But not my taste

Philipino martial arts are based on short weapons and close quarters jungle warfare

@anthr0pos what about this

I love this thing

Ah yes

Single shot rifles and carbines are so 👌

Firearms between 1600s and 1850s are the best

Until the 50s

There a lot of good ww2 guns

I do like modern ones too but I just prefer the old

I mean Victorian guns are cool too and ww1 and ww2 but the era before was og

For firearms

This thing is better than pasta

Mab 38

And it was made by pasta people

Good ol mab 38

The best smg in ww2

Wished I could own one

True

That thing was incredibly high quality

Reliable, accurate, sweet looking

Heres the worst

The best our small arms manifacturers offered in years

I kinda like its simple look

And it was dirt cheap

The sten looks good I agree

Some later models were decent on a technical level

Then the french made this

Oh God

Why

Looks weird but kinda neat

It folds

Oh no

It was made for police officers

What the shit is that

Also the later stens are far more expensive

True

Its a French smg made for police officers

Its called the PM9

It can't possibly be worse than the cauchat

The cauchat wasnt bad

People didnt use it properly

The early model was though

No

It wasnt made for sustained fire

Even if you used it properly it jammed every 5 rounds

It was made for firing on the move during an assault

It only jammed because people would use it like a normal machine gun

Maybe because of mud but come on, what are you expecting on a trench

No

Even when dirty the run could fire quite a lot before any issues

It just needed to rest afterwarss

It was made for assaults not defense

Then how are you supposed to use it

The operation is the same, different position

No

A machine gun has to fire hundreds maybe thousands of rounds

The cauchat was made to fire arroind 200 rounds

And then rest

It was made for firing from the hip while on the move during an assault

Also the french had one of if not the best rifle in ww2

It doesn't matter how much you fire it if it jams after 5 rounds anyway

it jams after 200

It doesnt jam after 5 rounds

People have tested it

also i'm a k98 fanboy so I disagree mankn

And it workerd fine until the 200 rounds mark

@Pelkių monstras I sais one of

the mosin nagant is good for sniping aswell

The k98 is up there with it

Then I must have watched a bullshit vid

Mosin was kinda poop

But it was dirt cheap so

its accurate

**CARCANO**

The Italian got it right

German snipers would take the mosin nagant and used it for sniping

They made their gun tiny

Gimme a **carcano**

Making it a far better weapon to move arround

Give any gun

mankn where were you gone for that hour btw

I will take a handgonne

What hour

Small cartridge but still very good for medium distances, also making the same shortened version for both cavalry and infantry was smart

Requires less production effort

Lighter

*no one used calvalry anymore tho*

Yeah but in mid wars era a little, the carabines versions were used then for paras and engineers in ww2 @Mankn II

Usually, talking about other countries

We had the same for everyone ofc, coming from the ww1 version

Finally Nihil left

He was banned

What a mess he caused
