just for fun.....Fantasy ww2 weapons

[k9870]

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?
