Neat ! The KM did at times fight as a ground force. E.g. Norway in 1940 after the UK sunk @ 10 of their Destroyers. |

Very nice, but should that machine gun be feeding from the other side? |

Pretty awesome looking! P. |

Something of a schoolboy error. I don't think it's reversed picture, either |

Oops ! |

Which ones were they? The British GPMG that I fired fed from the left. Never fired them but images show the M60, .30 and .50 cals feeding from the left. Unless those images were reversed of course. |

Yes AFAIK all the Maxim derived MG's fed from the right, which included the MG08 and the Vickers. |

Glad you like them boys!. (smile) Amicalement Armand |

Looking at the pic I am wondering if the ammo belt is a seperate casting. If so you could glue it on the other side which would work ok. |

Interestingly, the regular German line of figures they have, has the correct direction of feed for Germans 8: Greatcoated MG-08 team: link

I'm thinking it is a separate casting … |

Which ones were they? The link says MG 08 and those fed from the right:
My reply was to a post which was subsequently changed, thereby altering the apparent meaning of what I wrote. |

Yes, I changed that post after I did some research … As my comment was inaccurate. As I said my memory ain't what it used to be. And with things like loading/reloading weapons, etc., those became a reaction vs. actually having to think about it. I'm sorry if there was any confusion, etc. … I had a Homer Simpson "DOH" moment !!!! |
