A group of Russian history enthusiast from a search team called 'Yuri Gagarin' publishes videos of excavations of WW2 relics. In several videos published on their YouTube channel, they have recorded how they retrieve many really well-preserved firearms and other items from a swamp.
The Breda 35, Oto 35 and SRMC 35 were three offensive grenades issued to the italian Army. They were offensive bomb, because they were throw by the soldiers during an assault, so that the area of the burst was very limited, about 10 metres. The body of those grenades was built in alluminium. They were painted in red, and for this reason they were called Red Devils by the Commonwealt troops. The fucile mitragliatore Breda 30 was the light machine gun of the Italian Army fusiliers squad. It fired the italian standard ammo 6.5x52 This LMG has a great problem, it has a fleeble primary extraction, so that the cartridge needs to be oiled, and with the desert sand they often jammed, while in Russia during winter time the oil become very dense, compromising the efficience of the weapon. It had a fixed 20 cartridges magazines, and it was needed a strip to reload it, and during fighting action this was a severe handicap. The beretta M1934 was the ordnance semi-automatic pistol of the Italian Army, it fired the 9x17 cartridge (.380 ACP) , it was light and very well done, but underpowered as military weapon, there was also the Beretta M1935 7,65 × 17 mm Browning (.320 ACP), used mostly by the Regia Marina and by the Regia Aeronautica (Royal Navy and Royal Air Force). The old Glisenti cal 9x19 mm had been the ordnance automatic pistol issued during the Great War, but had limited use in WW2, the cartrige looks like the 9x19 mm parabellum, but it had a reduced charge, because this sidearm was designed with a short recoil operating system, not suited for such a powerful ammunition. The Mannlicher Carcano was adopted in 1891, it was a bolt action rifle, it fired a 6.5x55 rimless cartridge. In period of peace among the two war was developed a new cartridge in 7.35x51, because the old cartridge was a little underpowered and was considered inadequate in a modern war, but the italian arsenal and industries couldn’t fulfill the huge amount of weapons needed for the molibilization of the army, and the project was suspended. There were different types of this rifle, the old 91, the new shortened version 91/38, various musketry and the new model 91/41 issued to the troop sent to Russia. The Moschetto Automatico Beretta 38A was a long and sturdy sub-machine gun, but it was realiable and very well done, it fired the 9x19 parabellum cartridge; during war was produced a shorter and less expansive version, the Beretta 38A/42, widely used also by German troops. Before the Cassibile armistice in September 1943 few sub machine guns were distributed to the Italian troops, when the northern and Cenral Italy were occupied by German troops was formed the Social Republic and three fighting corps were created: the Republican National Army, the actual army organized into four divisions, the Republican National Guard which replaced the military police (Carabinieri) and the Black Brigades, a politicized voluntary militia. These forces were used mainly to counter the partisan formations, and for this type of gurrilla war the sub-machine gun was a particularly suitable weapon. So was produced the MAB38A42, a shortened and lightened version of the MAB38A, with many simplifications that shortened production times and costs. This machine gun was also joined by the FNAB-43 and TZ-45 9mm Parabellum machine guns produced by the Armiguerra. The first was a well-made complex weapon, which uses a lever-delayed blowback system firing from the closed bolt position the second was a last ditch weapon which used the simple blow-back system firing. Many of these weapons were captured by the partisans, and at the end of the war a good part it was hidden in secret warehouses, ready to be used in a possible revolution. Back in 1970, when a low-intensity civil war was underway in Italy, the so-called years of lead, some of these weapons came out of secret depots, and two FNAB-43s and 1 TZ-45. were used by the terrorists in the attack on Via Fani, in which the escort was killed and the Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro was kidnapped it seems that in the action the TZ-45 jammed.
