Picture of the day

[Dark Alley Dan]

Lovely composition.

Man, what I wouldn't give for a Model 38 in primo condition. They're said to be very good rifles, and can shoot with accuracy on par with the Swede.

Both 6.5mm cartridges. Coincidence?

 

[smellie]

ANCHORS on the helmet-covers?

Imperial Japanese Marines?

Great photo.

6.5 dia bullets are in the ideal for having good bc and they are usually longer witch makes them more stable. air resistance is low while still having a relatively light bullet and light recoil to get desired velocity. A 30 cal bullet with equal bc would need to be 200+ gr and need more powder so more recoil like .300 rum

Hi. It is the hose that connects the canister to his gas mask.

Arlington Cemetery I do believe. I was there once as a kid, the absolute vastness of the sea of headstones leaves a lasting impression.

british commandos?

British Commandos from Sword Beach linking up with the 6th Airborne at Pegasus Bridge. The paratroopers have the better quality Sten Mk.V SMG. The commando in the foreground looks to be carrying a M1911A1 or possibly an Inglis Hi-Power?
