Legendary Weapons

Short, long, combined, with or without visors ... arms supply is huge, but every shooter has their preferences. In this section we approach, in general, some of the most used worldwide. And that is to taste the colors were made.

Assault rifles / Submachine Bergmann MP18

Name: Bergmann MP18 Calibre: 9mm Parabellum Country: Germany Scope: short Creation: 1916 Load Capacity: 32 bullets Dimensions: 81.5 cm long (20 cm barrel) Weight: 5.2 kg

Description: The MP18 was designed by German engineer Hugo Schmeisser, who was commissioned to create this authentic vaciador bullet for Theodor Bergmann weapons factory. For this reason, international, was considered to be the father

of Schmeisser submachine war first. The MP18 had a sizeable presence among the "Sturmtruppen" German assault troops that tested the strength of this weapon in the last battles of the Great War. Precisely, the MP18 was designed to introduce a new type of war strategy known as "blitzkrieg" (troops with high mobility and high firepower). Thus, through this rough SMG, German soldiers could fire a large number of bullets at close range, and even moving it. In this sense, the main element is MP18 characteristic of rotary charger. Originally called "Trommelmagazin 08", the snail-shaped charger have allowed 32 9mm Parabellum caliber bullets.However, the TM 08 also represented the main drawback devised by Schmeisser submachine gun for several reasons. First, its location in the upper left of the gun shooter reduced visibility. Furthermore, its reload process was slow and complicated. And finally, was very susceptible to climate change and soiled easily, what remained its reliability. These problems with the charger made in WWII the MP18 was replaced by other more advanced models like the M28 or M38, which showed notable changes in this element. As happened with the legendary Mauser 98, the MP18 also received numerous imitations. One of the highlights was the British Lanchester, a submachine gun that had the same head that the SMLE and a charger for 50 rounds of 9mm.

Thompson

Name: Thompson M1928 Caliber: .45 ACP (11.43 mm) Country: United States Scope: short Creation: 1928 Load Capacity: 50 rounds Dimensions: 83 cm long Weight: 4.7 kg (empty)

Description: The Thompson submachine gun is intimately linked to American gangsters, who was known by the nickname of "Tommy".Although it was originally created for military use, this legendary weapon has carved out a niche in history by the top leaders of organized crime. In this regard has contributed greatly the film industry, as it is not difficult to remember the legendary Al Capone images with Thompson in his hands. Perhaps the most popular model of this is the M1928 submachine. This weapon is characterized by having two handles and a drumshaped charger for up to 50 rounds of .45 ACP. The creator of this famous submachine gun was the U.S. General John Taliaferro Thompson, who wanted to build a weapon with a mechanism similar to a machine gun but that could be used on the move. And thus was born the first Thompson in 1917, which subsequently undergo numerous modifications. Next to the model 1928 highlight was the M1, which was released in 1943, during the Second World War.This version was simpler than the M1928, only had a handle and was designed exclusively for use in warfare. Precisely, the M1 Thompson

submachine was one of the most used by U.S. soldiers in both World War II and in the battles of Korea and Vietnam.Over time, both British and Americans created more economic weapons that ended up replacing the Thompson excessively expensive. M3 is the American and British Sten.

M-16

Name: Stoner AR-15 / M16 Calibre: 5.56 mm x 45 Country: United States Range: Medium (200 meters) Creation: 1964 Load Capacity: 20 rounds Dimensions: 98.6 cm long

Weight: 3.6 kg (empty)

