Talk:Max Manus: Man of War

Unknowns

Unknown MG

Soviet troops are seen using an unknown MG during the flashbacks to the Winter War. I don't think it's a Maxim M1910/30. --Funkychinaman 19:40, 4 July 2012 (CDT)

• Looks like a Maxim to me, based on the rear sights and muzzle. Could it be fitted with a different-style jacket? --Crackshot 04:04, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm guessing it's some sort of Maxim, I'd just like to be sure. --Funkychinaman 23:11, 4 July 2012 (CDT)

Based on that last photo it looks like a Maxim M1910 or Vickers. --Crackshot 04:37, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

There were several modifications of Russian Maxim with smooth jacket: 1) the old M1905 model; 2) simplified M1910s manufactured during WW1 and in early 1920s; 3) Finnish M/09-21. This one resemble Finnish version but I'm not sure. A good view and description of Finnish Maxims can be found here. Greg-Z 00:49, 5 July 2012 (CDT)

I added two more shots of the MG, two of the receiver. --Funkychinaman 01:11, 5 July 2012 (CDT)

The hose connected to the jacket is another point in favor of Finnish Maxim. It is peculiar for Finnish machine guns; Russian/Soviet Maxims used the water hose only when they were static mounted in fortifications. So I vote for M/09-21. The muzzle on the third shot looks completly different from any Maxim but it could be a blank adapter. Greg-Z 01:24, 5 July 2012 (CDT)

M1911

Can it be Norwegian Kongsberg Colt? Greg-Z 00:49, 5 July 2012 (CDT)

I can't tell. That's the only time it shows up, and that's the best shot I could get. --Funkychinaman 01:13, 5 July 2012 (CDT)
