10 points for the first person to name every weapon.

Of course, the points are like my appendix.  They don’t matter.

UPDATE: I put the original in the extended entry where you can read the labels.

2. Capper, that was totally going to be my comment. Either great minds think alike, or neither of us is very original.

3. Top to bottom M-14, M-1 Garand, AK-47 Kalashnikov, .45 cal ‘Grease gun’ Thompson, not sure on the pistols, some type Luger?

4. No on all counts, except for the Luger, but you didn’t give the model.

7. Ooo, ooo! Let me try:

   2. MegaMax Street Fighter (guaranteed to tear through initial target and hit kid on porch)

   3. Concealed Carry Special (special silencer setting for accidents, suicides and “heated discussions”)

   4. Hunting Rifle (dust-resistant for card-games, drinking and for when the other guns are a’blazin’)

   5. FoolYourself Home Protector (did you get it out in time? No? Ooops, sorry)

   6.  Super Recoil Kid Trainer (go get ‘em, lil killer!)

   Etc.

   Where can I pick up my prize?

9. Silencer?  Where?  Hunting?  Concealed carry?

   My goodness you should stick to topics about which you aren’t so ignorant.

10. Oops, forgot the 4th gun from the top is the German 9mm Model 38 Machine pistol.

    What would you like to know about them?

11. Ooooo… you’re very close.  Check the sub machine gun.

    Posted by Owen on June 03, 2008 at 2323 hrs
    
    
    

12. Quick guesses (too late to do much more).

    Mauser K98, or 24/47. Hard to tell at this resolution. There were so many close variants of that weapon that it could be any one of hundreds of variants.

    Gewehr 43. (I pity the fool who had the 41)

    StG 43.

    MP-40. A fine weapon.

    ??? Some descendent of the MP18, but I can’t know which. Maybe an FG-42?

    P08 (Luger).

    P38 (Walther).

    argh…  well if its not the MP18 then I’d guess the 28ll

15. If i recall correclty that missing pistol is a Maschinenpistole (MP) 18 as was stated above, possibley the rare mark 2 version of that MP. 

    But that bolt handle in the vertical position bugs me, that makes it look like a Sten with wood stocks and a full barrel shroud, but why a british gun thrown in all the german ones?

21. Funny.  Small arms in one post, and then big arms in the next.  I’d take these guns over those guns, though.

22. Is the MP18 really an MP28? They are so darn close, it’s hard to tell.

    Posted by Patrick on June 04, 2008 at 0949 hrs
    
    
    

23. Or is the MP40 really an MP38?

24. Ok, the one I missed has to be an Machinenpistole EMP

27. ok I can type EMP35

    Is the MP18 really an MP28? They are so darn close, it’s hard to tell.

    I believe its the EMP35 because to my knowledge that’s the only one with the forward grip.

    All the other variants of the MP18 do not have that forward grip. 

    Or is the MP40 really an MP38?

    Yeah I struggled with that one.  I think it might be an MP40 because of the ribbing on the magazine receiver.  The guns were essentially the same weapon save a few cost-saving changes with more stamped parts than machined.

29. Erma EMP44 Submachine gun

    I strongly disagree.  Thats no EMP44

32. Agreed.  Unless someone seriously customized their EMP35. 

    You need to send a letter to the War Memorial Museum for the 82nd Airborne at Ft. Bragg.

33. You need to send a letter to the War Memorial Museum for the 82nd Airborne at Ft. Bragg.

    eh… If they got the American weapons wrong I’d take issue with them!

    Can we have a “name that weapon” feature on B&S;?

    I mean since Jed doesn’t have time for the “name that location” feature.

    Plus with a “name that weapon” the liberals would have nothing intelligent to contribute and principled conversation could be had amongst freedom lovers.

    Come to think of it, I guess that would be just like any other post. 

    Just kidding (sorta)

    Might be the makings of a rather niche game show.
