German Weapons
This thread will show charts that reflect several months of research. Small arms will go here, and I will post similar threads in other areas of the Arsenal. It's going to take some time, though. The RIFLES chart is page 7 of 25!
This table will display German designations for their own, and captured weapons, along with basic characteristics of the weapon.
