天滅中共全黨死清光!

Good evening.
A long lasting vintage light mortar: Ordnance ML 2 inch. Inspired in the Spanish 50 mm Valero 1932 mortar, 2 inch mortar was adopted in 1937, and was the standart platoon support weapon during WWII and Korea. A shorter and lighter version, Mk. VII* (and later Mk.8) were made for airborne troops. Despite being replaced by the rather similar 51 mm mortar, is still widely used.

Good evening, gentlemen. A happy new year for the fellow bucketeers!

A pair of ligth mortars, one of the interwar years, and the other, after the Vietnam War.

The Spanish Valero 50 mm Model 1932 was very used during the Spanish Civil War and was the inspiration for the 2 inch British light mortar, which had an intense use in WWII and Korea.

NB1: The mortar is shown in an odd position mainly because I want to being able to use the current gunbuacket templates. For traveling, the mortar is also placed in an horizontal position, but with the barrel mouth placed in opposite direction. For firing, the mortar must be placed with an elevation of 45 to 75 degrees.

NB2: During the SCW there was no a standard length of the barrel, some were of 21 inches, but other were as large as 25.6 inches. I depicted one of these long barreled mortars.

The repalcemente of the defective M19 light mortar was the cleverly designed M224, nowadays the standard company mortar in the US Army. It could be used either as a light assault support weapon, hand held with a light baseplate, or as a normal mortar, with bipod, a circular baseplate and optical aiming goniometer.

A WWII era rifle, was used by the Marines, but is largelly overshadowed by the much better known Garand: the Johnson Rifle.

Finally, the interwar evolution of MP-18 was the prolific MP-28. It was used in the cruel Chaco War, with China against the Japanese, in the Spanish Civil war (known by the Republicans as Naranjero, a generic name given to the submachine guns built in the Levant zone) and by the Dutch in the East Indies during WWII.
