RattlesnakeBob Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) in the first pic is ( ?) a relatively rare/late war version of the Browning .30 calibre converted to the more 'portable' light machine gun role...(they bodged a wooden butt and a front stand on it !)........I don't think there were many of those made/issued?..... ...As I understand it.... it was an attempt to make the .30 cal easier to use in the field (after the Americans had got the idea off the MG34/MG42 ).... rather than having to lug the tripod stand about and thereby needing a minimum of a 2 man crew.... A cracking old picture !.PS: also.....whats the differance between the 2 M1 Garands on the left??? ...apart from the obvious length that is?.. ..I didn't realise there were different models made or...am I completely wrong and one of them isn't a M1 Garand?????

The longer one just has a grenade launcher under the muzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
