I think no one remembers the blue battalion, the Spanish battalion that entered the battle of Stalingrad. but you know I would like to see something about this battalion at least
If they ever put something related or as a premium squad or event. Could you put some weapons created by them? .
I have some weapons that could be enough for the first 3 brs
Labora smg 1938:
History: The Labora was produced in Catalonia in an attempt to remedy the Republican government’s poor supply of small arms. Ultimately it did not circumvent this issue, as it proved too expensive to mass produce. Only a few thousand were made over the span of a year and they had no impact on the Republican war effort. Production ceased when the Republic collapsed and the Nationalist government was instated.
During World War II, small quantities of Laboras were smuggled into France by Spanish partisans and used in their struggle against the German occupation. Today, Labora submachine guns are almost exclusively museum pieces.
Starsi35:
The Si35, RU35 and TN35 are standard blowback operated submachine guns. All three weapons are visually identical and mechanically very similar, with the same layout and control setups, with the only discernible differences between the Si35, RU35 and TN35 being the rates of fire of all three weapons. The RU35 had a rate of fire of 300 RPM, likely due to a bolt weight, the TU35 had a rate of fire of 700 RPM, while the Si35 had a unique capability for weapons at the time: the ability to toggle between two rates of fire. This ability was not seen on many weapons before that time, or after, for that matter, with the most famous weapon having a variable rate of fire being the Browning Automatic Rifle.
The Si35 had an overly complicated control setup, with two levers mounted on the left of the weapon. The forward lever acts as a selector switch, which switches the weapon between semi-automatic and fully-automatic, while the rear lever acts to reduce or increase the rate of fire of the weapon and doubles as a safety; how it is able to toggle between both rates of fire is not known, though it is assumed it could be similar to how a Browning Automatic Rifle’s method of doing so.
The Si35, RU35 and TN35 use a complicated delayed blowback system, where a two-piece bolt locks the bolt head to the receiver on the early stages of recoil. Sights were adjustable from 50 to 1000 meters. The weapon has a wooden stock, and the weapon’s barrel is fitted into a cooling jacket with a muzzle brake up front.
Tallinn model 1923:
History:The newly-independent state of Estonia established a domestic arms programme in the early 1920s to supply their military and irregular forces. The Tallinn Model 1923 was the first submachine gun to be produced in Estonia, designed by Johannes Teiman and manufactured by Tallinn Arsenal. The basic design was copied from the Swiss SIG Model 1920 submachine gun, which had been exported to the Baltics in the early 1920s. However it was not chambered in 7.65mm, as the SIG was, but instead took the 9x20mm Browning cartridge (and is indeed one of the only submachine guns to have been built around this cartridge). The magazine was based on the SIG type but took 40 rounds instead of 50. The barrel was also modified with cooling fins, which apparently did little to prevent overheating, and a barrel jacket with rectangular cooling slots. Production lasted from 1926 to 1930, during which time only around 530 examples were made. They were used by Estonian militia fighters in the 1920s and early 1930s but by the mid - late 30s, Estonia licensed production of the far superior Suomi submachine gun from Finland and the Tallinn SMG was deemed surplus. A large portion of the small production run was sold to the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War.
Spanish Fusil M32 Sistema MR Manual:It was a semi-automatic rifle that participated in the Spanish Civil War, using an overnight system very similar to the Mondragón with a chamber of 5 to 10 bullets. I have been looking and there is only one manual in Spanish that talks about its operation
