  1. Sometime during the early 1900s, the United States of America was searching for an automatic pistol to supply its military with, being a new firearm concept at the time. John Browning, an already prolific firearm designer, produced a pistol design that would be submitted by Colt's Manufacturing Company to directly compete with other tested handguns, including notable designs such as the Luger. The M1911 would eventually succeed as the adopted choice of handgun for the US Military, and is notable for having been in standard use for the rest of the 20th Century with minimal change. It's also one of the final Colt pistols to have been used by the US Military, having been supplied with revolvers from the aforementioned company as early as the mid-19th Century. It was chambered in .45 ACP with a 7-Round Magazine, but notably, was one of the first military pistols to allow chambering of an extra 8th round. Following its introduction, many automatic pistols from then to even the present day were inspired by this design and other pistols that Browning designed, such as the Browning Hi-Power. Within the US Military, it would remain in use with subtle changes until the 1980s, being superseded by the Beretta M9. Incredibly, only now is it being outdated by any means in the present day, even 100 years after its initial conception, making it one of the most legendary, iconic, and timeless firearms in history.

  2. The Browning Automatic Rifle was a select-fire machine gun that was designed by John Browning, who was known for their many other designs and influences in the firearms industry, and was used by the United States of America for half of the 20th Century. It was fed with a 20-round .30-06 Magazine, and could fire up to 600 rounds per minute. Initially designed for a marching-fire strategy made to accommodate automatic developments during the First World War, it would instead be used in various other applications such as trench-clearing, squad support fire, or for crimes outside of war altogether. Unlike other late automatic weapons that narrowly missed use in the war, such as the Thompson Submachine Gun, the BAR managed to see some use during the last moments of WW1. However, the war would end a few months after its arrival in Europe, and the BAR would see use elsewhere, whether as foreign variants used by other countries or for organized crime within the US. During the interwar period, however, the US would continuously revise the BAR's design without John Browning, eventually resulting in the M1918A2. This variant was often outfitted with a bipod, stock rest, and eventually a carry handle, intended to be used as a light machine gun for squad support by this point in time. It also had an internal rate reducer that could cut the firerate down to 400 rounds per minute if needed. This variant would see extensive use by the US during the Second World War, and eventually the Korean War. By the time that the US intervened in the Vietnam War, it already sought to replace the BAR with newer alternatives such as the failed M14 rifle, and ultimately, the more somewhat more successful M16 assault rifle and M60 light machine gun. By the 21st Century, the BAR would be phased out entirely from military service. Some additional features: Click here to download!
  3. The M1891 Mosin-Nagant rifle is possibly one of the most prolific bolt-action rifles in the world, being instantly recognizable in both name and look to many. It's popularity rose from its significant usage by Russians throughout half of the 20th Century, and its roles during the world wars as both a front-line infantry weapon and sniper rifle. Its design originates from multiple firearms being trialed by the Russian Empire, with its lead designers being Sergei Mosin, who was rising in the Russian military, and the Nagant Brothers, who were originally based in Belgium. During the trials, Mosin incorporated details and features from other rifles in his design, which was ultimately accepted as the 3-Line Rifle. However, Léon Nagant initiated a legal dispute with Mosin's design, which ultimately led to Russia compensating Nagant and the rifle being known as the M1891 Mosin-Nagant outside of Russia. It was fed with smokeless 7.62x54r ammunition, was often loaded with 5-round Stripper Clips, and allowed the attachment of a socket bayonet. Shortly after the turn of the 20th Century, the Mosin-Nagant's first main use would be in the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, which turned out to be a catastrophic failure for the Russian Empire. Shortly thereafter, Russia would become heavily involved with the outbreak of the First World War, and suffered severe and tragic losses while being directly fought by all of the Central Powers combined. Unfortunately, the Mosin-Nagant itself proved to be an ineffective rifle in combat, Due to weak war preparations, poorly-trained infantry, ineffective logistics, and ridiculously bad coordination, Russia performed so badly during WW1 that they practically ran out of Mosin-Nagant rifles halfway through the war, ultimately depending on Entente exported rifles while shifting weapon production to the United States of America. Eventually, the Russian Revolution forced Russia's surrender in 1917, and would eventually overthrow the government. The instated Soviet Union eventually took over production of the Mosin-Nagant, and made several modifications during the interwar period. One variant, the M91/30, became the rifle's most iconic variant to date, being based off of a previous Dragoon (cavalry) variant, and would see greater use in the Second World War than it did during WW1. During WW2, Russia lost even greater amounts of land than Russia did during WW1 as a result of Operation Barbarossa, seeing greater shortages than in WW1. However, Russia maintained production of the Mosin-Nagant, and managed to rebound from its weakest state unlike its previous leadership. During the war, the Mosin-Nagant was often outfitted with a new, but incredibly effective attachment known as a magnifying scope. The PU Scope was not the first optical scope used on Mosin-Nagant rifles, although its the most recognizable. It could magnify targets up to 3.5x, and perfected the rifle's long-reaching capabilities. Many marksmen and snipers used this scope during WW2, and managed to make a name for themselves with it. Overall, despite being often unreliable or unpredictable as a result of manufacturing quality, the Mosin-Nagant managed to maintain a somewhat unexpected reputation, being loved AND hated by many throughout the century.

