These are just a few of the weapons you can use. Feel free to use any WWII-era weapon.
Boys .55 antitank rifle - The Boys .55 inch Antitank rifle is a top fed, bolt action rifle that was introduced in 1937. It is used by Lynnette Bishop in a DMR role in the anime. It was designed by Cpt HC Boys and was Manufactured in Britain by the B.S.A.
MG-42 (Maschinengewehr 42) - The MG-42 is used by a number of witches. In the 501st JFW, It is used by Trude, Erica, Minna and Eila. The MG-42 as depicted in the series is slightly but significantly different than the weapon as it actually was; it uses a saddle drum magazine based on that of the MG-15 (This is similar in apperance to a Beta C-mag). Aircooled variants of the MG-15 were issued by the Luftwaffe with this type of magazine. However, the MG-15 is a top feeding system while the MG-42 feeds from the side; the saddle-drum type magazine blocks the ejection port of the weapon.
Suomi KP/-31 (Suomi-konepistooli) - A submachine gun (SMG) of Finnish design that was in service during World War II. The Suomi KP/-31 is regarded by many as one of the most successful submachine guns of World War II and it was so successful that many of its features (including the soon developed 71-round drum magazine) were later copied and adopted by the Soviets for their PPD-40 and PPSh-41 submachine guns.[2] The accuracy compared to the mass-produced PPSh-41 was superior however, thanks in part to a noticeably longer barrel, with the same rate of fire and the equally large magazine capacity.
Bren light machine gun - The Bren was a modified version of a Czechoslovak-designed light machine gun, the ZB vz. 26, which British Army officials had tested during a firearms service competition in the 1930s. The later Bren featured a distinctive curved box magazine, conical flash hider and quick change barrel. The name Bren was derived from Brno, the Czechoslovak city where the Zb vz. 26 was originally designed, and Enfield, site of the British Royal Small Arms Factory).
M1919 Browning machine gun - The M1919 Browning is a .30 caliber medium machine gun that was widely used during the 20th century. The M1919 was an air-cooled development of the standard US machine gun of World War I, the Browning M1917, as designed by John M. Browning. The weapon originally fired the .30 cal M1906 ball cartridge, and later the .30 caliber M2 ball cartridge, contained in a woven cloth belts, feeding from left to right. A metallic link was later adopted, forming a "disintegrating" belt.
Beretta Model 38 - The Model 38 and its variants were the official submachine guns of the Italian Army during World War II. The MAB 38A (Moschetto Automatico Beretta Modello 1938A), or Modello 38A, was introduced in 1938. The guns were also used by German, Romanian, and Argentine armies of the period.
Breda-SAFAT machine gun - Breda-SAFAT was a series of machine guns used on Italian aircraft during World War II. The machine gun came in 7.7mm (0.303-inch) and 12.7mm (0.50-inch) variants. The 7.7mm variant was similar to the M1919 Browning machine gun and could use some types of .303 British ammunition. The 12.7mm version could fire a high-explosive-incendiary-tracer (HEIT) round with 0.8 grams of PETN. It was also provided armor-piercing (AP).
MP-40 - Germany was the first country in World War II to field low-cost a mass-produced machine pistol (submachine gun). The MP-38/MP-40 series were issued throughout the Wehrmacht, but the main combat users were army NCOs and officers. The MP-40 saw extensive use with Fallschirmjagers, Panzergrenadiers and motorcycle troops but was most commonly seen with squad leaders and NCOs. Something of MP-40 versatility and combat effectiveness tells of the extensive use of captured MP-40 among resistance fighters and Allied troops.
Mauser Kar 98k - The Karabiner 98 Kurz (often abbreviated Kar98k, K98, or K98k) was a bolt-action rifle adopted as the standard infantry rifle in 1935 by the German Wehrmacht,[1] and was one of the final developments in the long line of Mauser military rifles.
AK-47 - The AK-47 is a selective fire, gas operated 7.62x39mm assault rifle, first developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. The designation AK-47 stands for Kalashnikov automatic rifle, model of 1947. It is therefore also known as Avtomat Kalashnikova (or simply 'AK'), Kalashnikov or Russian jargon Kalash).
