We like Latin it is so cultural!

My elder son is studying latin, it has a great charm, we don't use declination in italian, even than the words are often very similar to italian, the meaning of the phrases It is not always very clear.

In German we have many loanwords from Romanic languages, especially from French but usually you do not notice this words, because they are very deeply rooted in our language and many people do not know anymore, that they are loanwords.
For example the word Fenster, it means window and it comes form Latin.
We have no other word for that!
By the way, please forgive Us Our bad English skills.

It's funny, because my American friends think I've got a great knowledge of English because I use very unusual world, that they find just in dictionary, well, the fact is that I often use English world that come from French, by the Norman invader, while the American speaker use the world that come from Germanic languages

The English language confused Us always because it is a Germanic language and old English was basically not more as a German dialect. But since the Norman conquest it gives so much French loanwords in the English language, that We not understand, why this language is still classified as Germanic language.

Yes, it's funny because the French speakers invasors were Scandinavian too, like the Anglo-Saxon and the Jutes

I'll take the Colt M1911 since it has guaranteed killing power and an elegant design.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree, it's the masterpiece of the largest creator of modern firearms

I read that when officers in the Canadian Army were allowed to buy their own pistols, the M1911 was a popular choice. That Austrian Steyr M1912 is cool looking to.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It has a big stop power, .45 ACP is a great ammo.
The Steyr was a very good weapon, excellent materials and very accurate processing
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
even if the Luger was a better pistol.
I still think the C96 was a good and very iconic WW1 pistol.

It's funny because when I was drawing this table I though that several people would have complain for my choice, but it haven't happened since now, You're welcome
Yes, I agree, the C96 is very iconic, I choose the Luger because is my father favourite pistol.

I have the Type A Nambu, Luger (1916 dated), and I am thinking on buying the Glisenti M1910 soon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, a ww1 Luger and a Nambu! Are there any Glisenti on sale?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes there is!
The Luger and Nambu are great pistols too.

That's incredible!
I'm slowly doing them........

Nicely done sidearms my favorite is the Colt 1911. However some in the US Army were issued revolvers that fired the .45 round, I believe it was made by smith and wesson.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's my favourite too, a beautiful, sturdy and reliable sidearm, with great stopping power.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's that round that's almost half an inch in diameter, very good at stopping a target. I would get one myself but there expensive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I thought that there were so many on the market, perhaps the army has retained its stock?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You wouldn't believe what the army gets rid of.

I believe, 1 american over 150 is in the army, or in the Airforce or in the Navy, considering the reserve!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That may be true however the current state of the US military population wise is down to numbers that existed before World War 2. Before Americas entry into World War 2 The US military was about the size of Sweden's.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
An incredible number!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes but if you don't take into account that the US has world wide commitments, that number is fairly small then say The Russian or Chinese military.

gotta love the Webley- ugly but it hits like a ton of bricks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Almost a cannon, I dare not think the .45 ACP version
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Awesome references, thanks for the share! Oh boy, the stories you hear about Nambu pistols...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! It was really bad designed, and the steel was badly tempered.

Quite possibly one of the worst pistols of the 20th century. The sme could be said of any Arisaka rifles with a serial number over 95###, supposedly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It almost seems that they do not care much of their soldiers, and saw the careless use that made of them, perhaps ....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it had to do with the lack of materials required. In all fairness the Arisaka is a wonderful gun to shoot. It can make a really good hunting rifle, much like the Carcano or a Mauser.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it's so, lack of materials, Japan was embargoed for many years before the war, the design was good, the bolt was quite the same of the Mauser.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Cool! Though I take it this is the primary sidearms? I know there were "supplemental" sidearms too like the Colt M1917 and the Ruby pistol. Also some unofficial sidearms, I heard the Mauser C96 was popular with both sides.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are right
I think they are the ordnance's sidearm, but as you said officers often bought their own personal pistols, and the general staff bought lots of commercial weapons to satisfy the huge needing of them. German used the Dreyse, Italian the Beretta, Austrian the Frommer and the Roth Steyr, and so long.....

These looks so real! Always a master you are.

Thnk you very much, I was looking about materials and light, there's a kind of magic in trying to catch them.

I guess some modified models of FN 1910 ae still in use, i don't remember the names i'm more familiar with submachine guns
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes, it's an evergreen, one of the best and economic handgun, whit high standard of production.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I knew it, it looked very familiar!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
indeed, it had lots of Cameo in many films too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, i guess i know it through video games!

I see! My childrens love GTA, lots of weapons, they complain we haven't got.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, GTA was awesome, the game gives you a lots of opportunities. Most of the time the players don't even go after the objectives or try to accomplish the missions, the just hang around the city ad vandalise everything XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know it's so, there is a wide selection of weapons, from petrol cans to rocket launchers XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, indeed, i personally preferred to punch the cops and make them chasing me, it was fun, i didn't need any weapons

Polically incorrect, but quite amusing

The Americans also sometimes had a .38 cal revolver. I have seen an ammo pouch that snaps onto the webbed pistol belt. The ammo pouch has three pockets which each hold a revolver cylinder of bullets. This ammo pouch has the same snap on the backside as a double magazine ammo pouch for a .45 automatic pistol. Sometimes the leather holster for an automatic pistol is altered. Doughboys would cut the top flaps off and the bottom of the leather holster. Sometimes the holster strap would be altered into a strap. I have seen revolvers used in altered holsters. The American West was very popular on the American mindset during the early 20th Century. Sometimes liked trying to quick draw a pistol.
