Lads Just as Tanks and Aircraft are being covered, it might be a good thing to start up a thread on infantry weapons. Heres two to start. Probably THE definitive post-war Assault Rifle : the AK-47 The AK site. Kalashnikov Home Page and here's an interesting US weapns system from the 60's : Mongo's Machine Gun Pages
...and a useful page on Mr Eugene Stoner, designer of the AR-15/M16 series of weapons: Eugene Stoner Designer Of The M16 / AR15 - Bob Tuley CS
Just looking over that page on the Stoner Assault rifle, it seems that one of the configurations has it looking like a Bren. Given that the weapon was used by the Special Forces in Vietnam, I wonder if there are any photos of the system being used in this format? http://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/stoner/bren.htm
