Sorry to resurrect this thread, it prevents me from explaining everything again from the start. The question I have is : what reparations can a nation undertake to the weapons it has in its possession without having a licence for that weapon ? I imagine that, for instance with Lewis LMG...

Thank you Gunnerboy and TenMillimaster for your precise answers ! That was exactly what I wanted to know. I didn't know about the Finnish ammunition specifications, I'll have to take a look on why they decided to do this. Your answers got me thinking for a while, because there was something...

Yes, indeed it was how the Finns operated with most of the equipmeny they didn't like. The M/27 Degtjarev became their "de facto" standard LMG in WW2. It just helps to start with more weapons to kill commies. Thank you all for your replies. :) One question still open is : how feasible would...

Well they may have been smarter, nevertheless they did take 5,000 of them, with 10 million rounds of 8x50R Lebel with it, and say "thank you" on top of that. Finland ended up taking everything it could get. My take is the following : if it's the way it is going to end, you might as well...

Recently I have been thinking how Finland, back in the 30's, could have prepared better for the Winter War. The exercise is not to do it in hindsight, but with the logic of the times. In this context, I decided to create this post and see what you fellows think about it. 1.Links 2.General idea...

Turn the problem around : what are the two rifles I'll keep ? That would be the best all-rounders I think, which would also happen to be the cheapest ones , i.e. those who would bring you the less money if you sold them : keep one converted Saiga and one 12ga Saiga. If you have a lot of P90...

If we're talking about a rifle that is going to be produced in peacetime, warehoused and then distributed to conscripts / militiamen, then the AK has been designed specifically for this. Goverment-issue "Citizen Rifle" What I understand under "Citizen Rifle" is a rifle that would be considered...

The story about Goering and the drillings is linked with equipping the Volkssturm, IIRC. Regarding survival, well if your life, or say, the life of your little daughter is at stake, then you would end up doing what most people do when it comes down to this : have a weapon to attack a farm or...

Its true I thought more about "self-instruction" when I wrote my post. Any training made with an instructor is of course the right thing to do. (and this is the sense of the last sentence in my last post, but agreed, it wasn't very clear) What I had in mind was that neophyptes, who often...

Personnaly I think Airsoft weapons are giving BAD REFLEXES to the users. One shot of a real weapon can change your life (and that of your family / your town) permanently. You need to have a good situational training before engaging any target. I don't think this "load saved game" attitude...

I own a CZ 452 (Standard version, .22LR) and a CZ 550 in 7x64 (standard version as well). My personal opinion is that there are few really inaccurate weapons nowadays. CZ are accurate weapons straight out of the box, whereas new weapons from some other brands require more time from their...
