Sar1n,
It's still a no go for me to give you any rep right now. I guess I'll just go out a rep some random posters.
Cheers
Artillery brings dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl!
Yes, the pictures of the PTRD 41 I saw didn't look exactly like the picture, but I noticed that some of the PTRD 41 look different from others and some more closely resembled your photo. I thought it might be variant of the PTRD 41 I hadn't seen.
It does look more like the German Granatbuchse GrB-39 Antitank Rifle,. .

That's because it is GrB 39.
GrB 39 is an interesting case of repurposing obsolete weapons. Early in war, standard German infantry anti-tank weapon was PzB 39 anti-tank rifle. However as war progressed, anti-tank rifles became obsolete. So all remaining PzB 39 were modified, starting in 1942, by cutting down the barrel, attaching a grenade launching cup and adding a few other modifications, creating a grenade launcher, the GrB 39.
Your turn.
Can you chose for me? I can't think of anything.
Found it. It's some obscure german prototype aircraft. The Akaflieg Stuttgart FS-28 Avispa.

As requested. Something Good.

Are you asking about the flashlight or the gun?
The gun looks like a Sig Sauer P226, but what appears to be a custom color.
The flashlight is obviously TLR-1 HL.
Is it just me or does the flashlight not match the color? I really don't like the color, it looks like a toy.
Edit: I looked up Sig Sauer P226 beige, thinking that it was a specific model. But it turns out it is the "Legion Grey". For some reason the "Legion Grey" also comes in different colors. I thought maybe the Legion was one used by the Navy Seals or some part of the army but it seems like Legion is just a commercial model. Not really sure what the difference is other than minor specs.
You are quite right Oda. It is a Sig 226. It is one hell of a gun. And you don't mind the color so much when you spend $200 less cause the guy you bought it from didn't like the trigger pull. Neither did I but for $50 and a trip to the gunsmith I solved that.
You go.

It wasn't too hard when I realized that I've seen a lot of Sig Sauers usually used by cops. Though minor details really threw me off, the color being one and that Lambda type of symbol being another.
I got an Italian vibe from it, and turned out my instincts were spot on.
SPA-Viberti AS.42. Italian desert reconnaissance car developed from AB 41 armoured car.
Somehow, everyone forgot about this. Okay....since I'm sure I'm right-the image is just flipped image from wikipedia-I'll post the next.
It's easy, so....no hints, and I want the specific model name.
is it the B17 XB-38 prototype? Those enginges.look to be water cooled ones instead of air cooled, and plane looks like a prototype craft
Yep. XB-38, a single B-17E converted to use Allison V-1710 engines. Not a success.
Can't rep you right now...but it's still your turn.
