Re: Yugoslave artillery 1941
Excellent aca-p.
by the way what was the Carbines you mentioned, were they just cut down versions of the 7.92mm M.24 Rifle?
Was the 7.92mm M.24 Rifle used by Machine Gun Troops or was there a combination of both Carbines and Rifles.

Re: Yugoslave artillery 1941
Is this better?
Small MG Squad
Sub-Sergeant (Pistol)
Two Corporals/Gunners (Pistols)
Five Gun Crew (Carbines)
Three Grooms (Carbines)
I would have thought that at least two men in the gun crew in the small MG squad would have been loaders and the rest either for ammo carrying or security.

Re: Yugoslave artillery 1941
Due to the lack of information I cannot track down what make of Carbine the Machine Gun Troops would be issued, I would expect them to be calibre 7.92mm and maybe they were of Czech origin or could they be Steyr M95?

Re: Yugoslave artillery 1941
Carabines in Yugoslav army had turned-down bolt handle and were designed to carry on your back and not over your shoulder.

Re: Yugoslave artillery 1941
Thank you Lt. Colonel for you time and kindness.
So would the term Carbine be say a standard M.24 Rifle with a turned down bolt.

Re: Yugoslave artillery 1941
Lt. Colonel, do you have the year and amount of Mitraljez 8mm M.7/12 S available to the Yugoslav Army?
I am also having difficulty in find out the effective or maximum range for this weapon.
I have it as 580 rounds per minute, but I don’t think this was a practical rate of fire.
Thanks for any help.

Re: Yugoslave artillery 1941
These guns were captured by Austro Hungarian army. I have the exact number of captured but I have to look at my records. Effective range for machine gun M 7/12 in original caliber 8 mm (for target 1,70 m high) was 450 m (exactly 600 steps) and maximum range 2000 m. Muzzle velocity ... 530 m/s. Data are from the Yugoslav Range tables for Mitraljez 8 mm M 7/12. Interestingly, in some manuals theoretical rate of fire was 300 rounds per minute in other 500 rounds per minute. I have not seen any of the Austro-Hungarian nor in Yugoslavia or in the Russian manuals (or Range table) data on 580 rounds per minute - exclusively 300 or 500 rounds per minute. Practical rate of fire in all manuals (or Range table) was 250 rounds per minute.

Re: Yugoslave artillery 1941
Hello Nebojša, your English is fine.
Thank you for the help, the two sites I have been using for data concerning the Schwarzlose are these;
http://www.worldwar2.ro/arme/?article=285
http://www.waroverholland.nl/index.php? ... achineguns
The trouble is they fire a different round to the one issued Yugoslavian troops.
Keep well and I hope to hear from you later.
Best wishes

Re: Yugoslave artillery 1941
Hello all.
I've recently found a good photo from the Dutch National Archive.
Two Italian officers are examining captured Yugoslav artillery pieces, 47 mm Škoda anti-tank guns (could anyone remind, what was it official and factory designations?) and 81 mm Brandt mortars (M.31 or M.31/38?)
Thanks in advance.
