Very subtle differences between these guns but I've managed to dig out some pics from the book:

"Infantry Weapons" by John Weeks (Pan/Ballantine 1971)

Sorry Erik,i see so many picture,do you really think that i did it on purpose????,if you only new me better.

The credit for the fourth picture go's to...........,i know a couple,but not every one.

I see you even bothered to rename my photo
Like i told you i see,and download so many pictures (good picture) 500 and more in 2 months that it is impossible for me to fil in the name of that some one who posted that picture.
Hope you understand my problem,but the credit for that picture go's to you.

For the good order:the credit of that krommlauf picture go's to Erik E.

Regards

Sander D

Well, its really not a big problem for me, but if you download it and post it here without remembering where you got it, you could certainly do the same on 10 other forums.

This photo is not special at all, and everyone which goes to Koblenz could take the same photo. The problems start when people download original photos and repost them without source.....
Like i told you i see,and download so many pictures (good picture) 500 and more in 2 months that it is impossible for me to fil in the name of that some one who posted that picture.
If your intention for downloading is to use them online again, making a list with copyrights would be a good idea! Someone could get really angry some day!