Description: The M16 assault rifle is one of the heaviest weapons in our recent history. Identified with the West during the Cold War the M16 came to represent the antithesis of the AK47 main communist. So, this submachine gun assault had a momentous role in the Vietnam War, where U.S. troops M16 measured the effectiveness of the performance of the Vietnamese Kalashnikov. And, essentially, the M16 was designed to equip the U.S. Army for a light weapon, capable of firing a large number of bullets with remarkable precision. Eugene Stoner was the father of the legendary submachine gun, derived from the original AR-15 and it soon became the model for the rest of modern assault rifles. Thus, from the moment of his birth the M16 revolutionized the weapons of the era. Its innovative design, made from plastic, metal and aluminum alloys, this weapon endowed an unusual lightness.Furthermore, M16 was also incorporating the first submachine 5.56 mm x 45 gauge, also known as .223 Remington. This type of ammunition was characterized by its low cost, light weight and efficient medium distances. Taking all these apparent advantages the U.S. Army officially adopted as the M16 assault rifle to his troops in 1964. However, the beginnings were not easy. In the early years of the Vietnam War, the M16 as a weapon was unreliable, with problems in your charger and vague amid the Asian jungle.These problems were solved in a short time and thus was born the first version of this legendary weapon called M16A1. Since then, there have been many subsequent models until the current A4. The U.S. police use the AR15 (Asault Rifle) as semiautomatic assault weapon.

AK47

Name: Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947 Calibre: 7.62 mm x 39 Country: USSR (now Russia) Range: Medium-short (200 meters) Creation: 1947 Load Capacity: 30 rounds Dimensions: 87 cm long (41.5 cm barrel) Weight: 4.3 kg

Description: The well-known American historian Edward Clinton Ezell predicted in his book on the AK47 weapon hardly exist in this world that can replace Kalashnikov 2025. Viewing fame that still has the worldwide AK47 seems Ezell was not far off track in his prediction.And this assault rifle is one of the most widespread weapons worldwide. There are basically two reasons for the popularity of the AK47. On one hand, is cheaper than the submachine M16, and secondly, a gun is extremely resistant. Its creator was the legendary Mikhail T. Kalashnikov, who

based his design on the German MP44. The Red Army officially adopted the AK47 after World War II, replacing the outdated SKS45 of Simonovs. Subsequently, Kalashnikov was developing new versions of your AK.Most of these models had a shorter barrel than submachine Western, which made the Soviet weapons were less accurate at long distance shots. This was the major drawback of AK47, together with the fact that too rose in the shooting bursts. However, these shortcomings are more than made up for with his enormous strength and perfect adaptation to all weather conditions. Thus, the AK47 was a suitable weapon for combat in difficult areas, such as the Vietnamese jungle. In 1980 there was a new version of Kalashnikov submachine prepared for employment of 5.45 mm caliber, more lethal and accurate than the last. In short, the AK47 is the antithesis of the M16. Communism versus capitalism, which is reflected by simply comparing the lives of their respective creators. While Eugene Stoner became a billionaire thanks to the M16, Mikhail Kalashnikov received economic benefits just for being the father of the legendary AK47.

Uzi

Name: Uzi Submachinegun Calibre: 9mm x 19 Parabellum Country: Israel Scope: short Creation: 1951 Load Capacity: 32 rounds Dimensions: 65 cm long (26 cm barrel) Weight: 4 kg

Description: Uziel Gal, Israeli army lieutenant, was responsible for the creation of the official submachine gun of his country. Based in the Czech CZ23 model, Uziel managed to build an effective weapon, extremely simple and compact. Thus was born the Uzi submachinegun, an assault rifle that quickly became a national symbol for Israel. But his fame was not reduced only to their country, and thanks to the Uzi film industry achieved great popularity worldwide. Thus, it is easy to remember Chuck Norris with one of these weapons in each hand in one of his many action films. Sadly, the Uzi has also earned some "bad name" to become the favorite weapon of many American bands and major drug traffickers, mainly because of their small size and high firepower. In terms of structure, the Uzi has a feature that facilitates the naked eye recognition. This is the rounded metal earmuffs that protect the spotlight and rising. Furthermore, this SMG has an innovative design compared to other existing weapons at the time. First, it has a small footprint with its drive system. In this sense, the Uzi works by mass inertia, enabling folding the closure on the barrel breech. Thus

obtained Uziel significantly reduce the dimensions of the weapon without losing potency. Furthermore, this SMG has a folding pattern sidewalk, once collected, leaves the gun at a mere 44 cm in length. Another highlight of the Uzi is your charger.The standard model accommodates 9mm cartridges 32 and is inserted through the hole of the handle, in a manner similar to the guns. The Uzi submachinegun is one of the weapons sold around the world, but which historically has enjoyed greater prominence has been in the Middle East.

