Overall Favorite Weapon

I love all you German weapon fans!

My overall favourite weapon?
Fairburn-Sykes fighting knife!

(I'm sorry folks, it's not German!)

 

a fast battleship.

 

Armor: T34/Sherman
Small Arms: Garand/MP44/Thompson/PPSH-41
Plane: Mustang/Corsair/Spitfire/Me262

Overall Favorite: Nukes.

 

M1 Garand, obviously. One of the first semi-automatic rifles in use by any armies in the world, and perhaps the best out of all of them. Eisenhower said it himself- that he considered it one of the weapons that won the entire damned affair. Go M1!

 

The Mg42 is way cheaper than the MG34... First, it was the first MG using stamped steel so it was easier and faster to produce, then they took out the double trigger and a lot of pansy work so it was faster to produce.
The Mg34 is compared to the Rolls roice of the machine guns of the time... Not really worth the price for what it did. hard to maintain for a neglegivble improve in perfoirmance.



I'd go for the MG 42 as the best machine gun. It's trully a GPMG the first of it's kind it was lighter than the browning .30 could be transformed easilly from GPMG and LMG... It was cool


Handguns I'd go for the colt 1911


Cheers...

 

Love the nukes!!!!!!!

 

Blimey, where I have I seen Yossarian's avatar before?

On the nukes part, what's to love about them? Massive wiping out of cities?
Come to think of it, what's to love of any weapon, they all remove life.

 

Nukes? I think the name of the forum is "Weapons in WWII."

 

IF I remember correctly there were two "Nukes" used during the war . So they do qualify LOL .

 

Just making sure you were paying attention...

 

I will say any snipers rifle, is worth dollar for dollar more then any other weapon.

 

Ya but what happens when they catch you??? Snipers are not treated well when caught. And should never put notches in their rifle.

 

Tank: Tiger II
Plane: spitfire MKII
Anti Aircraft: Bofors 44mm
Anti Tank: Pak 38
Carbine: M1 Carbine
Bolt action: Lee enfield
Sub Machine: PPSH
Machine pistol: MP40
Pistol: Luger
Machine Gun: Machinegewer42
Light Machine Gun: Browning Automatic Rifle

240 mm Trench Mortar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

I don't seem to recall the MP-43s, MP-44s and StG.44s being issued or used as a sniper rifle except in video games IIRC. It was deemed unsuitable for a sniper rifle. The magazine for one reason. The Gew.43 / Kar.43 had a sniper version though.

 

Also, the lack of accuracy in long ranges was a deterrement. The maganzine could be easilly dealt with as they could make a smaller one for that role.



Cheers...

 

I love T-34, m1-garand, tiger, panzer, ppsh (i don't remeber number but I know that in this weapon 73 bullets) and german mp-44.

 

Be a bit more specific. All German tanks were named Panzerkampfwagen; the Tiger series were named Panzer VI for instance, while the Panthers were known as Panzer V's. I assume you mean the medium Panzers, though, such as Pz.Kpf.W. III and IV.

It was 40mm was the Bofors AA gun
Which Lee-Enfield?
Which PPSH?

 

I assume he was referring to the PPSh-41. That's the most well-known of the PPShs.
