A Machine Gun Corps post in a barn near Haverskerque, 1 May 1918 is what the caption said but I don't see any machine guns.

I don't see a barn either.

Looks to me like they are launching German M1913 rifle grenades at somebody.  I don't see a machine gun or a barn either.

Found another copy of the photo and it was labled

German soldiers with a K98 Grenade Launcher, World War 1

That sounds a lot closer

I think captions got swapped on the photos here is the barn machine gun nest

We had a periscope rifle post awhile back but I don't thing this one was posted.

Always seemed to me that the German Military had some very interesting and innovative equipment.

Well, apparently they appropriated some of it, but they definately did have some interesting tech, if they would have managed to field some of it in numbers we may of had an interesting time with them.

Yep, they spent tremendous resources making some really cool stuff. Meanwhile, we kept churning out Shermans, B-17's, and PFC's. We know which worked better.

I agree, but you forgot one of the best, the P51 Mustang.  We would of lost way more bombers and crew had it not been for them.

Indeed. After I posted that I thought... dang it, I left out the P-51.

Looks like this one is begging for a caption. I don't think the ammo on the belt will work in what she has on her shoulder.

Everyone thought she played a weird flute...

Ok, so what gun is that?

[RED333]

That is most likely a Winchester Model 70 30-06

That is some kind of tricked-out M-14.
