Cool to see the "Reising" ones.  Didn't know what they were called.  always thought they were weird Frankenstein together Tommy guns for Jungle fighting.

Gun 7 is another M50 Model 55 and Gun 8 is actually a Boys anti-tank rifle.

Thanks!  I wonder how many other weapons never quite made it as regular U.S. military equipment.

I guess that's why I didn't recognize the gun at first.
