Was the MG 34 WWI version? What were the WWII MG's?
|
I don't believe that the MG34 was around during WWI; most of the machine guns at that time were of the heavy, crew served type.

Where on earth did that guy with the Sturmghewehr find ammo for it? I have always understood that that short 8mm round was about as rare as hen's teeth.

Probably hand rolled his own.....IIRC, the base of the 7.92x33 was the same as the 8mm mauser, so cutting down cases and reforming them shouldn't be too much of a challenge. I'm interested in where he is finding bullets; Speer used to make a 125 grain .323 bullet for the 8 x 57 mauser, but I think that it's been out of production for a while.

We held our annual Battle of the Bulge military rifle match today at a local gun club. Despite cold temperatures and snow, we had a number of shooters show up in costume.

How did you hold this "match"? You didn't pit the Germans against the Allies, did you?
Did any interesting sidearms show up, such as Radoms, Nazi marked Hi-powers, Lugers, ect?
