'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Rifle, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield Mk.III, or [[SMLE]] (or Rifle No.1 Mk.III under revised nomenclature) was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

[[Image:crown_s2e1_no1egypt.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian troops with No.1 rifles (indicated by red arrows) in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==Double-Barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields a double-barreled rifle in Kenya. This firearm is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese [[Type 56]] rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, and the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs during this conflict. An AK-47 or Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an [[AKS-47]] type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:297_%28Type56-1%29.JPG|thumb|none|600px|The Chinese take on the AKS-47, the Type 56-1. The screen-used rifle is not seen clearly enough for definitive identification, but this version is popular among film and television armorers.]]
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield [[SKS]]s. The SKS was designed for the Soviet army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

Tommy Lascelles is seen working on an unidentified bolt-action sporting rifle.

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.
[[Image:crown_elizabethsporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Queen Elizabeth hunts with her Parker-Hale M81 in "Marionettes" (S2E05).]]

==M1 Garand==
American troops carry [[M1 Garand]] rifles. This was the main US battle rifle in World War II and Korea.

==K98k==
Waffen-SS troops stand for review with [[Karabiner 98k]] rifles. This was Germany's main battle rifle in World War II.
[[Image:Karabiner-98K.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The K98k.]]
[[Image:crown_k98k.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Waffen-SS troops with K98k rifles in "Vergangenheit" (S2E06).]]

==L1A1==
The Queen's Guard carry [[L1A1]] self-loading rifles. This is the British version of the FN-FAL, which was the main battle rifle of most NATO countries from the 1950s until the 1980s.
[[Image:Original_L1A1_SLR.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L1A1 self-loading rifle.]]

[[Image:crown_marchingl1a1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Queen's Guard marching with the L1A1 in "Dear Mrs. Kennedy" (S2E08).]]

==Gewehr 1898==
Waffen-SS troops march with [[Mauser Gewehr 1898]]s. While Nazi Germany tends to be more associated with the K98k, the longer and older Gew. 98 would have been appropriate for ceremonial use.
[[Image:Mauser_g98.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Gew. 98.]]
[[Image:crown_gewehr98.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Waffen-SS troops with Gew. 98s in "Paterfamilias" (S2E09).]]

=Shotguns=
==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

[[Image:Merkel40e.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A double-barreled shotgun of the type seen throughout ''The Crown.'' The makes and models of the screen-used shotguns are probably impossible to determine.]]

[[Image:crown_s2e10_macmillanshotgun.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Prime Minister Harold Macmillan with a double-barreled shotgun in "Mystery Man" (S2E10).]]

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover wields a [[Winchester Model 1912]] with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of his hunting party's double-barreled shotguns. Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

[[Image:crown_win12blast.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The effect of the Cutts compensator can be seen in this shot from "Windsor" (S1E03).]]

=Machine guns and submachine guns=

==Bren gun==
A British tank is shown with a [[Bren gun]]. This was the standard British light machine gun through World War II and for many decades after.
[[Image:Bren_gun.JPG|thumb|none|600px|The Bren gun.]]
[[Image:crown_bren.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A British tank with a Bren gun in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==Sten gun==
A British soldier wields a [[Sten]] gun. The British made heavy use of the Sten submachine gun through World War II, but it was being quickly phased out in favor of the Sterling submachine gun by the time of this episode.
[[Image:Sten.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Sten gun.]]

==M1A1 Thompson==

[[Image:crown_thompson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An American soldier with a Thompson in "Vergangenheit" (S2E06).]]

=Other=
==Gelignite==
Though never seen used (or even seen) on-screen, gelignite plays a prominent role in "Gelignite" (S1E06). Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

==Double-Barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields a double-barreled rifle in Kenya. This firearm is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese [[Type 56]] rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, and the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs during this conflict. An AK-47 or Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield [[SKS]]s. The SKS was designed for the Soviet army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.

Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a [[Winchester Model 1912]] with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of his hunting party's double-barreled shotguns. Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

==Gelignite==
Though never seen used (or even seen) on-screen, gelignite plays a prominent role in "Gelignite" (S1E06). Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an [[AKS-47]] type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield [[SKS]]s. The SKS was designed for the Soviet army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a [[Winchester Model 1912]] with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of his hunting party's double-barreled shotguns. Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

=Other=
==Gelignite==
Though never seen used (or even seen) on-screen, gelignite plays a prominent role in "Gelignite" (S1E06). Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Rifle, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield Mk.III, or [[SMLE]] (or Rifle No.1 Mk.III under revised nomenclature) was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Double-Barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields a double-barreled rifle in Kenya. This firearm is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a [[Winchester Model 1912]] with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of his hunting party's double-barreled shotguns. Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

==Gelignite==
Though never seen used (or even seen) on-screen, gelignite plays a prominent role in "Gelignite" (S1E06). Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Rifle, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield Mk.III, or [[SMLE]] (or Rifle No.1 Mk.III under revised nomenclature) was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Double-Barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields a double-barreled rifle in Kenya. This firearm is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese [[Type 56]] rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, and the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs during this conflict. An AK-47 or Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an [[AKS-47]] type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:297_%28Type56-1%29.JPG|thumb|none|600px|The Chinese take on the AKS-47, the Type 56-1. The screen-used rifle is not seen clearly enough for definitive identification, but this version is popular among film and television armorers.]]
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield [[SKS]]s. The SKS was designed for the Soviet army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a [[Winchester Model 1912]] with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of his hunting party's double-barreled shotguns. Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Rifle, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield Mk.III, or [[SMLE]] (or Rifle No.1 Mk.III under revised nomenclature) was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Double-Barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields a double-barreled rifle in Kenya. This firearm is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese [[Type 56]] rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, and the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs during this conflict. An AK-47 or Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an [[AKS-47]] type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:297_%28Type56-1%29.JPG|thumb|none|600px|The Chinese take on the AKS-47, the Type 56-1. The screen-used rifle is not seen clearly enough for definitive identification, but this version is popular among film and television armorers.]]
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield [[SKS]]s. The SKS was designed for the Soviet army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

Tommy Lascelles is seen working on an unidentified bolt-action sporting rifle.
[[Image:crown_lascellessporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tommy Lascelles with his sporting rifle in "Lisbon" (S2E03).]]

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.
[[Image:crown_elizabethsporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Queen Elizabeth hunts with her Parker-Hale M81 in "Marionettes" (S2E05).]]

==M1 Garand==
American troops carry M1 Garand rifles. This was the main US battle rifle in World War II and Korea.

==K98k==

[[Image:crown_k98k.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Waffen-SS troops with K98k rifles in "Vergangenheit" (S2E06).]]

==L1A1==
The Queen's Guard carry [[L1A1]] self-loading rifles. This is the British version of the FN-FAL, which was the main battle rifle of most NATO countries from the 1950s until the 1980s.
[[Image:Original_L1A1_SLR.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L1A1 self-loading rifle.]]

==Gewehr 1898==
Waffen-SS troops march with [[Mauser Gewehr 1898]]s. While Nazi Germany tends to be more associated with the K98k, the longer and older Gew. 98 would have been appropriate for ceremonial use.

==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Rifle, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield Mk.III, or [[SMLE]] (or Rifle No.1 Mk.III under revised nomenclature) was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

[[Image:crown_s2e1_no1egypt.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian troops with No.1 rifles (indicated by red arrows) in "Hyde Park Corner" (S1E02).]]

==Double-Barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields a double-barreled rifle in Kenya. This firearm is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese [[Type 56]] rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, and the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs during this conflict. An AK-47 or Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an [[AKS-47]] type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:297_%28Type56-1%29.JPG|thumb|none|600px|The Chinese take on the AKS-47, the Type 56-1. The screen-used rifle is not seen clearly enough for definitive identification, but this version is popular among film and television armorers.]]
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield [[SKS]]s. The SKS was designed for the Soviet army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

==Unknown bolt action rifle==
Tommy Lascelles is seen working on an unidentified bolt-action sporting rifle.
[[Image:crown_lascellessporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tommy Lascelles with his sporting rifle in "Lisbon" (S2:E3).]]

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.
[[Image:crown_elizabethsporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Queen Elizabeth hunts with her Parker-Hale M81 in "Marionettes" (S2:E5).]]

==M1 Garand==
American troops carry M1 Garand rifles. This was the main US battle rifle in World War II and Korea.

==K98k==
Waffen-SS troops stand for review with [[Karabiner 98k]] rifles. This was Germany's main battle rifle in World War II.
[[Image:Karabiner-98K.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The K98k.]]
[[Image:crown_k98k.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Waffen-SS troops with K98k rifles in "Vergangenheit" (S2:E6).]]

==L1A1==
The Queen's Guard carry [[L1A1]] self-loading rifles. This is the British version of the FN-FAL, which was the main battle rifle of most NATO countries from the 1950s until the 1980s.
[[Image:Original_L1A1_SLR.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L1A1 self-loading rifle.]]