MP38 / MP40

Name: Maschinenpistole 38 Calibre: 9mm Parabellum Country: Germany Scope: short Creation: 1938

Load Capacity: 32 rounds Dimensions: 83 cm long (25.1 barrel) Weight: 4.7 kg

Description: Both are MP40 MP38 submachine guns as they have gone down in history because of its involvement in World War II. These legendary weapons have always been very close to the Nazi army and served as inspiration for the subsequent development of machine guns. There are very few differences between these two SMGs. Both were born in the German armory Erma and were designed by Heinrich Vollmer. Actually, it is a simple evolution. When Nazi Germany entered World War II German soldiers were equipped with the MP38, more sophisticated and expensive than the later version. This created the MP40, as a more economical and simpler to mass produce than the previous SMG. Both weapons used the same operating system and had a magazine for 32 rounds of 9mm Parabellum. The paratroopers and mechanized infantry were in charge of bringing MP40 to the battlefield, where he was as a submachine excellent in close combat. However, its effectiveness was greatly reduced in the open field, where he had little precision shooting at long distances. The "Maschinenpistole" or machine pistol revolutionized the weapons of the time to have two major innovations. On the one hand, had a folding stock that significantly reduced the size of the weapon, and on the other it was the first submachine gun that used the plastic grip and forearm, leaving behind the traditional wood.

Machine Guns FN Minimi lol

Name: FN Minimi / M249 SAW Caliber: 5.56 mm NATO Country: Belgium Range: Medium-long (700 meters) Creation: 1982 Load Capacity: Up to 200 cartridges Dimensions: 1 meter (46.5 inch barrel) Weight: 7 kg with bipod

Description: One of the main problems encountered by soldiers on the battlefield is the heavy weight of certain guns. This reduces the carrying capacity of these weapons and detracts a large number of possibilities. In order to eliminate this drawback, the famous Belgian company FN Herstal developed in the early 80's the legendary FN Minimi. In this sense, it is a light machine gun that has received wide acceptance internationally since the moment of his birth. Mass production of the Minimi began in 1982, the year in which the weapon created by FN Herstal was adopted by the U.S. Army under the name M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). Besides its lightness, the main reason that led to the Armed Forces to opt for the Minimi was the fact that he use the same ammunition as the M16 assault rifle. Use of 5.56 mm caliber machine gun also helped Belgium to improve accuracy, since even shooting in bursts, the M249 is more manageable than other larger caliber machine guns. Among the main features of the FN Minimi are its reliability, its high rate of fire and the ease with which you can replace your cannon. In this sense, the gun has a small lever

located near the canyon that helps users more quickly replace. Moreover, it is a highly durable weapon, as demonstrated by the fact that its main parts having a useful life of more than 50,000 shots.

MG3

Name: Maschinengewehr 3 (MG3) Calibre: 7.62 mm x 51 NATO (.308 Win) Country: Germany Range: Medium-long (700 meters) Creation: 1968 Load Capacity: Up to 120 cartridges Dimensions: 1.2 meters (56.5 inch barrel) Weight: 11.5 kg with bipod

Description: The MG3 is one of the world's most famous machine guns. Actually, it is the modified version of the popular MG42, the Nazi machine gun army officer during World War II. With a design similar to its predecessor, the main novelty of the MG3 is the adoption of NATO caliber 7.62 mm instead of 7.92 mm Mauser used in the legendary MG42. The production of the MG3 started in 1959 under the name MG42/59. Almost ten years later, namely in 1968, the German manufacturer Rheinmetall GmbH changed its name to MG3 and began mass production in order to supply the ground troops from different countries such as Denmark, Italy, Norway, Chile or Pakistan. In other nations, such as the former Yugoslavia, has been made for many years identical copies of this excellent German weapon. The MG3, known among the Spanish troops with the nickname "The Machine" is powered by a belt that can hold between 50 and 120 cartridges. It is characterized by having an interchangeable barrel must be replaced after performing about 150 shots. And, despite being air cooled, the barrel of the MG3 is subjected to high temperatures that ultimately deform.Furthermore, it is a highly reliable machine gun and which has a very high firing rate (about 200 rounds per minute). Besides its bipod incorporated with the MG3 also may be triggered by a tripod 25 kg weapon which confers greater stability and precision.

