Fair enough good sir! Like I said, I mean no disrespect towards anyone, and I am by no means a historian, more of an enthusiast. I'm a full blooded German and though I definitely wasn't there, I can say its one of the not so great to be a German feelings. There were some who did stand up and say what they did was wrong, but not nearly enough and THAT'S why I'm sorry.
 
With your permission boss, I'd like to list the weapons Poles used, as well as describe them a bit. American and Soviet weapons are bound to run out a lot faster than their weapons simply from scarcity. It'll give a good variety.
 
Sasha and Alfons sittin' in a tree...Ahem, I mean welcome aboard!
 
By all means, I know we're going to be running out of .45 acp and the like after this fight... -chuckle-
 
Alrighty! On it! *Suddenly appointed weapon specialist.*
 
Since everyone has there orders, would it be fine if I was in a different house or apartment across the street or right next door?
 
Sure! A new person to the party even!
 
Okay, so. I've been appointed to list all the munitions the Poles used in WWII. I will start with grenades, then rifles, sub-machine guns, ACTUAL machine guns and so on. Some of these WILL be from WWI because Poland was no where near equipped to fight the German Blitzkrieg.

There are no assault rifles. The Germans made the first assault rifle--ever. It was the Sturmgewehr 44 otherwise called an MP44(Maschinenpistole 44 respectively) . And you guessed it, it was developed around 1944.

Defensive grenade wz.33

The granat obronny wz. 33 (Polish for defensive grenade, mark 33) was a fragmentation grenade used by the Polish Army before and during World War II.
The shell casing was molded from cast iron and formed into a pineapple-shaped oval, typical of World War II-era hand grenades. More specifically it was modeled after earlier Polish grenades of 1920's (such as the Defensive grenade wz.24), which in turn were based on French World War I F1 grenade.

It was fitted with wz.Gr.31 percussion fuse. To increase reliability, the grenade had two blasting caps and two strikers. The casing was produced in one of three factories, a letter on the casing denoting the producer (K for Końskie, M for Warsaw and W for Wilno).
The Polish name for the grenade was because the blast radius of shrapnel often exceeded 100 meters and the grenade had to be thrown from a defensive position, such as a trench or from behind a wall. Two such grenades as well as two wz.24 offensive grenades were standard military equipment for all enlisted soldiers.

===================================================================
Filipinka (also Wańka, Perełka) was an unofficial, yet common name for the ET wz. 40 hand grenade produced for the Armia Krajowa during World War II in occupied Poland. It was partially based on his pre-war design of an ET wz. 38 anti-tank grenade. The Filipinka was an offensive impact grenade, cylindrical in shape. In the upper part of the shell a screw for the fuse was located. Coating of the first series (roughly 4,000 produced) was made of Bakelite, which shattered without producing fragments like a metal-bodied grenade. Later the shell was replaced with a metal impress. The filling was composed mostly of home-made explosives, either cheddite or ammonal. At times explosives from German air bombs and artillery shells, as well as British plastic explosive delivered through air bridges was used. The grenade was equipped with a contact fuse which functioned on impact with the target.

The coating was painted with various colors to allow for easier usage in resistance service and easier hiding. throughout the war approximately 240,000 grenades of this type were produced. Many of them were used in various battles of the Operation Tempest, including the Warsaw Uprising.
​
Sidolówka (pron. seedoloofka) was an unofficial, yet common, name of the R wz. 42 hand grenade, produced by the Polish resistance organization Armia Krajowa in occupied Poland during World War II.

The name of the grenade came from Sidol, a metal-cleaning agent from Henkel sold in Poland at the time. The first grenades used the Sidol bottles as the casing. Later on the casing was purposely modeled after the bottle in order to allow for easier hiding of the weapon.

It was partially based on an earlier design of the Filipinka grenade, also of underground construction, which in turn was based on a pre-war Polish ET-38 anti-tank grenade. The primer and the detonator were designed by two engineers of the pre-war Polish munition works in Warsaw, pyrotechnician Władysław Pankowski and engineer Józef Michałowski.

It was a fragmentation grenade with a P-42 friction primer and a 4.5 second delay time. Until the end of the World War II, an estimate of 350,000 R-42 were produced in Polish underground factories. A large number of such grenades were used in the Warsaw Uprising and other battles of the Operation Tempest.

Good! Wasn't gonna shoot my uncle or cousin for noth ya know!

<-------German.
 
Hey... they're Wermacht... so... enemies even if family!
 
Hey! Warmacht was awesome! So were Panzers!

Warmacht= (Defence Force)—from German: wehren, to defend and Macht, power, force, cognate to English 'might'

It consisted of the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force).

'Panzer' means either tank (the military vehicle) or armour. It is occasionally used in English and some other languages as a loanword in the contexts of German military.

It is commonly used in proper names of military divisions (Panzerdivision, 'panzer division', 4th Panzer Army, etc.), in proper names of tanks, such as Panzer IV, etc.

Whenever you see a 'Pzkfw'' it stands for Panzerkampfwagen, 'tank' or literally 'armoured combat vehicle'. So: "Panzerkampfwagen IV".

The modern synonym is 'Kampfpanzer', or just 'Panzer' though.
 
P.S I am in no way shape or form condoning the condemnation of those my people killed or tortured. That weighs on me quite heavily in fact.

I simply am admiring the germans innovatios of the period. They were so far ahead of everyone--One tiger tank could knock out American/Brittish/Canadian Shermans from well over a mile away. The MG 42 fired 1600 rounds a minute and they could swap barrels in just a few seconds (Which is exactly the time you should attack them.) and keep firing.

The Bismark was massive, Tiger tanks could only be knocked out from behind because their armor was so damn dense. These are just a few interesting facts.

Look at at that beauty! German engineering baby! The Abrams was derived from the Leopard II. ^^
 
I won't lie, German weapons are gun porn.
 
XDDDDD

"That's it...right there." (Short period later...) "Well fuck! Gotta swap barrels." (Puts in new barrel.) "Son of a bitch its tight! How the hell did that even fit?!"

MG42---I know, you know you want one. ; )
 
You have no idea how much I want one... hell I nearly died when I held a gewehr 43...
 
Ooooooh yeahhhhh. Cartridfe fed rifle. Alot like M1 Carbine the Americans used.It fired a bigger round than the M1 (8mm-7.9mm).

Fallschirmjäger liked to use them. They also used the awesome FG 42. And that my friend was considered on of THE most advanced weapons in the war.

Most notebly however, the worlds most famous, relieble gun came originially from Germany. It was the Sturmgewehr 44 or MP44. The worlds first assault rifle.
 
As much as I love the concept of the FG 42, the magazine was just much too small for it's fire rate.