  4. The Steyr M95 is a straight-pull bolt action rifle that was primarily used by Austria-Hungary until its collapse following the first world war, and used subsequently by a few nations, including those that were originally part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was initially chambered in 8×50mmR Mannlicher, feeding from a 5-round enbloc clip, which is fully inserted into the gun before closing the chamber. It also had the novelty of having a straight-pull bolt, removing two steps from the process of recycling the weapon. When the rifle reached its final round, it would eject the empty clip through the bottom, in a similar, albeit quiet fashion comparable to the later M1 Garand. The M95 would be used the most during the first world war, as Austria-Hungary, one of the major empires in the Central Powers, primarily fought against the Russian Empire and Kingdom of Italy while employing this rifle in standard service. Following the first world war, and the subsequent collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, many countries that either made up Austria-Hungary (including Austria and Hungary) would develop later variants of the M95, most still using the enbloc mechanism in different calibers.

  5. The Vetterli-Vitali is an Italian rifle that was in use from the 1870s until the end of the First World War. Having seen many revisions throughout its lifetime, it would ultimately see use alongside the Carcano rifle, a much more popular (and possibly infamous) design that was also used by Italy during WW1. This model is based off of the M1870/87 variant, which had a 4-round 10.4x47R magazine, which intriguingly, was fed by a large charger that was inserted directly into the chamber. This loading charger was very different to stripper clips, which would become the world standard during its time in service. The design wouldn't see many further improvements in Italy until 1915, when the rifle was rechambered for 6.5x52mm Carcano, the standard service caliber at the time, as a result of Italy's sudden entry into WW1. It replaced the magazine to accommodate 6-round enbloc clips, which were used by the Carcano rifle itself. I might model this variant soon. Download here!
  6. The Webley revolver is a popular revolver from the United Kingdom, and is primarily iconic for its use during the First and Second World War, and for being used by Indiana Jones in the renowned film franchise. History section is short due to short time, but will be improved soon. Model includes the Revolver, a Moonclip, and a WW1-era Speed Loader Download: Click Here!
  7. The Beretta 1918 was a versatile carbine developed during WW1 by the Kingdom of Italy. It was a unique firearm in that it not only was adopted prior to the MP18 in Germany, but was also made directly from the system of the Villar-Perosa, meaning one lightmachine gun could turn into two during production. It fired in 9mm Glisenti, had the same folding bayonet as an earlier Carcano carbine, and fired in semi-auto (This is not a mistake, the common "full-auto" portrayal is a myth pushed by both Battlefield 1 (Automatico 1918) and Enlisted (Beretta 1918/30) combined, when in reality, nearly none of the produced guns actually had such a function as it was not originally intended to be an SMG, looking up videos of the gun itself in action will show that there is no full-auto to begin with) Although it was made nearly at the end of the war, it still managed to produce 5,000 copies that were attempted to be used in front-line combat (and could have historically done so). Italy would later revise the gun as the Beretta 1918/30, to be used by police forces. Images: A download link may be found here: Click Here! Oddly enough, the ironsights are on the right side in real life, similar to the Owen gun
  8. The C96, designed by Paul Mauser in the obvious year of 1896, was an incredibly versatile and advanced pistol design ahead of its time. It is one of the most iconic semi-auto pistols ever made, mainly due to how far it had spread from its country of origin, the German Empire. It would see use all over the world from several different countries: Europe (Germany, Spain, Britain, Russia, Austria, Ottoman Empire if included) Asia (China) North and South America (United States, and several Latin-American countries along with Brazil) This was a pistol that was universally sought after, and had great success up until the Second World War, often equipped with a 10-round clip-fed internal box magazine. Images: Although users had some complaints of this gun (snappy recoil, odd weight balance, uncomfortable grip), this gun's overwhelming success cannot be ignored. It would also be heavily modifiable, boasting a common butt-stock attachment (which doubled as a holster), several caliber conversions, and even a full-auto variant (M712 Schnellfeuer).

