Wife likes to watch movies over and over. In the movie Tarzan the Legend tonight at beginning of movie, military were using rifles I'm not familiar with. Need some education here. machine gun I believe to be a Vickers.
The rifles used were M1889 Schmidt-Rubin.
Also M1898/38 Turkish Mauser.
Then there is the 1907-16 Berthier Mle.
The Machine Guns were 1895 Maxim.
And the handguns held by George Washington Williams were Colt 1851 Navy .38 cal.
Your good. Being beginning of movie was in England, I just figured they were prior to No 1 MkIs. The rest at a glance I thought they might be Swedish Ks.
No, it was an MP-18. Although later a 20 round box magazine was made for it, originally it was specified to take a Luger "snail drum" magazine. It was not until the snail drum was found to badly unbalance the gun that the 20-rounder was developed.
