They got a mix of things, mostly Chinese, North Korean and some Russian things that China got and then passed it to Vietnam.
They also had lots of french things like MAS-36 and 49. various revolvers.... i dont know really.

Ten cookies to the croissant in space! It was kind of a trick question, because it's actually an MP 43, but you can't tell from the photo... plus, MP 43s and StG 44s are basically the same thing anyway. The FSA has captured around 5000 of them from the SAA... logistically, they must be a real pain in the ass, because I can't imagine they have 7.92 Mauser in abundance!

Did they really made a lighter version of pak40? i think it misses the lateral shields!

Nah, I think the shield just looks smaller from this angle. Also see how the tires have somehow been removed, and everything's in disarray... is that a snow-covered corpse in the center there?

@drummer93 wait, the Italians had guns in WW2?
Click to expand...

haha yes, and they had some good guns. I like a lot the Carcano rifles. Casually this guy made a video about it a couple of month ago. It has an interesting system to expulse the used clip:


Another gun that I like too much is the Breda M30, not because is a good gun, but because the load system is exotic. Anyway, it had problems


The cannon you see in the first picture is the "Cannone da 47/32 M35". It had a good HE capacity, but it hasn't a good anti-tank performance when the war advanced

Yeah, Italian weaponry wasn't famed for its reliability, but in terms of performance it was actually pretty damn good. The Carcano, for example, is actually an excellent rifle.

Italians and the Italian campaign are second only to the battle of France for me in TW. I mean, imagine a TW Breda 30 :eek:
