Star Wars Weapons

[Nospai Deathous]

I already did the thomson >.> think axis, not ally.

you're supposed to guess what real world gun i based the DLT-20C off of.

hint (big one):

first assault rifle: ever.  

[Sol Walker]

officially? cause the germans had one too but its rarely counted...  

[Nelowulf]

I want to say a mauser, but I know that's not right.

Its a WWI gun, isn't it?  

[Sol Walker]

no, a wwwII one.  

[Nelowulf]

Cale Darksun

no, a wwwII one.

a mauser is a WWII gun.

I'm asking Nospai if his reference is a WWI gun, though the fact he said axis makes me think WWII...

I'm just not really into it.. I'm still tired.  

[Sol Walker]

No, its a ASSAULT rifle. assault rifles are stricktly post ww2 weapons.  

[Nospai Deathous]

no, it was invented for paratroopers... it was the first full-auto weapon to keep the rough size and weight of a large submachinegun while using rounds larger than the 9mm parabellum and smaller than a rifle or (heavy) machinegun round.

it was late in the war. it is WWII, and axis, i mean Germany.  

[Sol Walker]

yes I know exactly what you're talking about but I don't know the name and Im not gonna look it up.(thats cheating) cripes it will come to me...  

[Nelowulf]

Technically, WWI had assult rifles, if you want to quiver over details. But It's not worth the fight.

Crap... Um... s**t... Can't think straight.

Not an MP-42, not a Wieger... definately not a steyer. I'd almost say FG-42, but no... Of course, If I guess it and skip over it, its probably due to the modifications...

MP-40 perhaps? designed back in WWI, but never used, until it found an application in WW2? And yes, it was an assault rifle...

That's the earliest i can think of.  

[Nospai Deathous]

i'll give another 500 to Nelo if someone guesses it right.  

[Nelowulf]

Its gotta be a MP-40. That's the closest thing I can think of...

If it isn't, then its too modified to be recognised by anything...  

[Nospai Deathous]

*sigh*

you were only off by 4 years.



this is the MP-44, "sturmgeiver" or some such spelling like that. first assault rifle ever made.  

[Sol Walker]

I think its pronounced Gervier.  

[Nospai Deathous]

i heard it pronounced "guy-ver", from a guy who owned one. but he may have mis-pronounced it.

you know those rifles the rebels use on endor? guess what? MP44s!! XD
