Thanks, the Japanese soldiers were helpful Interesting page here about overvalwagens - http://www.overvalwagen.com/overval2.html

Offhand, it looks like Renault FT-17.

[Sicknero]

I was hoping someone would say that. Nope

There are a couple of visible differences.

[Jagdpanzer]

Yeah. but that's not the standard gun for a FT-17.

[Sar1n]

FT-17 had a few copies and variants, yeah I noticed the gun but was kinda hoping that it's just an unusual shroud.

A little poking revealed a US copy M1917.

[Sicknero]

That's the one Sar1n M1917 6-tonner. The main visible differences are the exhaust on the left instead of the right, a different mantlet and mods to the frontal armour and driver's slits. Wiki claims that the US driver's slit was raised by 4" because of the average height of drivers being different. No idea how true that is.

There are internal differences too and a lot of re-engineering done to suit the American metric system.

I'll go easy on you....

Who'll get a cookie for this?

[agunter999]

Right so it is a German WWII plane
Late war?

[Sar1n]

Early. Prototype first flew before the war.

focke wulf 187

[Colossus]

Focke-Wulf Fw 187.

Edit: too slow

[Sar1n]

I said it'll be easy. It's FW 187 indeed, one of best planes never accepted into serial production. Have a cookie...

Instant Focke Wulf recognition, after the prototype hint it was easy, thanks for the cookie

[Sar1n]

That one took some digging, but it is Kriegsmarine double-barreled flare gun, Sternsignalpistole Doppelschussmodel (SLD) manufactured by Walther. Here's another picture of it, along with single barrel version.

[Luger]

Indeed, +rep and your turn

[Sar1n]

Thanks. We'll stay in a personal weaponry area for a bit...

Another, hopefully quite easy one.

[Luger]

Rifle No.9 Mk1

[Sar1n]

Another cookie for you.

EM-2, or Rifle no.9 Mk1, also known as Janson rifle, was British assault rifle designed shortly after WWII. It was briefly adopted by British Army, but was withdrawn from service because its .280 caliber was not accepted as standard by NATO. The basic design was much later used for SA-80 family of small arms.

I think might pass another few rounds so others can get some cookies too

Edit: can't rep yet, I'll give you the cookie later.