HK 21

Name: Heckler & Koch 21 Calibre: 7.62 mm x 51 NATO Country: Germany Range: Medium-long (700 meters) Creation: 1970 Load Capacity: up to 100 bullets Tape Dimensions: 1.1 meters (barrel 55 cm) Weight: 9.3 kg with bipod

Description: Used by many armies around the world, HK 21 machine gun, in its various versions, has carved out a niche in the history of arms thanks to its large volume of fire and its remarkable accuracy. The original model of this legendary machine gun was named HK 21 caliber ammunition and fired 7.62 x 51mm NATO. A major feature of this weapon is its versatility. In this regard it is noteworthy that the HK 21 chargers could run through 20 or 30 rounds, using a drum magazine with 80 rounds, or by classical belts between 50 and 100 rounds. In addition, this excellent German machine gun could fire single shot or automatic, with corresponding single lever operating the fire mode selector. His action system used was the same as the legendary MG3 machine gun. Following the success of the HK 21, the German manufacturer Heckler & Koch decided to develop a new version of his machine gun which he called HK 21A. Currently, H & K has stopped making these two models, even though these weapons continue to be produced under license in the nations of Greece

and Portugal. By contrast, Heckler & Koch produces two improved versions of the original HK 21: HK 21E for 7.62mm NATO and HK 23E in 5.56mm NATO (.223 Rem). The HK 23E is similar to HK 21E in virtually all respects, except for the chamber design and the size of the barrel. Among the features of modern HK 21E excels a fire mode selector that allows its users to shoot in bursts of three shots.

Gatling Gun

Name: Gatling Gun Calibre: Between 11.43 mm and 25.4 mm Country: United States Range: Medium-short (400 meters) Creation: 1861 Load Capacity: - Alternative

Dimensions: - Alternative Weight: over 40 kg

Description: The Gatling Gun can be considered the first machine gun ever. In fact it was the first weapon that managed to combine reliability, high rate of fire and a simple charging within a single device. Its designer, Richard J. American Gatling, managed to create a weapon that grouped several guns shoot allowing a large number of bullets in no time. These guns, whose number ranged between 6 and 10 were arranged in parallel around a central tube. The guns, each with its own closure bolt would turn on at the same time the tube were manually operated by a crank. In this regard, to use the Gatling Gun soldier needed to move the handle to the 6 or 10 began to fire guns hardly break. The original design of Richard J. Gatling was designed to shoot calibers between 25.4 mm and 11.43 mm, while the ammunition was then used black powder. Today, over a century after his birth, the Gatling Gun term is commonly used to refer to all those guns that have a similar design to the original rotating barrel. During almost the entire twentieth century armed forces of many countries have adopted different models and versions of this legendary machine gun.Transported by large wheels mounted on warships or fighter of special forces, the Gatling Gun has become a machine gun reliable, powerful and very effective. The "worst enemy" of the troops who bear its rush hits.

MG42

Name: Maschinengewehr 42 (MG42) Calibre: 7.92 mm Mauser Country: Germany Range: Medium-long (800 meters) Creation: 1942 Load Capacity: 50 or 250 tapes cartridges Dimensions: 1.2 meters (53.3 inch barrel) Weight: 11.57 kg with bipod

Description: His distinctive sound, similar to that produced when ripping a curtain, became the bane of Allied troops during World War II.Internationally known by the nickname of "circular saw", the MG42 was history as more effective machine gun on the planet. Its high rate of fire (some models performed about 1,800 rounds per minute) and reliability made it a weapon feared by U.S. and British troops faced off with her on the front lines. Designed by German company Metall und Johannes Lackierwarenfabrik Grossfuss AG, MG42 machine gun was created to replace the MG34, his famous predecessor. As the MG34, MG42 caliber ammunition used Mauser 7.92 mm (7.92 x57mm). But unlike its predecessor, the MG42 was faster and less expensive to produce. This fact, coupled with its strength and easy use, led to this gun reached the status of myth. Several German companies, which include famous names such as

