Great art work again,my friend. The S&W 1917 and the Winchester 1897 are especially well drawn,with proper proportion and realistic texture.

In the 1930s police forces needed a weapon that would defeat well-armed bandits and Colt came up with the Monitor, based on the BAR but handier to use: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/oβ¦

Clyde of Bonnie and Clyde stole a Browning automatic rifle from a National Guard Armory. he took the gun and sought off the barrel he took the gun and sawed off the barrel and butt. He liked it because it could shoot through the old metal cars of the era. Unfortunately for him when he and Bonnie got gunned down by state troopers, they not only used tommy guns but Browning automatic rifles as well.

Colt also made a shortened BAR for civilian use and called it the "Monitor":upload.wikimedia.org/wikipediaβ¦

Wow, I didn't know it, what a strange suppressor (or hider is better?)

It is called a Cutts Compensator and was a more complex version of the muzzlebrake fitted to Thompson submachine guns. It supposedly worked very well but there was a lot of side blast. One of these weapons was used in the capture (or murder) of Bonnie & Clyde.

We liked to call the M1909 "daylight gun" due to its difficulty reloading at night.

You are most welcome^^, have you any plans of drawing a Finnish soldier sometime?!

It may seem strange, but we've already tried more than once, with very poor results, I can not understand why.

Really? Have you uploaded those works? Come on, you are a very skilled artist, the result couldn't really be poor, maybe they just don't fulfill your expectations.

No I haven't, Β I'll try again!

I'm looking forward to see them, after all the Finnish has fought very heroic against the Soviets!

Very though indeed, in a devilish climate too!

Couldn't agree more, the cold could be deadly!

In Abruzzo I met two Alpine of the Julia Division who lost all his toes in Russia.

You mean he lost his toes due to freezing temperatures?! X( Man, that's rough!
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yes, terrible, I knew two of them, they lost their toes in the same way: Β after a march in the snow, during the retreat from Russia, they entered in a russian isba, then they removed the boots, the feet swelled up, and they couldn't put on the boots anymore, so they had to wrap the feet with Β swaddles.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's indeed terrible, without toes the feets are practically useless, one can't even hold his balance 
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yes, they walked with the help of two walking stick. Β The cold of Russia is really a hell in earth.

Lol, yeah that ain't easy, a hell that kinda saved Russians in WWII

This is incredible! It was a great rifle, it armed the Israeli Army too.

Colt 1911, almost every American semi-auto pistol is based on this: talk about success

It was the top, Browning was the Edison of the weapons.

Very interesting as always! I wonder how their "Montana Peak" came to be associated with the Boy Scouts? I even had one!
π: 0 β©: 2
Β the Boy Scouts originated during 1914 and somewhat copied the US Army. I believe the Montana Peak campaign hat design came about sometime during the 19th century but was not adopted as a US military hat until 1912. the Spanish-American War e r a campaign hat is more of a cowboy hat and not a Montana Peak.
