On the other hand, said arrow would also have a good chance of just passing right through.

...maybe Ian has a video on something like these?

>>32485307
He actually does, the bottom one is the Guycot chain pistol.
Just saw the video like 2 hours ago so it's fresh in my mind

As we move on to the rather older things, a lot of it are reproductions. I guess the originals are mostly to be found in the British Museum... Now while old Greek and Roman stuff is a bit out of my comfort zone, some of them seemed a bit odd to me. Then we got to the middle ages and, well, this thing. So the accuracy of the various reproductions cannot be trusted.

>>32485430
Nice.

Great thread OP. Love this kind of stuff

I have some memory of something pimped out, but my camera battery didn't last that long.

>>32485839
Wait, was it just sitting in the open? If it was i'd totaly act like a nigger and pick it up.

As far as I sew, yes. Maybe it's been bolted to the chest or something, but there certainly wasn't anything between it and me. A degree of civilisation appears to have been expected of the visitors.

>>32485873
oh I picked it up, it was a bloody good feeling.

>>32485839
I believe there was also one with a tripod

>>32485907
Could you operate the charging handle? Or everything was welded and cemented?

>>32485923
aaaaah there we go, brings back memories of getting shit faced in Athens. I wanted to start screaming in german when I saw it, but my friend would have thought im a lunatic

>>32485928
if I remember correctly it was all cemented. It was just one big paperweight, still felt good due to it being a genuine WW2 gun

>>32485959
Yeah i can imagine, i often think about buying deactivated WWII machine gun. Just so i could walk around the house with it when nobody's home.

I once had a dream where I had been dragged along to play airsoft of all things. There was a good amount of good, practical "weapons" to choose from. But then there was the flame-thrower, even if only filled with water. Didn't really leave you much of a choice.

Let's add a saif and a nimcha to the Indian weapons and see if anyone notices.

And that's the image limit. Whole pack, including what I couldn't fit here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/q5vh09pwj5f5xcv/Athens_-_Army_Museum.zip

Interesting mix of stuff.
Thank you for posting these.

Nice thread, I really enjoyed the pictures

Thanks for the pics, OP. They're nice.

Thanks OP, I really get a hard on for blunderbusses and all antique firearms

>>32485136
greek katanas?

>>32492652
Japanese, they had weapons from near and far.

>>32492665
What is the context? Were they gifted?

>>32492670
Nothing said about it that I can recall. I guess they just want weaponry from all around in the collections.
