Equally Vietnamy as well as WW2-
In lieu of an off-the-shelf Carl Gustav M45, here's my little effort....Based on an ICS M3:



All your silent sentry removal needs....

VERY front heavy now- it's an all steel unit I've had machined and custom blued...

Just to show everyone it's a slip on/slip off unit- single grub screw means I can convert back to the usual M3 style in seconds.

Re: WWII guns...

Like this alot mate, what battery are you using by the way? As i can see you are using a battery in a M1 carbine pouch or 1911 mag pouch (cant really see with the pictures) I was worried about "power" so I upgraded mine all with systema energy parts and use a Gold Peak 7.2v 1300 mah battery which i manage to conceal in the gun. It fires aprox 345-350 FPS and lasts about 2k rounds before needs changing over.

Re: WWII guns...

It's an FFD pouch (like the ones you see mounted high on the yoke on M56 gear)- I run an 8.4v 1500mah pack with all stock internals- I'm getting 2000 odd rounds from a charge, running at 310fps consistent... Range is excellent with it.

Incidentally, I've moved that pouch onto the sling and concealed a longer battery wire behind it to make an ersatz battery sling that doesn't detract from the period look.

My only real complaints are to do with the Greaser's idiosyncratic design and not the fault of the ICS copy- You can't get as low to the ground with the long mag as you can with an XM177 or M16a1 and the supressor makes it very nose heavy for the firs 5-10 minutes you handle it.

Finally got my PPK. ACM, but with a Maruzen magazine.

Re: WWII guns...

Can't see the pics at the moment (work PC lockdown), but if it's a PPK/S, it's not WW2 - They were first made in the 1960s to get around a US import ban on pistols below a certain size.

Close enough for a "look-alike", though.

Re: WWII guns...

I know, mate, but you can't get a PPK and the difference is in the width. PPK/S is a PPK slide and barrel on a PP frame, basically. It was done to make it heavier so it could be exported to the USA

Re: WWII guns...

ref the china ppks,i have one and love it but always wanted to know if the serial no was unique and looking at your's it is so that's pretty cool for a cheep gun.i even love the slightly rubber feel to the grips that feels nice.

Re: WWII guns...

Yes, I thought that was cool for a chinese clone.

Re: WWII guns...

Re: WWII guns...

Some beautiful weapons on here guys. I think my first WWII is either going to be a MP40 or a Stg .44 :D I love both of them, especially the way they look. What's really got me wanting the Stg .44 is seeing some of the artificially weathered ones that look like they've actually seen the last days of the Fascist Reich !
