Soviets have RMN-50, Japan have Arisaka Mortar, I suggested Sturmkampfgewehr and Granatkarabiner for germany, also the lanciabombe from Italy (and seems Euthy liked it), now I suggest this thing for Allieds, directly from official museum
If you want consider other options I am ready to listen, I want fairness for all nations
Is there any more info here?
What shell does it fire? | The WW2 Lee-Enfield Rifle No.4 grenade launching systems.
A newly designed 2½ inch discharger cup was produced for the No.4 rifle," is quick search, that gives no info on the armament.
British used 2in (51mm) mortar at the time so mortar shell doesnt seem compatible, which is the point here, both Arisaka and RNM fire mortar shells, NOT grenades.
in the museum page you have the info, I know they where mostly grenades, but I think one was incendiary, the only thing we could use then, it’s the american modification who throw rifles, that’s why I speak about add it my man
im presuming its 2.5in grenades in this case
No. 68 AT grenade - Wikipedia is also 2.5in in diamater
yup
Like the Zuckermann?
Yeah, could do interesting things like a Zuckerman but with a switch to AT grenades as well, aka alternating ammo
I think that would be quite dope
that’s a good option ~
I think this grenade launcher should use the No. 68 AT grenade, because it’s filling weight is 156 grams, which is more powerful than the Type 89 50 mm HE(150 grams).A hand mortar with 52 mm of armor penetration would be more valuable as a BP weapon.
yes
Ts turned me on, I WANT IT
you only need think, its not only a mortar, but it can be other ammo, in the museum page you have a list of the ammo it used, so it could be a cool weapon
Do we know when this was made?
The site didn’t include this info
acording to the one who was sold in auction house probably around 1944, from museum, if you check and zoom it you can see the 1944 mark, so yes, we are in WW2 period
Yeah, according to the serial number (BU12685) it was manufactured in the Royal Ordenance Factory (1) Malby, the BU batch correspond to the period when 450,000 - 460,000 were made already, 2685 is the exact number this weapon was assigned. Late production rifle, 1944 indeed.
The RM-50 doesn’t show up very often—I don’t even have one myself. I’d really like an event where I could get two of them.
Ok noted it then
Thanks
