We didn't get ear protection in the British
Army until 1971.........fact, small useless plastic plugs in a pastic container we tied tto ourt epaulettes on our smocks as they were always needed to hand, especially with the ring of the SLR, worse than a Sunday morning bells ringing at our local church.

anti-tank cartridges 1939
my photo shows the 7,92x57, Polish 7,92x107 and German
7,92x94.
It was said that the Polish 7,92x107 would penetrate the early Panzer tanks
I though III
Later with captured Polish 7,92x107, the Germans removed the bullets and loaded
them in the 7,92x94Attachment 116345

Maschinengewehr des Standschützen Hellriegel 1915.
Likely it was only the one ever made, and it no longer exists.
Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

What a mess those were while they were trying to design things at first. Even the Thompson started with a belt feed mechanism.
