The official AHF small arms quiz thread
Re: The official AHF small arms quiz thread
So, AHF quiz players are poor physicists/physicians.
Let’s try a hint from geography/literature... (most of design manufacture)

Yes - quiz weapon is a Sjögrenshaba wrote:the shotgun is a Sjögren... inertia locked
There is an info: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/sjogren ... nd-shotgunshaba wrote:dont know about the rifle
(.pdf link below is my original photo source; shotgun photo is from Wikipedia)
Hints:
Isaac Newton’s First Law of Movement – “INERTIA” ;
Sjögren autoimune disease;
Denmark – most of Sjögrens were manufactured there (i.e. shotguns; test rifles were made in Sweden).
In a way, I quite pleased that question was not solved using easy hints I gave (browsing with inertia-shotgun and Denmark-manufacture-shotgun would gave immediate results).
Well done, Shaba - your question is next!

The "Upload attachment" button works almost flawlessly (red arrow marks the spot) - only limitations are photo size and certain formats (like .bmp), so - don't give up easily!shaba wrote:for some reason i cant post the pic a was going to post

Is it Austria?

Re: The official AHF small arms quiz thread
Austria-Hungary indeed is the correct answer. This weapon, the invention of a Standschütze Hellriegel, was called a machine gun in 1915 although it appears to have chambered a pistol cartridge. Here are the whole 1st and 2nd picture plus a 3rd one featuring a mag bearer.
