    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 - but then again, everything else in this category is , a battlefield that's not a field; sinks; deep; fish fight emoji....

    (here it is again since we've flipped the page)

    TGC in order to continue its development seak one or more desicated scripters to put our campaign scripts mess to an order plus to create new events and create the finall missing factions recruitment system. In return TGC will give permision to those that will help to use its material stepe by step. The result will be a fully released TGC plus many mods that will benefit TGC's material.
    Despite the mod is dead does not mean that anyone can use its material

    Not according to wikipedia. (Chropi Rifle)
    Also it was chambered for the 7.62×39mm cartridge (Soviet), not the 7.62×51mm NATO.
    A very strange choice, as if the Chropei company were trying to make sure their bid would be rejected.

    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 whichever AAR production license was eventually purchased. Further, Soviet cartridges are a lucrative market in the middle east and Greece is ideally placed to service that market. A way for Choprei to double down? ... or am I just too cynical.

    It makes sense in a "wishful thinking" on the part of the company sort of way.
    The EVO industries had already been set up.
    It's not like the government would let that sit idle.
    If Chropei had been awarded the contract it would have been the EVO to produce the rifle.
    Business wise, competitive advantages for exports are -more frequently than not- built on top of economies of scale already created by domestic market success.

    I'll pop it then.

    Canon d'Infanterie de 37 modèle 1916 TRP. A French light 37mm gun used for close infantry support during WWI and early WWII.

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

    It was common, but rather less than spectacular. While its main purpose was to destroy machine gun nests and light fortifications on battlefield, it was hampered by the low mobility, being crew served weapon, low range due to low muzzle velocity, and the limited lethality of the small projectile. However, it was successfully employed as aircraft armament on SPAD S.XII, and as main weapon of first US tanks-M1917, a licence-built version of Renault FT.

    And here's today's picture:
