Chip Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 The issue I.O.D. '89 is really nice. You see a unit marked one, for every 50 examples. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixjune1944 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hello all, I recently joined this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I love MG08's and 08/15's and have been collecting the various bits and bobs associated with them, and will probably end up in debtor's prison... Here is my 08/15 and a few doodads.

Nope, but I am guessing that a lot of their training course revolved around that book on indirekt fire ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hello Chris and the other Gentlemen , here in Argentina our Army used the German handbook for indirect fire with MGs translated to Spanish . with modifications relative to the main MG in use ,the 1917 28 Colt Browning water cooled in 7.65 mauser. from 1925 to 1978 the handbook was in use . the Colt Browning was in use until 1970 ,then replaced with the FN MAG in 7,62 NATO, but remained in service for the Movilization Bataillons , Well ,i forgot the indirect fire . as it was put in practice according the German handbook it was highly lethal ,specially against troop concentrations that believe to be safe benhind a ridge or a wood and a distances up to 3000 yards .
