this has been in my dad's gun cabinet all my life and only a few weeks ago did i recognize what it is... here's the photos









only problem is the bolt seems to be stuck.. it moves but not all the way...

heh... I remember that gun from Vietcong :p

was a good gun.

The man with ze rifle shoots! Then, when the rifle falls, ze man wizout the rifle picks up ze rifle and shoots!

I wish *I* had a gun cabinet. But I'd keep MP5's and more fun things in there.

just like the one in call of duty

mp5 more fun than a vintage rifle that possibly fired bullets that hit german troops in WW2?

Heh. Classic gun. Is it still usable?

GIVE. NOW.

my dad and uncle have fired it but if i can't get the bolt to open i'm screwed

I have a german Kar 98 from WW1.

It's ironic because you didn't say just like from WWII.

I have one of the whatever the heck Canada used in the war. I dont remember what it was called.

Modify it to shoot tranquilizers, then you can call yourself "The End."

Slingshot?

To me, the name is familiar from OFP. Rather interesting.

My dad has an M1 Carbine that I shoot regularly. The difference between the M1 and the M1A1(like the one in the game) is that the former doesn't have the foldable stock.

*BANG*

*cha-chink*

Lee Enfield

When my Great Uncle dies my Dad is inheriting a 1906 revolver that someone he knew had picked off the battlefield in WWI

HAHAHAHAHAHA. canadians with guns, what a silly idea

I always call that gun the Mushkin Magnet when playing CoD.

Funny how when it comes to american's contribution to world war two, it's all about respecting those brave american heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice, but when it comes to another country, which proportionally did much more, you just laugh at them. Haha, people died to save europe, funny!

They hunt, too. (Ignoring the whole 'Canada went to war as well' fact.)

>.>
.....it was a joke flexy

Proportionally more? Somehow I reallly doubt that. Perhaps in lives, but certainly not in production of warships, fighter planes, munitions, etc.

i'm not sure how it's supposed to be pronounced either... AND I OWN ONE

anyone know?

Mo-sin Na-gant or similar probably. I got Muskin from Mushkin Memory which sounds Russian (or maybe it's just the association of sleigh dogs and "Mush!" which associates with the cold of Russia) and if you mix up Mosin and Nagant you get something like Magnet. Mushkin Magnet.

....You just reminded me that the local pub owes me $10! Damnit! Well I know what I'm doing tomorrow

Because 1) it's over with, we can joke about it, 2) American contributions are going to be more prevalent in...hey...america! and 3) IT WAS A JOKE.

Dosen't change the fact that we did more...

Proof?

Quick list of countries which did the most during the second world war:

Germany (Best offenders, also most fascist) - Did the most

Britain (best Defenders)

Russia (best supporting side, also wins best communist side)

Rest of the world (not America, Japan or France) - Helped loads

Japan - More then America

America - little bit, had to be bombed before they realised there were problems in the world.

France (best surrenderers) - least helpful

Seems as if America is being criticized now...and there are always problems in the world. Granted, it's a completely different situation -- but who are you to say that America didn't see Hitler as a problem?

'Little bit'? Heh..whatever.

How can you be certain Europe wouldn't have fallen if the US hadn't entired? I'll agree they took far too long, but they did also help a whole lot with supplying weapons and equipment before getting involved directly.

1940..China..there was a little gang known as the "AVG"..wonder where they came from? :p

This whole post seems incredibly disrespectful. Millions of people died in WWII... people from all the countries you mentioned. They all died fighting for what they believed in.

There was a Chinese anti-virus gang in 1940??

I meant in numbers/population/economy. That's why I said proportionally. Plus, canada was there since the begining. The US joined at the very end. That's irrelevant, though. I know it's just a joke, but it wasn't funny the first fiften thousand times someone made it. That's like the whole france surrendering thing. They did what they did to save millions of lives, it was the smartest choice to make, and people just mock them for it. It's ridiculous.

If you go to france today and say you're canadian, the people there will treat you like a hero. Everytime the prime minister visits france, they have a huge celebration and everybody's happy.

How contemporarily francophobically populistic.

What about the Polish then? The Czechs, surrendering without a single shot fired, yet they don't make your list? The British (Chamberlain trying appeasement until bullets start tearing across the air, giving away Austria and Sudet-Czechoslovakia on a platter before the war even starts. Fleeing at Dunkirk, "heroically retreating". You think England wouldn't have fallen if there wasn't a thin strip of water in between?) even Stalin had a non-agression pact signed to avoid fighting the Germans. Denmark and the BeNeLux getting rolled over. What about Greece? Norway? Yugoslavia? They are other nations that also continued underground guerilla warfare against Axis occupiers after being defeated in a shorter time than it took to lose France.

You don't think surrender was the only sensible option? No one had used tanks and mechanized infantry like the Germans in 1939-1941 (though the French had better tanks on a one on one basis, they were used like static defenses, much like how the Iraqis used their T-72's statically in 2003 like they had learned to do in similar circumstances during the Iran-Iraq war, which in turn was fought much like the trenches of Western Europe with massed human-wave attacks etc.) The U.S. armed forces in 1940 couldn't have held off a similar offensive, no army could've. Germany lost less than 50,000 troops in two years (compared to 50,000 dead at Gettysburg in three days).

1941 was the very end? I'll have to disagree with you there.