Mauser or Grosfuss, manufacturing patent obtained in 1942. From that year until the end of the war (1945), these companies produced over 400,000 units of the MG42. This popular work by machine gun blowback system and fed by disposable tape cartridges 50-250. For proper operation required the presence of three soldiers: the shooter, the magazine (who was responsible for ammunition and guns replace when overheated) and the observer. The collapsible bipod incorporated MG42 could be used both in the front of the weapon and in the central part. After the conclusion of World War II, the MG42 was replaced by MG42/59 and later by the MG3. However, the popularity of this legendary machine gun did not end with the conclusion of the war, as the armies around the world copied and adopted the mechanism for their own machine guns MG42. In this sense include U.S. M60 (with a feeding system very similar to the MG42) and M53 Yugoslav which maintained the Mauser 7.92 mm caliber.

M60

Name: M60 Caliber: 7,62 x51mm NATO Country: United States Range: Medium-long (700 meters) Creation: End of the 1940s Load Capacity: 100 tape cartridges Dimensions: 1.1 meters (56cm barrel) Weight: 10.5 kg with bipod

Description: Made by Maremont Corporation, the M60 made history by being the official gun of American soldiers who participated in the Vietnam War. With a mechanism of action by making gas and power supply system based on the use of 100 tape cartridges, the M60 machine gun became the U.S. Army officer in 1950. That first model was based on the successful German MG42, which copied the feed mechanism. The M60 machine gun is characterized by having interchangeable barrel, folding bipod, and being able to equip with a tripod in all types of vehicles. In this sense, different versions can be mounted on helicopters, as the M60D, or M60E2, used in Abrams M1A2 tanks. Despite his international fame, the M60 presented notable drawbacks that led to it was finally replaced by the FN MAG and the M240. One such problem was the need for the shooter used special gloves to replace the barrel, a gun that should be replaced after 200 shots fired in rapid fire mode. On the other hand, require constant care and M60 continuous cleaning. These disadvantages and certain problems related to setting display, created between U.S. troops a climate of opinion rather negative about the M60. In order to address complaints and grievances of soldiers overcome the problems of his machine gun, the U.S. Army adopted a new version of the M60 called M60E3. This new model is lighter than the M60 significantly reduced the reliability of the original gun. In addition, the new M60E3 cannon could not support more than 100 shots in rapid fire mode. In fact, shooting 200 to 300 rounds without replacing the barrel could end up destroying it. For this reason, U.S. troops again rejected the M60E3, prompting the U.S. Defense Department to finally adopt the FN MAG and M240.

Name: CETME Ameli Caliber: 5,56 x45mm NATO Country: Spain Range: Medium-long (700 meters) Creation: 1982 Carrying Capacity: Tapes 100/200 cartridges Dimensions: 97cm long (40cm barrel) Weight: 6.85 kg loaded / empty 5.3 kg

Description: The term Ameli is a shortened form of "light machine gun". Made in 1982 by the Spanish company Empresa Nacional Santa Barbara, Ameli characteristic works by blowback system. This mechanism, together with its mobile cannon and semi-rigid locking system for rollers, make the main gun Ameli in the Spanish arms industry. The creation of this weapon is due to momentum and the interest of Colonel Don Jos Mara Jimnez Alfaro, Technical Research Center of Special Materials (CETME). Colonel Alfaro propelled the birth of this gun is fed by 100 or 200 tape cartridges. These tapes were often wrapped inside plastic boxes that facilitated the transport of ammunition. Its external appearance is very similar to that of the German MG3 (with a smaller size and caliber), but in its inner workings more closely resembles L. CETME assault rifle In fact, some elements of the L CETME Ameli and are perfectly interchangeable. Moreover, as happens in the MG3, the rate of fire of Ameli can be adjusted by using interchangeable locks. Thus, the lighter bolt cadence is obtained about 1,200 rounds per minute, while the heavier bolt firing cadence round the 900 rounds per minute. Other highlights of the gun is its folding bipod Ameli, increases your system type diopter (with graduation for 200, 400, 600 and 800 meters) and L-9A1 SUSAT viewer. Many of the units manufactured by Santa Barbara went to the Marine Corps, the paratroopers and elite units of the Army.

