Talk:The Empire of Corpses

Nikolai Krasotkin's rifle is Vetterli Model 1869/70, not SMLE. The multi-barrel machine gun seems to be a kind of Gatling Gun rather than modern Minigun. Greg-Z (talk) 16:43, 29 September 2017 (EDT)

Webley Revolvers

Firstly, I think that the gun ID'd as a Mk V is the same as the others and the barrel length just look a little different due to the shadow and the fact that they are not drawn that consistently. Secondly, these guns are not Mk Vs or VIs as they lack the cylinder removal cams under the holster guides, and the guns have a birdshead grip with a spur at the top which makes them Mk Is:

Webley Mk I - .455 Webley

The part that doesn't match is the barrel length, but seeing as everything else matches the Mk I (including the rounded front sight which is wrong for the Mk VI which is the only variant that actually had a 6" barrel) I would ID these as Mk Is with lengthened barrels. --commando552 (talk) 18:46, 29 September 2017 (EDT)

Just to add, there were 6" barreled Mk Vs but they are pretty rare and the frame doesn't match, and there were civilian Mk VIs that had a Mk I style frame but they still had the cylinder cams which these guns lack. I think there were also Mk Is converted by the Navy during WW1 (into Mark I** models) to have 6 inch barrels, but during the conversion they were also fitted with the other new parts like the cylinder cams, and the front sight would have been the blade type rather than the half circle type seen in this. --commando552 (talk) 19:13, 29 September 2017 (EDT)
