Photos - Other Axis with captured firearms
I thought it might be interesting to start a "sister" thread to this one.
So, do you have any interesting pictures of Axis personnel (Italian, Japanese, Hungarian, et al.) with captured small arms to share?
I will try to dig some up too. Thanks for any photos.

Well, I will get the thread started. The following is Italian cavalry in North Africa with captured Thompsons. Per forum rules, I found this pic via Google image search and the source is this site.
Also, this post on AHF has pictures of Japanese and Italian troops with captured small arms.

1st pic is SNLF with an Arcraft pattern Vickers, not a .30 Browning M1919A4, the Barrel jacket cooling holes are too small for the browning and you can se the Fusee spring the vickers uses on the left side of the reciever. Its very likely the Japanese Type 89 vickers copyCHARLEMAGNE 4 wrote:Japanese soldiers with captured .30 cal MG.
