Major Countries Weaponry Web Site
Ovideo's Post,
Reminded me of a Web Site I came across that lists most every War time country and their Weapons. I don't know how accurate it is but the link is below.
I was reading a random search result about the Johnson M. 1941 Light Machine Gun a few days back.
It read:
"Built by Johnson to partner the M1941 rifle, the M1941 light machine gun used the same recoil operation, it was fed by a side mounted curved magazine which could hold 20 rounds. Dutch KNIL Forces ordered the Johnson in 1941, but they got overran before the shipment could be made, the remaining stocks were used by US Special Forces, 127 saw action in Italy with the Devils Brigade."
But more interesting was a link I followed that lists most Armies you've heard of.
Once on the Web Site a drop box below the Countries opens to list that Countries':
AFV's, Artillery, Companies, Divisions, Infantry Weapons, Support Vehicles, Regiments, Brigades and Groups, Tanks.... as they pertain from the period 1920-1950.
The Site is called: 'Quartermaster Section'
I'm finding it informative with some great pictures and hope anyone interested also finds it interesting.
Web Site Link:
Quartermaster Section | WW2 Tanks & Weapons Specifications
Here's the example of the US INFANTRY WEAPONS. There is a Filter on the left where you can choose ALL, WEAPONS or SUPPORT WEAPONS. I use the ALL Option, so everything is included. Remember you can use the drop box under any country listed.
Search results for US INFANTRY WEAPONS with Filter clicked on ALL:
US Infantry Weapons Featured in WW2 – Quartermaster Section
I'd be interested in opinions on this Web Sites Accuracy from those better schooled about other Countries Weaponry or about the Site itself.
Thx :cheers:
