Hope Im right, but is it the .45 Revolver, that was used in WWI?

[Syphon]

Well, am I correct?

[2nd Rangers]

I know the US did consider the Luger but did not feel the 9mm was a large enough round for military use. I believe a batch of Lugers were produced in .45ACP and tested by the Army.

For the Airborne question, I would say musette bag. Musette bag is another term for the 1936 Haversack it was issued along with the 1936 suspenders used by the Airborne and officers. The US didn't issue a bread bag along the lines of the German equivalent, and riggers modification is more a generic term for any of the many little modifications that were made to Airborne equipment. I'm not sure there really is a correct answer for this one as there was a lot of variation from soldier to soldier as to how and where they carried their equipment.

2nd Rangers, you know your WWII. Glad to see we have people in these forums who know what the hell they are talkin about...

The correct answer IS B, the Musette bag. The M1936 Haversack was givin to Ground Infantry. It couldent of been the ABN because they are friggin pistol belt pouches, and can hold 2 fragmentation grenades each. As for the Bread Basket, that was a German field gear item.

In my personal opinion, I like the Musette Bag a hell of alot better than the Haversack. In fact, I own a Musette bag as apart of my reenactment uniform field gear (Looks awsome when youve got it hooked up to your web gear and 10 pouch bandoleer belt...)

In fact, I own both a Haversack and a Musette bag, and to be honest, the Musette bag carries a SHIT load of things. About 2 rifle nades, 2 K Ration boxes, 2 morphine needles, a Gammon grenade, an anti tank mine, boxers, shaving brush, pack of cigs (Dont worry, I dont use em) a wool shirt, and alot more at the SAME TIME...

So congrats 2nd Rangers, you get a free "dick kiss" from Ms. Jameson herself...and if you dont know who she is, I HIGHLY recommend you download some of her...um..."works of art"
