Starting off the MG 08/15 thread with 2 wooden training guns. Used for practising drills.

There are 3 known patterns of issue bipod for the Light Machine Gun. I am looking for 2 types for 2 guns but here is a good image of a well made defensive system and the LMG crew. A normal 08/15 det should consist of 9 soldiers.

nice post. did you know that null acht funfzehn (0815)is a German saying for "nothing special, ordinary"? this was due to the MGs widespread use in the war.
