Yes, Good eye. Mount 53 circa 2011 around when I made my last artifact donation trip to her. Only other place to see a casemated ship-board 5" 51 is USS Olympia (not sure if any of the displayed subs retained theirs). From memory a 55# shell at ±3000fps and around 18,000 yards range.Was that photo taken aboard the USS Texas at the San Jacinto Battleground State Park?
That’s a High Standard Sentinel, maybe a MKII.
Eh, not my very favorite, but one of them, for sure! With those diopter sights, better accuracy than most people would think. We swapped out our MP-5s as entry weapons for carbines in 300 Blackout. But I will always maintain an great affection for those German guns! For those that own one, I'm envious. Undeniable cool factor...My personal favorite for close quarters/dignitary protection details in vehicles; H&K Mp5-K PDW:
That safety reminds me of "no pew.., pew.., pew pew pew pew.
Wow, amazing array!