Description: The Mauser Kar 98 is considered the best rifle in history, mainly for two reasons: its extraordinary design and great precision. For many years became the weapon benchmark German infantry, with which developed a major role during the Second World War. Actually, the

Mauser Kar 98 is an evolution of the Gewehr 98 rifle used by German soldiers in the Great War. The new Mauser, who was born in 1935, had a size and weight limitations, which favored the war strategy "lightning" designed by the Third Reich. Although your system manual lock Kar 98 Mauser converted to a weapon slower than the U.S. M1 Garand, the German rifle always enjoyed greater popularity in the battlefield. Snipers helped increase the fame of this German rifle which he could incorporate various scopes. A few years after his birth, the Mauser Kar 98 Germanic crossed borders and reached Spain. This was used by the forces of the national side during the Civil War, the result of collaboration between the troops of General Franco and the German Reich.

Description: Within the category of rifles juxtaposed, the Holland & Holland 600 Nitro Express deserves a special mention. And, actually, this is one of the most powerful hunting rifles in the world. This legendary weapon had its principal moment of glory during the first quarter of the twentieth century. At that time, his powerful Nitro Express cartridges were white on a large number of elephants and dangerous species of the African continent. The nickname Nitro Express was used to refer to nitroglycerin used for the explosion of the shells. The cartridges used by Holland & Holland 600 were filled with modern gunpowder, cordite as the famous. Furthermore, it had wrapped by a material folded extreme hardness allowing large parts. Currently, this jewel of English heraldry is in disuse. The high cost of ammunition and huge kick out of this rifle Holland & Holland led to the decision to abandon production.

Description: Conceptually, the Springfield M1903 represents an evolution of the famous German Mauser 98. During the early years of the twentieth century, the world's main armies tried to copy the popular operating system Mauser. Thus were born some legendary models like the British Lee-Enfield, the Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle, and of course, the American M1903 Springfield. This weapon replaced the old KragJorgensen, larger and heavier than the M1903. American troops used this very rifle in the battles of the Great War and the early years of World War II. The Springfield M1903 is a bolt action rifle with a rifled barrel only. This is a model similar to German Mauser, but differs in two aspects: its dimensions are slightly lower and less powerful cartridges (caliber .30). After the appearance and rapid spread of the M1 Garand rifle, the M1903 was relegated to use by snipers. The snipers were able to incorporate a scope to this weapon, which over the years as a rifle was more accurate and effective than M1. Precisely as precision weapon continued to be used until the '60s, when finally fell into disuse.

Description: At the time of its appearance, the SMLE (Rifle, Short, Magazine, LeeEnfield) became the fastest bolt action rifle of all infantry forces. Actually, this is an evolution of the original Lee-Metford. However, this new rifle was shorter, lighter, and above all, much faster than its predecessor. The first Lee-Enfield, understood as such, was born in 1895 with a .303. Subsequently, they were new versions of this legendary rifle that had a disposable charger is capable of storing up to 10 bullets. This large magazine and fast bolt system are the key differentiators of this rifle on the German Mauser 98. Furthermore, these two features allow a skilled marksman get, theoretically, a rate of fire of about 15 rounds per minute, something unique for the time. The SMLE called emerged in 1904 as a model lighter and shorter than its predecessor. However, its small size raised some controversy among

British soldiers, who felt that there was a fairly short rifle for cavalry and it was not long enough to shoot accurately at long distances. The Lee-Enfield rifle was used by the British armies in the two world wars. Later, its use was extended over time to near 70's, when the MoD readapted numerous models of the Lee-Enfield 7.62mm for use as a weapon of rearguard.
