What does the German Landser, if he has no more ammunition for his K98.
Of course, the German Landser also knows how to help here. Quite simply, he uses booty ammunition.
True or not?
I look forward to their opinions :)

K98 used the famous 8mm AFAIK. the captured 98 pattern rifles from other countries were 8mm as well. 2d and 3d echelon troops could have been issued rifles

in 8mm Lebel, 6.5 Italian, 7.5 French or even 7.62 Rimmed Russian. Have seen photos of TR troops with US small arms as well

Hanau, March 1945.

The US Army captured the barracks in Hanau a few hours ago and there are serious but short fights in the Hanau Forest.

A single soldier is abseitz in the forest. The US soldiers are on the track. He only has a few Belgian cartridges left. The significantly shorter than the 8 x 57 IS.

He loads and shoots ......

Possible or not possible?

Everything just history? :)

The shooter in the Hanau Forest shoots 7 times before he is likely to be hit himself.
The US soldiers can reach the position of the soldier.
Unload his weapon and continue firing from this position.
70 years later I follow a 30/06 sleeve track across the forest with my MD.
Which brings me to the position where I find these bloated pods.
Incidentally just as bloated as the title to my topic: D
But you have to hold it also to the inclined reader.
To make a bit exciting.
On display are Belgian sleeves with the identification FN 40.
With the 3 not missed (today decoration) is clearly a strike on the primer to see.
This usually arises in older weapons.
Or where I have always seen it, in the M16 rifles of the US Army.
That's also the point where I'm still wondering if it's a rifle 43 true.
This is automatic and has 10 shots.
Greeting AB45
