Mg41 Ausf 4 an MG41 "Para"/"Fallschirmjäger"
standard light machine gun of the Valkiir regiments in the Former Westravian Imperial Military between 1942, and 1970s Still in use with reserve, and militia Units and manufactured for export.

Mg41 Ausf 4
Belt fed 7.62mm Open Bolt, rotating Bolt short Recoil operated.
Rate of fire: 600-900 RPM
Mass 10 -13 Kg
Ammo Capacity: 200 round belt in the attached drum, or standard belts, 25 round " ready "drums available


Mg41 Para
Belt fed 7.62mm Open Bolt, rotating Bolt short Recoil operated.
Rate of fire:
(7.92mm) 500-750 RPM
(7.92x33 and 7.62x39) 800-900
Mass 9 Kg
Ammo Capacity: 200 round belt in the attached drum, or standard belts, 25 round " ready "drums available

Based on captured items, and Covertly acquired blueprints of the MG34. the MG41 was developed for light infantry and motorized "Light Horse" units to provide mobile fire support to Valkiiri Infantrymen. It is simpler and lighter than the Mg34 made of few machined parts and large amounts of stamped metal and plastic/Bakelite. A variant chambered in 7.92mm was manufactured to allow the use of wartime captured ammunition stocks and take advantage of large stocks of material seized at the end of the war with several Hostile sates. The later version of the Para was rechambered into 7.92x33, then finally the 7.62x39mm. reducing its effective range, and power but making it fare more easily handled and fired on the move do to the reduced recoil of the round.

The M-259 used by modern Valkiir Forces is a modernized version of the design using many of its basic features and components manufactured of newer materials.

Mostly inspired by Tin Tin and the new SpaceX Starship, here is our nation's typical planet-direct-to-planet space-going vehicle!

It needs to be vectorised and needs a spell-fix but oh well

L-29 Armored Gun Carrier
In use by The Valkiri Regiments from Mid 1943 to 1955, ths vehicle was a workhorse during two decades of warfare and was popular with infantry even if the vehicle was based on an outdated chassis and ess than stellar mechanical designs. The
Light infantry Support Gun Carrier was armed with four 75mm recoilless infantry guns, and four 7.62mm Machineguns The Infantry support carrier can withstand most rifle caliber rounds, shell splinters, and grenade fragments. Its frontal armor is sufficient to resist 50.caliber round giving it a good chance of resisting fire from anything not armed with dedicated anti-tank weapons. The rear-mounted turret can rotate 360 degrees and allows the gun to fire at its maximum elevation of 58 degrees across a wide arc. Two loaders standing on the drop-down platform can rapidly reload the weapon, or reload the guns from an upper hatch. Allowing the vehicle to maintain a sustained barrage of fire on targets within one to two kilometers of the vehicle using direct fire sights and up to four to six kilometers in high angle indirect fire.

The vehicles 7.62mm machineguns also allow it to rapidly engage infantry, deal with lightly protected strongpoints, and defend against low flying aircraft. several thousand rounds of ammunition for the machineguns are carried by the vehicle. the large amount of machinegun ammo carried allowing it to act as a mobile base of fire without expending the ready ammo for the recoilless guns. Unless the recoilless guns are needed to deal with more heavily protected strongpoints, light bunkers, or brick/stone/concrete walls.

The vehicle was eventually replaced with more advanced designs, with modern mechanical and weapons systems but hundreds if not thousands (accurate records were lost over several decades) of the vehicles still remain in dry storage yards and are sold off to customers in need of cheap, easily maintained infantry support vehicles.
Image

L-29 AT Gun Carrier ( anti-tank Gun carrier)
his version of the L-29 is fitted with a cluster of higher velocity 75mm recoilless anti-tank guns. Firing (HEAT)High Explosive Anti-Tank rounds or standard (HE) high explosive rounds. The vehicle can engage light armor and medium weight tanks. Providing infantry units with mobile rapid-fire to counter enemy armor.
Image

Both Vehicle have a crew of a Driver, Gunner, commander and two loaders. and carry a ready supply of rounds of several types in the rear compartment for rapid access. and thousands of rounds of 7.62mm rounds for the machineguns

I reworked the uniforms of GN's Royal Army. The orders are fairly obvious I hope, but from left to right:

Field dress (in the field); duty dress (in barracks and in the field); undress (in barracks, walking out); undress frock (in barracks, walking out, winter); dress (formal day occasions); undress mess (evening 'black tie' dress). Dress mess isn't shown. Left is officer, right is other ranks (serjeants and one corporal).

Because if it was a single it wouldn't be worth doing.

The better question is why would he zip in here and detract from my BM59-esque shenanigans.

The actions are independent. Original lever and extended cocking indicator-turned cocking lever operates the original action. The second cocking lever operates the extra action. No reason it wouldn't work mechanically.
