WWII weps quiz 2, a tricky one.

Post by Sapper-FIN » Fri Mar 18, 2005 3:19 pm

Caliber: 9x19mm Luger/Para
Weight: 4.6 kg
Lenght: 870 mm
Barrel lenght: 314 mm
Rate of fire: 900 rounds per minute
Magazine capacity: 20, 50 or 70 rounds
Effective range: 200 meters

Replace "?" with the weapons name.

The ? submachine gun was developed by Finnish arms designer Aimo Lahti in 1920-1930 period and adopted by Finnish Army in 1931 as ? , or simply ?. ? was manufactured by Finnish company Tikkakoski Oy (that is why it´s users were called "Tikkakosken mannekiinit", the Tikkakoski mannequins), and licensed to Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland.

Used mostly by Finnish and Sweden armies, it was also widely exported into Baltic countries, some European and South American countries. ? was used with great success during Winter War of 1940 agains Soviet Union, when, wisely used, this SMG showed to the world the importance of the submachine guns to the modern warfare. Manufacture of the ? was ceased in Finland in 1944, but it was used well until the 1990s, when finally rendered obsolete and replaced in Army by assault rifles. Soviet PPSH was based on ?´s, they captured during winter war.

My vote is for the Suomi. Now I will admit that I looked in one of my weapons books, but only to get the spelling correct. Do I get my pint now? =P~
