Website on KW Small arms

[Woodard]

We were discussing this on the Chinese Weapons thread, so I figured I'd post this website. The whole website is full of good stuff, this is the link to the small arms portion.

Great site! I've been using it as a reference for a couple years now.

It's a good site, but has some errors on it. For example, on the page on captured North Korean weapons, it mentions "In addition, unlike the US, the communists had smokeless powder." ummm.... NO. They must be thinking of the British during the Boer war, who had that problem. Smokeless powder went out with the trapdoor Springfield.

Of course I'm old fashioned when it comes to research, and don't trust the internet too much. If it's in a book it must be true!

Yeah...this website helped me, I think, decide against buying one of IMAs 3.5 rocket launchers. At a glance you think "hey, cool, its just missing the bipod...". But no...comparing photos of the 3.5" in Korea with the ones on IMA, I can only conclude that IMA has later production bazookas. The stocks are different (besides differing in how they attach, the stock doesn't have a monopod), other small pieces are different. So, it looks like I may not buy one after all.
