  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 Within the US Military, it would remain in use with subtle changes until the 1980s, being superseded by the Beretta M9. Incredibly, only now is it being outdated by any means in the present day, even 100 years after its initial conception, making it one of the most legendary, iconic, and timeless firearms in history.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. In the Second World War, Europe was wholly unprepared for Germany's invasions, and after the fall of France in 1940, it was immediately apparent to Great Britain that they wouldn't be able to sustain the war against Germany in their current state. As a result, many reforms and decisions were made to prepare the country for direct invasion, including the designation of emergency submachine guns. Among these designs was the STEN submachine gun, its name being an acronym of its designers and manufacturing company. It would soon become an iconic weapon for British forces in the war, seeing various changes and revisions from 1940 to 1945. Initially, emergency SMGs like the STEN were meant to replace the expensive Thompson Submachine Gun in service, which led to the initial STEN Mk. I. It featured a firerate of around 500 RPM and fired in 9mm Parabellum, and while it was one of the only firearms at that time with a folding vertical grip, it was also one of the only firearms with a wireframe stock, which was indicative of Britain's desperate situation. Despite being a step in the right direction, it was still a complicated design that wasn't simple enough to be manufactured quickly and cheaply in high capacity, leading to the improved Mk. II. Despite its contrasting differences to the Mk. I, the Mk. II is immediately the most recognizable variant of the STEN due to being the most highly produced variant throughout the entire war, improving issues with the Mk. I by being extremely cheap and easy to manufacture. However, it still had its problems, being more uncomfortable to handle due to lack of a suitable handguard, and its dirt cheap quality made it extremely vulnerable to malfunction. Despite this, it would persevere as a symbol of British efforts in the war. Eventually, the Mk. III was introduced, further simplifying the STEN design. However, despite being the second-most produced variant, it wasn't any better than the Mk. II in service, which naturally kept it out of the spotlight. While a Mk. IV variant was designed, featuring a built-in folding stock, wireframe pistol grip, and shorter barrel, it was barely manufactured due to even less practicality or effectiveness in combat, which was practically a no-go for a gun that was already somewhat ineffective. Instead, the Mk. V would be the final variant to enter service during WW2. Ultimately, this was the most suitable design of the entire war, as its late development meant that Britain was no longer as desperate for SMGs as they had been at the beginning of the war. It featured a wooden buttstock and grip, with an attached vertical grip in some instances. Because of its unrushed development, its the most practical variant through design quality alone. This Modelbench creation has all of these details combined into a singular model, and I highly recommend mixing and matching these details to create your own version of the STEN.

  5. 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.

  6. The Thompson Submachine Gun was a popular firearm that originated in the United States of America. It was used by civilians, police, and militaries alike since its conception by John T. Thompson before the end of the First World War, being inspired by Germany's MP18. Its most popular variant, the M1928 Thompson, typically featured a massive drum magazine able to hold up to 100 rounds of .45 ACP, and could even fire upwards of 800 rounds per minute. It also featured a vertical foregrip and compensator to handle its recoil. This variant also featured an adjustable rear sight. However, when the Second World War erupted, the United States and Great Britain found that the drum magazine was impractical in warfare. Although Britain would replace it with the Sten Submachine Gun, the US instead began developing a newer variant, being designated as the M1 Thompson halfway through the war. It simplified the original design by removing the compensator, replacing the foregrip with a horizontal handguard, and by lowering the fire rate to around 600 rounds per minute. However, the most significant changes to the M1928 were the repositioning of the bolt handle to the side, a heavily simplified iron sight system, and the complete removal of the ability to use drum magazines, only being fed by 30 and 20 round magazines. All in all, the Thompson was an incredibly successful submachine gun, even seeing lasting use by the US military into later conflicts during the Cold War, despite being officially replaced by the Grease Gun.

  7. 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!
  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).

  14. The DP28 (It appears we have western spy here, comrades.) The DP-27 was a Light Machine Gun that was created within the Soviet Union, where it had entered army trials in 1927, before its deployment in '28. It used the 7.62×54mm Rimmed cartridge (Same ammunition as the highly popular Mosin-Nagant bolt action rifle), usually with a 47 round pan magazine, fired at 550 rounds per minute, had an open-bolt design, and performed well during that era. It is best known for using the Pan Magazine format rarely found within firearms, and its use in the Second World War, as it is the last war the Soviet Union primarily used it in, before making further iterations of the same LMG, such as the RP-46.

  17. 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.

  20. HEY GUYS! I'M BACK! I have been inactive for a long time (about two months) and I decided to make an EPIC, VERY EPIC, like @Kreuzer's epic rigs. I MADE A SUPER, ULTRA, VERY, HIGHLY, LAGGY, 0-10FPS LAG IN the ff specs (even without render mode) : I made a Panzerkampfwagen III Ausfuhrung M rig It is super detailed and will make any device with an operating system lower than mine crash. Here are some pics of it: 7 WAYS TO SEE (+1 extra) For my comrades feel free to ask me if you want the tank rig as long as you are going to credit it to me and if I ever intend to release it in public. List of le comrades This is the hardest rig I've ever made and it took me 5 days to complete it. Kreuzer is my inspiration into making this rig. OH WAIT!!! It has no main gun ammo (no ammo racks), not my problem. This rig is mine please do not steal it.