The most iconic and famous weapons of their time are not always the best or the most practical. However, this is a list of weapons in which each one was

Description WWII Technical Table In the Soviet Union there were very skilled weapons engineers: Simonov, Tokarev, Degtyarev, Shpagin and Sudaev, just to say the leadings. They designed efficient weapons and streamlined the work processes to the maximum, allowing to the arsenals of Tula, Kovrov, Izhevsk and Podolsk an many others to produce the millions of weapons needed to arm the huge Red Army. Mosin-Nagan M1891, tryokhlineynaya vintovka obraztsa 1891 goda The rifle was the old Mosin Nagant which dated back to 1891 and which had been modernized in 1930 and 1938 making it shorter than the version of 1891. This was a solid and relatively simple weapon to produce, in 7.62x54 R caliber.The 1891/30 rifle was 1232 mm long and weighed 3.95 kg, the model 1891/38 musket was 1019 mm long and weighed 3.4 kg, originally it was not equipped with the bayonet, then during the war it was also issued. SVT 40 Samozaryadnaya Vintovka Tokareva The Soviet Union was one of the first nations to promote the adoption of a semi-automatic rifle for its army, and in 1936 the semi-automatic shotgun of Simonov, the AVS 36 was adopted. This weapon required lengthy machining processes, and the designer who wanted to keep the weapon as light as possible, lightened the components, causing a certain fragility of the same. Meanwhile, a new project by Tokarev, the SVT 38 semi-automatic rifles, was approved and put into production, then modified and improved in the SVT 40 version. The rifle was light, weighed 3.9 kg, had a good aim, and was often used by snipers. , the ammo of these weapon was the 7.62x54 R. The removable magazine contained 10 ammo, and it was possible to reload the weapon with a strip without having to remove the magazine. The rifle required a lot of care and cleaning, and in the meantime it was composed of numerous small parts, which made it difficult to dismantle and reassemble, and was therefore delivered mainly to the non-commissioned officers and to the private first class soldiers. The rifle allowed to regulate the gas intake, enabling to keep the speed of shooting constant according to the different standards of the ammunition used. About 150,000 SVT 38 and about 1,600,000 SVT 40 were produced. PPD 40 Pistolet-Pulemyot Degtyaryova After the Russo-Finnish war the red army impressed by the effectiveness of the Finnish sub-machine gun Suomi asked to the Soviet industry to design and produce a similar weapon. Thus was born the sud-machine gun PPD 40 designed by Degtyaryov, it had a wooden stock, it was a blow-back action weapon that fired with an open bolt and was capable of selective fire. It was chambered for the 7.62x25 Tokarev pistol cartrige, quite similar to the 7.63x25 Mauser. It weighed 3.2 kg unloaded, it was 788 mm long and the magazine could be the drum magazine that contained 71 projectiles, or the linear two-wire that contained 35 ammo. Before being replaced by the cheaper PPSh were built about 100,000 weapons. PPSh Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagin The PPD required a very long and expensive turn and milling cycle. So engineer Shpagin designed the PPSh machine gun that used many metal stamping parts. The machine gun was designed for mass production, and most of its components could also be produced in small, under-equipped workshops. The PPSh was a rustic and effective weapon, weighed 3.9 kg unloaded, it was 843 mm long and used the 7.62x25 caliber ammunition, the magazine could be the drum magazine that contained 71 projectiles, or the linear two-wire that contained 35. More than 6 million specimens were produced, and were the most distributed weapon to the red army and to the Russian partisans who operated behind the lines of the axis forces. Germany also used for its army the captured PPShs, partly recalibrated in 9x19 parabellum and partly used with the original projectiles, or with the Mauser 7.63x25, which were a little less powerful than the original 7.62x25 Russians. The PPS 42 Pistolet-Pulemyot Sudayeva, designed by a Russian officer was put into production by engineer Sudaev, it was a weapon with good characteristics that could be produced in 2.7 hours compared to 7.3 hours needed to produce a PPSh 41 and at 13.7 hours necessary to produce a PPD 40 SMG, furthermore it required the use of less ferrous material. Production began in 1942 during the siege of Leningrad, and were widely used in the defense of the city. The weapon used only a curved 35 round box which was not used with the PPSh. During the war, about 2,000,000 PPS 42 were produced. This weapon was copied by the Finnish army and adopted as KP m / 44 (Konepistooli malli 1944) in 9x19 mm parabellum. The PPS 42 weighed 3 kg, was 907 mm long with the extendend stock and 615 mm with the folded stock, using the same 7.62x25 cartridge of the PPSh. The DP 28 Pulemyot Degtyaryova Pekhotny, designed by Degtyaryov, the same engineer who designed the PPD sub-machine gun, was adopted by the Russian army in 1928, it was gas operating light machine gun, simple, cheap to build and very resistant to dirt. It was 1270 mm long, weighed 9.1 kg and was chambered in 7.62x54 R. The ammonition was stored in a 47-round circular rotating magazine attached to the top of the receiver. It has a rate of fire of 550 rpm. Its problem consisted in the time consuming operation of reloading the magazines. It was the main weapon of the Russian infantry's squads. About 800,000 copies were produced. The PTRD ProtivoTankovoye Ruzhyo Degtyaryova was a single shot bolt-action antitank rifle that fired a 14.5x114 mm cartridge, it weighed 17.4 kg and was 2 meters long. With a tungsten ammonition it could pierce a 25 mm armor plate at the distance of 500 m. It was designed by Degtyaryov and produced in 470,000 specimens, each infantry platoon owned one. It was still used during the Korean and Vietnam war. Here in the plate, there isn’t the RPD LMG because even then it was produced during the last stages of the WWII, it looks as if it hasn’t ever seen action in the fighting field. The RPD Ruchnoy Pulemyot Degtyaryova was designed in 1944 and distributed in small quantities at the end of the Second World War, after the war it became the LMG weapon of the infantry squad of the Red Army until 1960, when it was replaced by RPK Ruchnoy Pulemyot Kalashnikova . It weighed 6.6 kg and was 1037 mm long, it shot the 7.62x39 M1943 cartridge full metal jacket, the first Russian intermediate cartridge, the same that was then used by the Kalasnikov till the 1980 ' The Tokarev TT33, самозарядный пистолет Токарева образца 1930 года, was a short recoil operating, looked breech and single action semi-automatic pistol. The TT33 chambered the 7.62x25 Tokarev ammo, stored in a 8 rounds detachable magazine. It was a rugged and though weapon, quite free from jams. It served the red Army and the satellites state from 1933 till to 1956, and about 1.700.000 were produced. It was long 194 mm and its weight unloaded was of 0,85 Kg.
