  • Warsaw Pact Small Arms Guide

    The latest thing I have to share is a bit more substantial than I have done previously, it is a guide to small arms used by the Warsaw Pact (plus Finland and Yugoslavia). As ever comments are welcome.

      Not bad for a simplified Warsaw pac small arms list. I can think of a list of weapons you don't cover but that's currently besides the point. Right now your list is very good for what you have covered.

        Good work, James, though I'd add the Rk95TP (the model 95 folding stock) in to the entry on the finnish weapons as well as the Finnish model 62 LMG, since it would have been in use as a SAW in majority of units during Twilight War. And let's not forget the model 85 sniper rifle, built on a custom stock and free-floating bull-barrel from the actions of Mosin-Nagant -type rifles.

        Anyway, very good piece of work. Thumbs up.

And if you do get it shot off, make sure you're dead, because if you ain't, guess who's gotta drag your sorry ass off the field? Were short on everything, so the only painkiller I have comes in 9mm doses. Now get the hell out of my foxhole!" - an unknown medic somewhere, 2013.

              I didn't see the Groza or the Vintorez. Other than those it's got a good coverage. The photos didn't come out too well for me.

                I know photos are poor, unfortunately the size limit on files really hits large documents. Will look at Groza and Vintorez.

                  Great read, James!

                  Are you going to add shotguns (Saiga!)

                  You've mentioned at least one Yugoslawian rifle (M48). I know, that Zastawa had build several weapons, chambered for NATO calibres. Do you want to cover these, too

                  And, last thing: On the backcover it reads: "Note to mention ..." I'm not sure. Is that right or a misspelling

                  Regards

                    An excellent piece of work. I particularly liked the way its been written as an historical document after the war.

                    The pictures don't come out well for me either.

                          Versoin 2.2.4

                          Updated version, with special thanks to Thomas for all the extra info. I appreciate the pictures are so low res as to be next to useless but this is due to the size limit of files. I am working on a solution.

                              You are welcome for the credit after the info you provided me. You will be pleased to hear the British one is underway and I hope to follow with a German one.
