Walther PPK (Famous German handgun used by fictional British spy, James Bond. Whats interesting about this particular one for sale is the origin. Owner says he bought it in the late 60’s at the Duty Free Gun Shop at Weisbaden Army Airfield. I wonder if there are any other Duty Free shops around the world that sell guns…)

Stalingrad… (A German soldier taking cover with his captured Soviet PPSh-41. This compact submachine gun excelled in the tight urban warfare in besieged cities. Although the Germans had the MP-40, lack of supplies usually meant using captured weapons.)

Walther Police Pistol (Also known as the Walther PP, it is slightly longer than the more famous Walther PPK. This particular example has a complete engraving job with gold inlay. It’s actually up on an auction site and seller claims it came from the Nuremburg trials. Note the “SA” markings on the grips. The SA were the “stormtroopers” of the Nazi party during the early years but would be replaced by the more infamous SS.)

Smoke break VI… (German soldiers taking a break and smoking some cigarettes. Note that the bayonet is attached to his Mauser K98. Rarely see German soldiers with their bayonets ready; a much more common sight with the Soviets. On another note, Hitler who was against smoking, changed supply packages to soldiers; replacing the cigarettes with chocolate because smoking was unhealthy.)

French Foreign Legion (This soldier is German but fights for the French. He is in the same unit as the Canadian FRL soldier pictured earlier. What’s ironic here is that he is equipped with a German weapon; the H&K 417, a 7.62x51mm version of the H&K 416.)

G82 (German sniper and spotter team letting a round fly down range with their G82, the designation code for the U.S Barret M82. Note the spare mag, although empty, nearby.)

MG34… (Soldier in the foreground has the spare barrel carrier tube sling over his back. Although a very good light machine gun on its own, the 34 proved to be too costly and time consuming as the needs of war prompted for a cheaper, faster production design. Enter the MG42.)

Sig Sauer P229 (This compact little handgun is chambered in .357 SIG, not .357 Magnum. They’re also available in 40 S&W and 9mm. I haven’t used or tried anything with the .357 SIG caliber yet so I can’t comment.)

Silent shot… (Rachel Anne, the tattooed hottie from Advanced Armament Corp shooting a silenced H&K USP.)

GSG-5 SD Titanium (This was a limited 1st anniversary edition released by GSG. It still resembles a real MP5 quite a bit. The silencer is fake, although GSG did sell around 80 limited, actual suppressed GSG-5’s. What’s ironic about the one in the picture is that it’s deactivated and located in the United Kingdom.)