  9. The Gewehr 98 was a rifle designed by the Mauser manufacturer in Germany, and had been designed back in 1895 for international use. Its biggest user was the German Empire itself, having finally adopted a variant in 1898. During WW1, it was chambered in 7.92x57mm (8mm Mauser) and was a very accurate platform for its time. It saw many changes throughout its lifespan, and evolved into several different variants to fit new tasks, such, but not limited to. Karabiner-98a its only ACTUAL carbine variant Karabiner-98b full length rifle disguised as a carbine to bypass the Treaty of Versailles after Germany had lost the war Karabiner-98k still a disguised rifle, but slightly shortened, hence the 'kurz' designation And from there, several variants for numerous countries all over the world One of the main criticisms of the G98 was its confusing distance adjustments, which resulted in its distinctive 'rollercoaster' sights. Although this isn't an issue for experienced shooters, and was a strangely common technique in that specific area (i.e. any Mannlicher rifle that isn't an M95), it can result in sight clarity issues, and make it harder for users to see their target. Many exported variants completely changed it, going for the more accessible 'ladder' sights, but the German military still chose to go with it regardless. Notice the distinctly obtuse 'rollercoaster' sights You may download it here for 0 francs

    MP 18, I

    Known to be the first commercially-successful Submachine Gun in history (Besides the rare Beretta Model 1918), the MaschinenPistole 18, I, was used by the German Empire's Sturmtruppen, in the final year of the First World War, 1918. From there, it would continue to be used in that area after the defeat and collapse of the German Empire, and was even reiterated as the MP 28, II ten years later. Instead of using its own original magazine, it originally fed by the Luger P08's magazines, Especially the 32-round TrommelMagazin 08, otherwise known as the Snail Drum, although it had poor reliability. Yes, that means you can put an actual 8-round Luger Magazine into it, but what kind of madman would do that?? Here's some images: ; Note: due to a texture bug, this bullet appears black, I have no idea why Note: Same issue here, along with the Magazine Well Download: https://www.mediafire.com/file/tkbgy93dxm4tb61/MP18.zip/file
  12. This rig was requested by @wafflecakes Fokker Dr. 1 Dreidecker, the famous "RED BARON" Spandau MG, there's no cockpit instruments any aircraft request? go here *** DON'T FORGET TO CREDIT ME IF USED *** download go to my page Do not confess that this model is yours! it's a heinous act
  13. This is my second gun rig, and I think it looks great. The Short Magazine Lee Enfield Mk. III (SMLE Mk III) saw extensive use during both World Wars (In the form of a later variant in the Second World War), and used to be standard issue in the British Empire. It can hold up to ten .303 British rounds, and although it was fed via magazine (which is also detachable, though not in this rig), they were generally loaded from the top using stripper clips (Now has one!), or even just round by round individually. It proved to be effective in trench warfare. Images: Tutorial: In the Body section there is a Moving Parts section. In that, there is a Main Bolt section. In that, there is a rotating bolt section. 1. Rotate the Rotating Bolt section -45 on the X axis 2. Pull the Main Bolt backwards 3. (Add bullet physics or reload) 4. Push Main Bolt Forwards (Along the way, push the cocking piece back slightly) 5. Rotate Rotating Bolt back to original position 6. Pull trigger (duh) 7. Make Cocking Piece fly forward 8. Repeat Also before I forget, here's the download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i0em4vii9gc12fj/SMLE_Mk_III.miobject/file Was looking at the rig again and decided it was a bit too thicc.
