No.
Its the Mauser Tankgewehr.
13,2x92mm.
Its essentially an upscaled bolt-action rifle meant for disabling WW1 tanks.
The woman is small but the rifle is also very large.
Re: ..Guns Guns & More Guns
I figured it had to be something military because the look of the barrel band front sight.
Funny that it doesn't look like a Mauser action. Can't really tell front the pic but it looks to be a push feed type of action which is not typical of a mauser.

Look at the stocks size, it would be hard for any regular sized man to shoulder the thing, not that you would get me to try.
I figured it was a tank gun for the size, just didn't know what it was.

I did a little research on that thing and the pic does look shopped. Either that or the woman is as you say.."a midget".Blue Frost wrote: ↑January 11th, 2023, 3:16 pm I'm sticking with the midget in a closet comment

Apparently those 13mm rifles were big and needed to be fired from a bipod but that looks enormous. Also, I'm highly suspect as to it's effectiveness. Maybe it could damage the tin can mechanized armor of WWI but I doubt it could do very much against the later tank designs of the 3Os and 40s.

Re: ..Guns Guns & More Guns
Better perspective, and I think the gun was around 5'7".
They could tank out tanks, the big part was the round bouncing around inside the tank hitting the crew.

The gun is probably around 8 inches longer than she is.Renee wrote: ↑January 12th, 2023, 10:53 amI did a little research on that thing and the pic does look shopped.

She is the optimal height.

She might not be a midget, but shes close, and more like a foot, and a half shorter than the gun.
She might be 5 foot, might.

It was effective against British mark IV tanks which were the best at the time.
Some of the early 30´s tanks were too lightly armored... This rifle would have probably penetrated some of them.

Look at the guys coming out of the hole... There like half dressed.. And there is a guy peering out from the deep dark recesses with a maniacal grim on his face. WTF was going on in that trench?... Never mind I don't really want to know...
On a more normal note they are smoking pipes... I hate the smell of most tobacco but I love the smell of pipe tobacco. My grandfather smoked a pipe and as a kid I couldn't get enough of the smell. The smell was so comforting and homey.

Re: ..Guns Guns & More Guns
The WW1 pics often look haunting.
Its the black and white coloring... And the remastering often brings out the white in their eyes.
And you would think the trenches were full of 50+ year old men.
The two dudes holding the T-Gewehr are probably 23 years old.

The guys with the rifle look like officers. They have ties on and clean uniforms. They are probably older than 23.
Judging from your posting time... You were up late last night.... Too cold to sleep? I guess up there around the artic circle this time of year it's pretty fucking cold.

Re: ..Guns Guns & More Guns
That's likely the command bunker, and those are officers most likely.
I tried measuring that girl on the photo last night, I came up with 4 feet 8 inches, midget about fits her.
The gun is a good foot taller than her, but that's just a guess, maybe her lower leg's are longer than I estimated.
At the Patton Museum they had anti tank guns about 10 feet long, but those where for WW2 tanks.
A lot more updated looking also.

The costs just increase the colder it gets outside.
Its a German trench and I´m guessing they were looking through stuff and throwing them out of the bunker.
The stuff on the ground is German.
The guy on the right has letters "N" and "Z" on his helmet... New Zealand.
I believe the insignia on his helmet is the artillery cap badge.

Congress just gave themself in that big spending bill I think 2.5 million a piece for security, I have to ask why, and why not spend that on our protection from their failed policies.

My electricity went from dirt cheap to cheap as hell.

If that is what they want, then they are playing with fire. If it comes down to bullets, the George Floyd riots will look like a walk in the park in comparison. An ideological civil war will be a disaster of epic proportions. It will be the end of the so called American experiment. And perhaps that's not such a bad thing considering what it has become....Blue Frost wrote: ↑January 15th, 2023, 6:30 pmRenee I think thats what they want, they are just seeing how far they can push us first.Renee wrote: ↑January 15th, 2023, 5:51 pmThe would change their tune real fast if we start shooting them.

A lot of people are pissed off and Trump keeps pouring gasoline on the fire. Unless this new house majority starts reigning in the communist agenda (and lets call it what it is, shall we?) shit in this country is going to explode.
