M1903 and M1908 Bergmann Bayard auto's in 9mm Bergmann Bayard caliber.
Also probably some of the other 6.5 and 7.65 European auto's as well.
I've got a sneaking suspicion they probably also had some of the old blackpowder 11.7mm Gasser revolvers that were common around that part of the world during the era.

Greeks outright, French by inference and Russians on the sig line. I hope that clears it up for you, perhaps you were too busy laughing to make any sense of what I said previously.
BTW, I've probably forgotten more jokes than you've ever heard, just that I
prefer not to propagate negative stereotypes for the sake of a chuckle.
I think the it was the Russian revolver at the time. Not too sure though thats what I've been told. Their rifles were the Mannlicher-Schoenauer M1903/14 rifle. In reality up untill WW2 Greece bought equipment in small numbers from every country they could so it wouldnt surprise me if there were multipul models that were issued.
Grandfather faught in Greece during WW2, armed with British Equipment and after the War American Equipment. He says he really liked the American Springfield M1903 rifles.
Light Infantry, no picking on the French or the Greeks.

When someone doesn't understand the difference between a harmless joke (btw, it was very clear that I stated it was a joke) and the sytematic slandering of a particular race, that person is the mental midget. Don't try to take something in jest and try to blow it all of out proportion and make it some huge social issue you ####tard, others have tried it here with no success (btw don't get eaten by red meat).yorgi said:

I would like to point out that the Greek Nationality is NOT a race
Any claims of racism are completely off base.....
The correct term to use if one is to take the "joke" as a serious slander is BIGGOTRY!
Now back to your regularly scheduled bickering.
