 Garand is not very well informed or experienced. I'm a very...
Hi TA, I appreciate the comments. However we do diverge on a few points: True the IJA deployed only the 23rd Infantry Div there, but that was...
I agree with the assertion that Siberia was indeed resource rich and very valuable to both the Soviet Union and Japan. I don't support the idea...
Ideas and plans from the "Hokushin-Ron" Northern Strategy faction withing the Japanese hierarchy. "Detailed planning of Japanese operations...
Good points, but I don't think a fundamental reallocation of the Japanese military's industrial effort was necessary. Like I mentioned...
Nice vid.
The Japanese had close to 3,000 Type 95 and Type 97 tanks in their inventory so I don't think its a stretch to say that they could mass around 700...
Declaring war on the US directly after Barbarossa failed didnt exactly help their long term prospects for success.
For WWII aircraft the Smithsonian in Washington DC (Silver Hill) is a must see. For Armor I recommend the Patton Museum in FT Knox, I wouldn't...
I guess if we go back and assume the whole Balkans Campaign never happens that there could be significant effect upon Barbarossa. That would mean...
