.303 pistols are known in India because .303 is very popular and pistols are illegal for civs to own

but cut down rifles are ok?

No but people have .303 ammo and welders

.303 is also a piss-weak baby round that the British kept around out of sheer embarassment

tfw you have to ductape 12 .303 MGs to your Hurricanes so they can actually kill anything, and even then they still suck

That’s what happens when you initially make a black powder round

And then decide CORDITE is the best propellant on Earth for everything.

Even your naval guns

Which is why they fired slower, with lower velocity and pressure

And they had to have "oversized" guns with a higher count to give equivalent firepower to literally any other naval power.

Britain was still using coil wrapped guns when everybody else was making solid-cast barrels.

They're such a joke of a country

*over sized guns* yep they were some pretty large guns alright

*looks at Americans and germans putting 203s on cruisers*

*looks at American and IJN battleships*

Isn't England great

Considering they needed 14" guns to give near-equivalent ballsitics to a Krupp 12" gun, yeah it's bad. Their 16" guns were 16" in name only, their actual performance was equivalent to 12-14" guns.

The British had to make up for it by smashing as many guns as they could in to shittily designed turrets, with absolutely no safety measures

Which meant they had lower accuracy and reload rates, and a higher propensity for turret knockouts and crew casualties.

Then you have US and German guns, where an 8" cannon could hit like a 10-12" gun in terms of impact and penetration

italian guns are still my favorite

"yeah it's cheaper to replace gun barrels than entire ships so lets just super charge these mother fuckers"

M A S S I M A V E L O C I T À

God

Give the Italian army and Air Force all the shit you want but if you insult the Regina Marina I will shit down your neck

“Bernardo, a why is-a the battleship so espensive?”

“Because-a, Luigi, is a work of art-a”

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

big words for someone just outside the effective range of my leaf blower

HAZARD

STRIPE

BOWS

Reichtangle you fucking ignorant slut, do you not also understand how fantastic Italian fighters were?

I mean he does like the M14

tfw literally every single airforce was like "dang can we get some of that Re.2005"

Oh yeah pre and early war

I unironically fuck with the andrea doria

Roma gets the PP up

@Sadmin

anyone got a diagram of your basic bolt action say if someone wanted to make a functioning pipe rifle but i cant find a decent enough diagram....

what kind of bolt? Mauser? Carcano? Nagant?
