Talk:30 Cases of Major Zeman

MP38

Look. It's not the MP40. It's the MP38, because this SMG has longitudinal grooving on the receiver

In this movie used MP38 and MP40 SMGs. Note the difference :)

MP38. longitudinal grooving on the receiver and hole in magazine receiver

MP40. smooth receiver and ribbed magazine receiver

Unknown rifle

Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbine? --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:17, 17 September 2012 (EDT)

Thank you so much. Pavel Blaha says in this scene: "SIG rifles are a good brand, but a real expert would selected this "Mauser" and picks up the rifle. Perhaps it is the Mannlicher.--Pandolfini (talk) 11:51, 17 September 2012 (EDT)

I almost posted a message here to pre-emptively state that it wasn't a Schoenauer, as I suspected that someone would think it was based on the matching muzzle and full length stock. Look at the bolt handle, it is in the wrong place for a Schoenauer. I think it might be a Mauser 98 Sporter in a Mannlicher stock, but am not sure. --commando552 (talk) 12:10, 17 September 2012 (EDT)

Blaha is a guest of the owner Zbrojovka Brno. And he produces under license. It's about this product - [1]--Pandolfini (talk) 12:32, 17 September 2012 (EDT)

Two more versions: 1) Brno Model 22F; 2) Mauser "Special Rifle Type A". Greg-Z (talk) 12:38, 17 September 2012 (EDT)

I think there are actually 3 different rifles being used here. On the first (episode 5) the rear of the bolt is a plain cylinder, the second (scoped) has the back of the bolt being typical of a Mauser 98, and the third (episode 10) has a much larger front sight and a more pronounced rear sight along with the whole of the action being generally chunkier. I think the first rifle could possibly be a BRNO Model 22F (barrel band is wrong for the reference pictures but this might vary), but the other two are not. --commando552 (talk) 14:14, 17 September 2012 (EDT)
