repped, cool gun by the way - steam punk all the way :punk:

I'll be back at some stage, my laptop's down and I usually do these forums on it, in the evening while watching TV. Just checking in - I'll go have a look at Sar1n's plane.

Sorry for delay, I'm compulsively playing 'Forge of Empires' in all my online time these days. :tongue:

Yep, Fireant EFP tank killer. Wondered where you were paleologos, knew you'd find it when...

No, but very much of that era and may have been a parallel development with the SARGE. This one never really got beyond the proof of concept experimental stage.

I think it's a Luftwaffe Revi C12 D gunsight - looks to be usually installed top centre right of the control panel. Used in Stuka and fighters in general I think (didn't read too much about it).

Correct, a WW2 concept (light) rifle; and the big brother of the Whitney Wolverine pistol.

*spread some rep around so I could rep Gen.Brewster twice in the same day and went over the 24 hour...

Boeing XPB 2, the re-designated 1925 XPB 1 after a 1928 engine change to Pratt and Whitney R-1690 radials.

actually, (technically) it's a midget or mini-submarine. :whistling

Yep, looks like a deadly little unit, seen here used by the British, French and US.

a couple more photos of the same gun:

I understood it was never a serious bid, but more of an strategy by Choprei (a chemicals company) to tool up for weapons production, no doubt expecting to pick up the production contract for...

That's it, the Mk 90 nuclear depth charge, 'Betty'.

Well done, post something good. :) (btw, did you just get married?)

Nope. Thought there may have been a few more puzzlers out there, but maybe it's just not obvious what I've been doing with the clues. Time to lay it out I think:

Smaller then the Tsar Bomba -...

the clue is deep, but not profound.

....the thing about the clue is; it needs time to sink in. :eh: :fishfight

Clue: discontinued in 1960 (year before the Tsar Bomba test), imo it qualifies as a battlefield* weapon.

*although, it would never have been used on an actual field... :shifty:

No, smaller :tongue:

Ruger LCR snub nose .38 Special?

lol. :hunter:You worry me a little bit mad orc. :tongue:

Yes the Stinger, or the Tony Stein Stinger - who won a posthumous Medal of Honor for his feats with this reconstructed aircraft tail gun (an ANM2 30.0cal LMG). Wikipedia credits Stein with putting...

Got a bunch lined up for here :D, start with this one (not too rare obscure but needs esoteric knowledge):

There's a bit of a story behind this, so as much info as...

OK, I think I've got most of it. The object is a Type II VK canister, it contains a modified Schwarzlose machine gun; an M07/M12 firing 8mm rounds (modified both to reduce it's weight and deal...

hard :)

:eek: Wow, that has got to be the ultimate boy toy! :clap::drink:

Yes, correct. The MK.54 SADM (Special Atomic Demolition Munition) and a H-912 transport container. Deployed by a single specialist with a one man back-up, both parachuted directly into the key...

They're designated separately, but otherwise yes; one's the weapon and the other for transport.

Here's something that is new to me, but probably already know to some of you guys:

Don't need rep, but it's Sar1n's turn ;).

Isn't that the 1884 Maxim MG which pre-dates the partnership with Vickers?
