Rare photo of a rare plane. Convair YB-60. They completed 1 prototype and were almost done with the 2nd when the program (and both airframes) was scrapped in favor of the Boeing YB-52.

Not sure about this one, it may be a reenactment or staged current photo. Looks too clean for just a colorized black & white photo.

The uniform is all wrong for someone carrying a BlasTech DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle.

It’s a Luger with the stock attached.

It is either an artillery Luger or a Navy Luger with the stock. Probably an Artillery Luger  with the 7.9” barrel as the barrel looks longer than the 5.9” Navy Luger

So these arm braces the ATF wants to outlaw are old news? Pshaw!

The ATF is full of contradictions.

I sent this photo to a friend that does WW-2 reenactments on the German side. Did get a definitive answer but here is his response.

"My first guess is it's a reenactor, but he's looking very authentic
as a Soldat of the Gross Deutschland division.  In real life he would
likely would have been photographed with his ammo carrier assistants with
him as that MG 42 runs at 20 bullets a second everytime he pulls the
trigger.  If it's a real photo, it was taken some time after 1943."

Big haul, wonder if they had a limit or if the pose was fending of the game warden.

They look Russian to me. Either way, no limits back then.
