A little of everything in that crowd isn't there? French Mas, M1, MG42... What's that next to the camera? Not an STG...? Looks like a Sig 510/stg57.

[Bill Hollinger]

Thanks Jim, that one stumped me

[browningautorifle]

My problem Bill is the timeframe. This can't be WW2, the M1 went everywhere as LL. I'm wondering what end '50's conflagration this could be? Where? The tank looks like a Walker Bulldog...

'73 Chile ?

[browningautorifle]

Welcome to the forum, Chile, yes maybe. I can't say.

the winner is RCNNANMAN

A scene from the 1973 Chilean coup; tanks and soldiers take up positions around the presidential palace, before bombarding it.

Looks like a FAL (towards the left, below the SIG) may be there as well.