[[Image:crown_marchingl1a1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Queen's Guard marching with the L1A1 in "Dear Mrs. Kennedy" (S2:E8).]]

==Gewehr 1898==
Waffen-SS troops march with [[Mauser Gewehr 1898]]s. While Nazi Germany tends to be more associated with the K98k, the longer and older Gew. 98 would have been appropriate for ceremonial use.
[[Image:Mauser_g98.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Gew. 98.]]
[[Image:crown_gewehr98.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Waffen-SS troops with Gew. 98s in "Paterfamilias" (S2:E9).]]

=Shotguns=
==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

[[Image:crown_s2e10_macmillanshotgun.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Prime Minister Harold Macmillan with a double-barreled shotgun in "Mystery Man" (S2:E10).]]

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a [[Winchester Model 1912]] with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of his hunting party's double-barreled shotguns. Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

[[Image:crown_win12blast.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The effect of the Cutts compensator can be seen in this shot from "Windsor" (S1:E3).]]

=Machine guns and submachine guns=

==Bren gun==
A British tank is shown with a Bren gun in S2:E1, "Misadventure." This was the standard British light machine gun through World War II and for many decades after.
[[Image:crown_bren.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A British tank with a Bren gun.]]

==Sten gun==
A British soldier wields a Sten gun in S2:E1 "Misadventure." The British made heavy use of the Sten submachine gun through World War II, but it was being quickly phased out in favor of the Sterling submachine gun by the time of this episode.
[[Image:crown_sten.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A British soldier with a Sten gun.]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An American soldier carries an M1A1 Thompson submachine gun in S2:E6, "Vergangenheit." The "Tommy gun" was used by US forces from World War II through Vietnam.
[[Image:crown_thompson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An American soldier with a Thompson.]]

=Other=
==Gelignite==
Though never seen used (or even seen) on-screen, gelignite plays a prominent role in "Gelignite" (S1:E6). Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese [[Type 56]] rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, and the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs during this conflict. An AK-47 or Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an [[AKS-47]] type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:297_%28Type56-1%29.JPG|thumb|none|600px|The Chinese take on the AKS-47, the Type 56-1. The screen-used rifle is not seen clearly enough for definitive identification, but this version is popular among film and television armorers.]]
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield [[SKS]]s. The SKS was designed for the Soviet army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.

==Gewehr 1898==
Waffen-SS troops march with [[Mauser Gewehr 1898]]s. While Nazi Germany tends to be more associated with the K98k, the longer and older Gew. 98 would have been appropriate for ceremonial use.

=Shotguns=
==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of his hunting party's double-barreled shotguns. Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

==Sten gun==

==M1A1 Thompson==

[[Image:crown_thompson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An American soldier with a Thompson.]]

=Other=
==Gelignite==
Though never seen used (or even seen) on-screen, gelignite plays a prominent role in S1:E6, "Gelignite." Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Rifle, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield Mk.III, or [[SMLE]] (or Rifle No.1 Mk.III under revised nomenclature) was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Double-Barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields a double-barreled rifle in Kenya. This firearm is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.

=Shotguns=
==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of his hunting party's double-barreled shotguns. Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

=Other=
==Gelignite==
Though never seen used (or even seen) on-screen, gelignite plays a prominent role in S1:E6, "Gelignite." Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Rifle, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield Mk.III, or [[SMLE]] (or Rifle No.1 Mk.III under revised nomenclature) was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Double-Barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields a double-barreled rifle in Kenya. This firearm is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese [[Type 56]] rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, and the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs during this conflict. An AK-47 or Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an [[AKS-47]] type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:297_%28Type56-1%29.JPG|thumb|none|600px|The Chinese take on the AKS-47, the Type 56-1. The screen-used rifle is not seen clearly enough for definitive identification, but this version is popular among film and television armorers.]]
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in "Misadventure" (S2E01).]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs. The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Rifle, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield Mk.III, or SMLE (or Rifle No.1 Mk.III under revised nomenclature) was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

[[Image:crown_s2e1_no1egypt.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian troops with No.1 rifles (indicated by red arrows) in S2:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya. We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.
[[Image:Crown_philiprifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Philip with his double-barreled rifle in S1:E2, "Hyde Park Corner."]]

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.
[[Image:LeeEnfield4Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I rifle.]]

[[Image:Crown_s2e8_ghanansno4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ghanaian troops with their No.4 rifles in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy."]]

