Talk:Saga of Tanya the Evil

Please have proper paperwork when visiting the Empire.

I've seen that there wasn't a page for Youjo Senki, so decided to start it up. Images are all screenshots I've taken for my blog in which I talk about the weapons featured in the series. --Jusuchin (talk) 21:07, 8 March 2017 (EST)

Maxims/Other IDs

The one in the first cap looks to take after the Russian variant, given it lacks the cone-shaped muzzle end common to those but not MG08s, while the second clearly has the muzzle disk of the Chinese version. StanTheMan (talk) 02:27, 9 March 2017 (EST)

The first image (originally) might actually be a British Vickers Medium Machine Gun, since this universe's version of Britain, the Allied Kingdom might have supplied their Republic allies. -- SSgt LuLZ 17:52, 9 March 2017 (GMT)

I concur this might indeed be a Vickers instead. Certainly not an MG08 in any case. The second I'm still quite certain is a Type 24, again, the muzzle disk is pretty plain. StanTheMan (talk) 15:00, 9 March 2017 (EST)

I made the assumption they tried to correctly portray the MG as a German Maxim as the tripod mount for it in the anime is indeed that of the MG08's, but since the animators were Japanese, they probably had captured Type 24s from WWII museums as reference from their research trips. Therefore I think is still fair to list it as a MG08, but leave in the notes about the Type 24 muzzle disk in the description. BTW, good eye on that detail. -- SSgt LuLZ 12:03, 10 March 2017 (GMT)

Mondragon is equipped with 20-round detachable box magazine (typical for the German service). The "Mars" is, in fact, actually a Roth-Steyr M1907, used by Austria-Hungary and Romania. -Slon95 (talk) 07:15, 9 March 2017 (EST)

And this is why I love y'alls. Came back to the article with fixes and new information.--Jusuchin (talk) 12:01, 9 March 2017 (EST)
