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