Raenir Salazar posted:I thought the rifles were bolt action though unless I'm misremembering. Gear shown seems to be taking an "inspired by actual events" angle, even if modifications have been made and it's not entirely accurate to our timeline. The Entente mages appear to be using the period-appropriate French RSC Model 1917/1918 semi-automatic rifle, or something related to it. Interestingly, Tanya's fellow mages actually seem to be using some variant of the Mondragón M1908. What's Germany doing with a Mexican rifle? Well, while it was designed by a Mexican, it was manufactured by the Swiss by SIG. Mexico canceled their order after receiving ~1,000 rifles, and Germany bought the remaining ~3,000 undelivered rifles in 1914. In reality they were never able to convert the rifles to the 8mm Mauser cartridge as intended, and the action wasn't really suited to life in the trenches (a trait shared by the RSC M1918 as well), but this was less of an issue in the German airship corps where it saw some limited use before machine guns became more prevalent.

Ranzear posted:Hah, I just thought they were really bad at drawing Mausers. There are definitely some anachronisms and other oddities here and there, like the SMG. The bombers in episode 6 might be another one, but my knowledge of pre-WW2 military aircraft is somewhat limited. They look kind of like a Russian Tupolev TB-1 crossed with a French DB-20, but it's much harder to find good pictures of planes that old than it is to find information on guns of the time period.

It might be the first real war with airborne anything. As for MG development, there are a bunch of reasons why I think they might become even more important, especially over time. For one, give the mage a machine gun and see what happens. We're just starting to see what that looks like with Tanya.

Nah, it's a Mondragon. Other shots make it pretty clear.

Raenir Salazar posted:Once again we get another anachronism in the form of what I think are distinctly Panzer III's (Sd.Kfz.142) which were also only first produced in 1939 (Designed in 1935).
