| Re: Identifying Army matériel Yeh Owen wins it is an: Ckm wz.30 HMG (short for ciężki karabin maszynowy wz.30; heavy machine gun Mark 1930) is a Polish-made clone of the American Browning M1917 heavy machine gun. Produced with only minor modifications, it was an unlicensed copy of its predecessor and was the standard machine gun of the Polish Army. |

| Re: Identifying Army matériel yep it is a Horton HO 229: At first glance this single-seat fighter-bomber looks just like a wing without a tail. Closer inspection reveals a fast, long-range jet armed with a lethal combination of machine guns and unguided missiles--the perfect fighter/ground-attack combination. Don’t let its wooden frame fool you--this is a tough, maneuverable flying machine, and in the hands of a capable German pilot it can do some serious damage. |

| Re: Identifying Army matériel It's the joint in a pace stick as recently discussed on GWF. Are you absolutely sure that's an Army pace stick and not an RAF or Navy one?  .. ... Do the Navy use 'em? you never know with stuff like that.. |
