IT might have been a RHEINMETAL flexible aircraft gun converted to a ground LMG. i do remember it had saddledrum magazines, and the bipod was not near the muzzle at all. i have to admit i was and still am taken with the idea of a double barrel flare pistol that could also launcher grenades, for those occasions when you wanted to do more than "light them up" or "burn them out".

Ross - superb job, dont be too hard on yourself....thats the mrs job!  Dawgie - the smiesser is the MP40. The P38 is a pretty good combat pistol and is still made as the P1 (like the Mg43 is made as the MG1 - they must have gotten them right if they are still making them). No MP44's? The father of the modern assault rifle and it is probably the inspiration for the famous AK design. No idea about that LMG though. There is a possibility it was captured from some place and re-used. Or maybe the looted from a aircraft wreck as that was common on both sides. British Halftracks had no weapons, so the brit crews used to rip them from downed fighters and bombers. I wonder how many airfield crews came out in the morning to find some nocturnal scavenger removed the guns from a aircraft. Xander, the Sten was mass produced (and designed so a small workshop could churn out hundreds) and many fell apart due to crap spot welds. Maybe someone told a fib.