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, and the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs during this conflict. An AK-47 or Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle in S2:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:297_%28Type56-1%29.JPG|thumb|none|600px|The Chinese take on the AKS-47, the Type 56-1. The screen-used rifle is not seen clearly enough for definitive identification, but this version is popular among film and television armorers.]]
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in S2:E1, "Misadventure." ]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs. The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

Tommy Lascelles is seen working on an unidentified bolt-action sporting rifle.
[[Image:crown_lascellessporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tommy Lascelles with his sporting rifle in S2:E3, "Lisbon."]]

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.
[[Image:crown_elizabethsporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Queen Elizabeth hunts with her Parker-Hale M81 in S2:E5, "Marionettes."]]

==M1 Garand==

==L1A1==
The Queen's Guard carry L1A1 self-loading rifles. This is the British version of the FN-FAL, which was the main battle rifle of most NATO countries from the 1950s until the 1980s.
[[Image:Original_L1A1_SLR.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L1A1 self-loading rifle.]]

==Gewehr 1898==
Waffen-SS troops march with Gewehr 1898 rifles. While Nazi Germany tends to be more associated with the K98k, the longer and older Gew. 98 would have been appropriate for ceremonial use.
[[Image:Mauser_g98.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Gew. 98 rifle.]]
[[Image:crown_gewehr98.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Waffen-SS troops with Gew. 98 rifles in S2:E9, "Paterfamilias."]]

=Shotguns=
==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Lee-Enfield No.1 was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya. We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.
[[Image:Crown_philiprifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Philip with his double-barreled rifle in S1:E2, "Hyde Park Corner."]]

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.
[[Image:LeeEnfield4Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I rifle.]]

[[Image:Crown_s2e8_ghanansno4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ghanaian troops with their No.4 rifles in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy."]]

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, and the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs during this conflict. An AK-47 or Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.
[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle in S2:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in S2:E1, "Misadventure." ]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs. The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.
[[Image:crown_sks.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an SKS (indicated by red arrow) in S2:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==Unknown bolt action rifle==
Tommy Lascelles is seen working on an unidentified bolt-action sporting rifle.
[[Image:crown_lascellessporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tommy Lascelles with his sporting rifle in S2:E3, "Lisbon."]]

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.
[[Image:crown_elizabethsporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Queen Elizabeth hunts with her Parker-Hale M81 in S2:E5, "Marionettes."]]

==M1 Garand==
American troops carry M1 Garand rifles. This was the main US battle rifle in World War II and Korea.
[[Image:crown_garand.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An American soldier with his M1 Garand (indicated by the red arrow) in S2:E6, "Vergangenheit."]]

==K98k==
Waffen-SS troops stand for review with K98k rifles. This was Germany's main battle rifle in World War II.
[[Image:crown_k98k.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Waffen-SS troops with K98k rifles in S2:E6, "Vergangenheit."]]

==L1A1==
The Queen's Guard carry L1A1 self-loading rifles. This is the British version of the FN-FAL, which was the main battle rifle of most NATO countries from the 1950s until the 1980s.
[[Image:crownl1a1receiver.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Queen's Guard doing squad drill with the L1A1 in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy."]]

[[Image:crown_marchingl1a1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Queen's Guard marching with the L1A1 in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy."]]

==Gewehr 1898==
Waffen-SS troops march with Gewehr 1898 rifles. While Nazi Germany tends to be more associated with the K98k, the longer and older Gew. 98 would have been appropriate for ceremonial use.
[[Image:crown_gewehr98.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Waffen-SS troops with Gew. 98 rifles in S2:E9, "Paterfamilias."]]

=Shotguns=
==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

[[Image:crown_shotgunedwardphilip.jpg|thumb|none|600px|King George VI (foreground) and Philip (background) with double-barreled shotguns in S1:E1, "Wolverton Splash."]]

[[Image:crown_s2e10_macmillanshotgun.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Prime Minister Harold Macmillan with a double-barreled shotgun in S2:E10, "Mystery Man."]]

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

[[Image:crown_thompson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An American soldier with a Thompson.]]

=Other=
==Gelignite==
Though never seen used (or even seen) on-screen, gelignite plays a prominent role in S1:E6, "Gelignite." Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Lee-Enfield No.1 was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya. We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.
[[Image:Crown_philiprifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Philip with his double-barreled rifle in S1:E2, "Hyde Park Corner."]]

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.
[[Image:LeeEnfield4Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I rifle.]]

