The machine guns


The best accessories are the machine guns. There are several models in plastic in some in die cast. The more impress for me are: the U.S. M1917 .30 cal. Browning Machine Gun, the Soviet "MAXIM" M1910 7.62mm, the British M1917 .30 Browning with water cooking and the German MG37.
The MG37 was an air-cooled gas recoil operated weapon that was belt fed. It used the standard German cartridge and had an adjustable rate of fire. There was a light and heavy barrel available, the heavy one was distinguished by its cooling fins.
