Identify that Tank/Ship/Plane/Artillery etc

Not an Arado (this is earlier), not gliding and not a bomb - but your speculations are well within the ball-park.

Oh well, it comes close enough to a man-guided suicide craft when it's unarmed, at least seems to barely fit more than the pilot and the "engine", and has a solid fuel rocket strapped to its back.

It was the first liquid fuel rocket - but it was certainly close enough to a bomb for me to pay up - so rep to you. As you rightly observe, it was just big enough for the pilot, fuel and engine.

This shouldn't be too difficult:




Could somebody rep me too please

[Basileos Leandros I]

That's the funkiest looking Mosin-Nagant I've seen. What's with the enlarged barrel?

Heck, it looks like a Mosin-Nagant at least...

[Zajuts149]

Repped.

[Aymer de Valence]

Not a Mosin-Nagant and thanks Zajuts

[Basileos Leandros I]

Yeah, it took me some time to figure it's some sort of anti-tank rifle, judging by the barrel and the tripod.

Pre-WW2 rifle anyway.

Elephant Gun

[Aymer de Valence]

Nope


Ok hint its WW1

[agunter999]

Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr

[Aymer de Valence]

Yep, the first anti-tank rifle. 15,000 were produced and it was initially effective before the Entente started to bring out more heavily armoured tanks. A gunner could only fire off 3 rounds before having to switch out due to it's massive recoil. Your turn!

[agunter999]

Good Luck

[Aymer de Valence]

Type 99 Arisaka?

One of the "last ditch" types maybe as there doesn't seem to be a butt plate and the metal band holding it together near the front seems pretty shoddy (don't know the official name)

[Spear Dog]

Looks a lot like a Springfield 1903 A3, but the breech isn't quite right. Is it a re-activated conversion?

[agunter999]

Both of you are right in the sense that it is a rifle but no otherwise

[Basileos Leandros I]

It's a Mauser, because it looks very similar to the Mauser Gewehr from a couple of posts up. (look at the bolt and the stock)

But what kind of Mauser, I have no clue.

[Markas]

vz. 24? (Czech Mauser derivative)

[Hawk_345]

I agree, I am pretty sure its one of the Czech variants of the K98

[Spear Dog]

The 'Swedish Mauser'; Husqvarna m96 minus the bayonet lug and stock badge?

[agunter999]

Well this is indeed a Mauser, it is not Czech at all. This is not quite a Swedish mauser however you are so INCREDIBLY close (It is virtually the same as a Swedish mauser so well done )
