just for fun.....Fantasy ww2 weapons
There was a lot of good technology, but do to manufacturing priorities were made limited or only prototype. Heres the rules: Using only existing technology and manufacturing processes from the time come up with some cool guns.
The AK-47 was possible. Id say a Good AK would be a much better gun for the russians. the medium cartidge and firepower would be excellent for stalingrad like environments. The AK47u would be possible too. Its easy to carve wood into a front pistol grip, the tommy gun had it. make it with a longer stock (no body armor in ww2) and a thicker grip. I also say the 276 petersen round as our MBR cartridge. A m14 type gun would be possible. Get a Garand to use BAR mags or something. Lighter recoil with range and punch in the petersen. Modify the 1911s with bigger sights and bigger safety, and gold bead front sights. I think asquad gpmg wold be good but dont know how to make it, maybe a bar size gun with a belt feed and a compensator? |
M1941 Johnson LMG, converteted to belt feed, possably with a heavier barrel.

An M1 or M2 carbine chambered in a round with more range and power than .30 carbine. It could have one of the first assault rifles and would have done good in the house to house fighting in Europe.

A much more developed family of weapons based off the battle proven Stg/MP-44 series. Seriously, if the Germans had implemented the MP44 early in the war, it would have made a bigger impact. Imagine the entire German infantry with assault rifles against the US Garands.
Though I have always wished the BAR was lighter with a higher capacity box magazine. |
I never understood why antitank rifles weren't immediately repurposed as long range sniper/antimaterial rifles.

Maybe these rifles weren't that common to begin with.

Edit: Apparently they were also used by The Philippines well into the 1960's. Edit 2: Disney produced the training video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rODm7HF5lFU Wikipedia also says the Chinese Nationalists did use them as sniper rifles, but it's not sourced. |
