And guess from where the finns got the guns from? Trying to make a point or what?

They got lots of M.1902 guns from Russian Empire time ;)
Same with Mosin rifles.
Also Poland have lots of M.1902 guns from same source, but they convert guns to 75-mm ammo. M1902 field guns have "Orthodox" nickname in polish army.

Taranov, you disappoint me so much sometimes. Learn to pick out sarcasm.

Dornier DO-217E-2 whit Lorin Ramjet.

I wonder how that airplane could fly so fast, it wasnt designed for such speed.

Looks backwards! Most jets have the pointy end is on the back.

Flippy: Taranov's first language isn't English, cut him a break. Russians don't have the ability to detect it. :(

If anyone has the picture of the German firing an MG42 from the hip handy, I'd appreciate it if you could post me a link. Cheers.

Anyone?

I think this is as close as you're going to get:

Thanks mate, but it was definitely a war-time pic of a German during Bulge firing an MG42 and standing completely straight. Thanks though.

I always thought that the early Heinkel and Donier series was much nicer then the later ones when they removed the nose of the plane and made it blunt in the case of the Donier, and just a greenhouse cone in the case of the Heinkel....