Walther PPK - The Walther PPK, the Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell (Police Pistol Detective Model), indicating it was more concealable than the original PP and hence better suited to plainclothes or undercover work. It is a smaller version of the PP (Polizeipistole) with a shorter grip and barrel and lesser magazine capacity. Sometimes, the name Polizeipistole Kurz (Short Police Pistol) is given, but is incorrect. The PP was released in 1929 and the PPK in 1931; both popular with European police and civilian shooters, for being reliable and concealable. During World War II they were issued to the German military and police, the Luftwaffe, and Nazi Party officials: Adolf Hitler killed himself with his PPK in the Fuhrerbunker in Berlin. The PP and the PPK were among the world's first, successful double action semi-automatic pistols that were widely copied, but still made by Walther.
Sten Mark II - The Sten was a family of British 9mm sub-machine guns used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces through World War II and the Korean War. Over 4 million Stens in various versions were made in the 1940s. The Sten MK (or Mark) II was the widely produced version of the popular British Sten series of sub-machine gun with over two million produced in just three years during the war. The Sten-series a a whole was based on the principle of cheap design and production - both affable factors during wartime production. The Sten was a no-frills weapon system and designed for close combat. The Mk II was a more refined version of the Mk I and built to be lighter and smaller than its predecessor. The entire system was basically built around the tube barrel, with even the butt of the fun being simple bent tubing. Operation of the weapon was smooth ans the weapon was simple enough to break sown quickly, which was important to special forces operatives and paratroopers alike. The 30 round magazine proved sufficient (though it was engineered to accept 32 total rounds, this was generally disregarded to protect from excessive wear and tear on the magazine spring).
Webley Revolver - The Webley Revolver (also known as the Webley Break-Top Revolver or Webley Self-Extracting Revolver) was, in various marks, the standard issue service pistol for the armed forces of the United Kingdom, the British Empire, and the Commonwealth from 1887 until 1963.
The Webley is a top-break revolver with automatic extraction; breaking the revolver open for reloading also operates the extractor, removing the spent cartridges from the cylinder. The Webley Mk I service revolver was adopted in 1887, but it was a later version, the Mk IV, which rose to prominence during the Boer War of 1899–1902. The Mk VI, introduced in 1915 during the First World War, is perhaps the best-known model.
Enfield Revolver - Enfield Revolver is the name applied to two totally separate models of self-extracting British handgun designed and manufactured at the government-owned Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield; initially the .476 calibre (actually 11.6 mm)[1] Revolver Enfield Mk I/Mk II revolvers (from 1880–1889), and later the .38/200 calibre Enfield No. 2 Mk I (from 1923–1957). The .476 calibre Enfield Mk I and Mk II revolvers were the official sidearm of both the British Army and the Northwest Mounted Police—as well as being issued to many other Colonial units throughout the British Empire—and the later model .38/200 Enfield No. 2 Mk I revolver was the standard British/Commonwealth sidearm in the Second World War, alongside the Webley Mk IV and Smith & Wesson Victory Model revolvers chambered in the same calibre. The term "Enfield Revolver" is not applied to Webley Mk VI revolvers built by RSAF Enfield between 1923 and 1926.
MG-15 - The MG-15 was a German 7.92 mm (0.31 in) machine gun designed specifically as a hand manipulated defensive gun for combat aircraft during the early 1930s. By 1941 it was replaced by other types and found new uses with ground troops. The MG 15 fires from an open bolt meaning that the bolt stays back when the gun is ready to fire. Pulling the trigger releases the bolt and allows it to go forward, stripping a round from the magazine. If the trigger is held down the cycle will continue. If the trigger is released the bolt will remain in the rearward position. The 75 rounds of ammunition was evenly distributed in each side of the magazine with a central feed "tower" where the ammunition is fed to the bolt.
Boys .55 antitank rifle - The Boys .55 inch Antitank rifle is a top fed, bolt action rifle that was introduced in 1937. It is used by Lynnette Bishop in a DMR role in the anime. It was designed by Cpt HC Boys and was Manufactured in Britain by the B.S.A.
