FIRE POWER

Steerable Anti-Tank Rocket

The rocket here is steerable, anti-tank rocket.
In the event your target moved just as you fired at it,
it could be mad change course to follow your target.



Ammunition Display
Ammunition Display

The ammunition in our display cases has all been inspected by
ammunition technicians to ensure nothing could be dangerous to anyone.


Rifle Display

Our collection of rifles includes many interesting pieces such as an
Old Roling Block and a Ross Bolt Action,
as well as an anti-tank Mauser 13mm which is quite an oddity.


WWI Aircraft Machine Gun
WWI Aircraft Machine Gun

At the end of WWI the allies tried to
denude Germany of all its heavy weapons.
Every village, town and city recieved a weapon of some type.
The museum has several of these weapons.
This aircraft machine gun was mounted
on a tripod which is missing.
It should be noted that a lot of these souvenirs were collected
up at the start of the second war and sent to rolling mills.



WWII Bren Gun

The Bren gun was the backbone of the infantry during WWII.
It used the same ammunition as the rifle and was very accruate.
It could be fired in a single rounds or fully automatic capacity.
Although our troops did not have as many machine guns per unit as the Germans,
we still used ours to advantage.
