So it is!
These guys.@Fairline In your WW2 US units big collection (I believe some of the others have similar units) or those guys directly above and to right (and upper-right diagonal) of the Marines embeded with the sandbags meant to be machine guns or recoiless rifles on tripods?
I'm getting the sinking feeling that I've asked a stupid question, and no one wants to break it to me.@Fairline In your WW2 US units big collection (I believe some of the others have similar units) or those guys directly above and to right (and upper-right diagonal) of the Marines embeded with the sandbags meant to be machine guns or recoiless rifles on tripods?
Aren't those m1918A2, with bipods, differents from m1919 and m2 with their tripods ?I'm getting the sinking feeling that I've asked a stupid question, and no one wants to break it to me.
So, they are MG's and not recoiless rifles (which was my inquiry)?Aren't those m1918A2, with bipods, differents from m1919 and m2 with their tripods ?
Guess @Fairline is the one dissipating guessesSo, they are MG's and not recoiless rifles (which was my inquiry)?
You might be right.I don't think you sit behind a recoilless rifle. Just sayin'.
Nearly right: left one is the M1917A1 Browning which was a Vickers MG look-a-like and of course the other one is the Browning M2 0.5" cal. Having looked it up the M1918A2 is the BAR, which I've depicted being hand-held on other units EDIT: and, as you say, on the fellas behind sandbags mounted on a bipod. I think the 50 cal M2 still had a tripod, but reversed with 2 legs at the back and one at the front.Aren't those m1918A2, with bipods, differents from m1919 and m2 with their tripods ?
How about these things?