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army of this time was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs. A Soviet AK-47 or Chinese Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.
[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle in S2:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in S2:E1, "Misadventure." ]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs. The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Lee-Enfield No.1 was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya. We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.
[[Image:Crown_philiprifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Philip with his double-barreled rifle in S1:E2, "Hyde Park Corner."]]

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.
[[Image:LeeEnfield4Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I rifle.]]

[[Image:Crown_s2e8_ghanansno4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ghanaian troops with their No.4 rifles in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy."]]

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army of this time was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs. A Soviet AK-47 or Chinese Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.
[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle in S2:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in S2:E1, "Misadventure." ]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs. The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.
[[Image:crown_sks.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an SKS (indicated by red arrow) in S2:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==Unknown bolt action rifle==
Tommy Lascelles is seen working on an unidentified bolt-action sporting rifle.
[[Image:crown_lascellessporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tommy Lascalles with his sporting rifle in S2:E3, "Lisbon."]]

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.
[[Image:crown_elizabethsporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Queen Elizabeth hunts with her Parker-Hale M81 in S2:E5, "Marionettes."]]

==M1 Garand==
American troops carry M1 Garand rifles. This was the main US battle rifle in World War II and Korea.
[[Image:crown_garand.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An American soldier with his M1 Garand (indicated by the red arrow) in S2:E6, "Vergangenheit."]]

==K98k==
Waffen-SS troops stand for review with K98k rifles. This was Germany's main battle rifle in World War II.
[[Image:crown_k98k.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Waffen-SS troops with K98k rifles in S2:E6, "Vergangenheit."]]

==L1A1==
The Queen's Guard carry L1A1 self-loading rifles. This is the British version of the FN-FAL, which was the main battle rifle of most NATO countries from the 1950s until the 1980s.
[[Image:crownl1a1receiver.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Queen's Guard doing squad drill with the L1A1 in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy."]]

[[Image:crown_marchingl1a1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Queen's Guard marching with the L1A1 in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy."]]

==Gewehr 1898==
Waffen-SS troops march with Gewehr 1898 rifles. While Nazi Germany tends to be more associated with the K98k, the longer and older Gew. 98 would have been appropriate for ceremonial use.
[[Image:crown_gewehr98.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Waffen-SS troops with Gew. 98 rifles in S2:E9, "Paterfamilias."]]

=Shotguns=
==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

[[Image:crown_s2e10_macmillanshotgun.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Prime Minister Harold Macmillan with a double-barreled shotgun in S2:E10, "Mystery Man."]]

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

[[Image:crown_win12blast.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The effect of the Cutts compensator can be seen in this shot.]]

=Machine guns and submachine guns=

==Bren gun==
A British tank is shown with a Bren gun in S2:E1, "Misadventure." This was the standard British light machine gun through World War II and for many decades after.
[[Image:crown_bren.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A British tank with a Bren gun.]]

==Sten gun==
A British soldier wields a Sten gun in S2:E1 "Misadventure." This was the standard British submachine gun through World War II, but it was being quickly phased out in favor of the Sterling submachine gun by the time of this episode.
[[Image:crown_sten.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A British soldier with a Sten gun.]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An American soldier carries a M1A1 Thompson submachine gun in S2:E6, "Vergangenheit." The "Tommy gun" was used by US forces from World War II through Vietnam.
[[Image:crown_thompson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An American soldier with a Thompson.]]

=Other=
==Gelignite==
Though never seen used (or even seen) on-screen, gelignite plays a prominent role in S1:E6, "Gelignite." Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

{{TV Title|The Crown}}
__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Lee-Enfield No.1 was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

[[Image:crown_s2e1_no1egypt.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian troops with No.1 rifles (indicated by red arrows) in S1:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya. We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.
[[Image:Crown_philiprifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Philip with his double-barreled rifle in S1:E2, "Hyde Park Corner."]]

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.
[[Image:LeeEnfield4Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I rifle.]]

[[Image:Crown_s2e8_ghanansno4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ghanan troops with their No.4 rifles in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy."]]

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army of this time was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs. A Soviet AK-47 or Chinese Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.
[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle in S2:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in S2:E1, "Misadventure." ]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs. The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.
[[Image:crown_sks.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an SKS (indicated by red arrow) in S2:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==Unknown bolt action rifle==
Tommy Lascelles is seen working on an unidentified bolt-action sporting rifle.
[[Image:crown_lascellessporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tommy Lascalles with his sporting rifle in S2:E3, "Lisbon."]]

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.
[[Image:crown_elizabethsporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Queen Elizabeth hunts with her Parker-Hale M81 in S2:E5, "Marionettes."]]

==M1 Garand==
American troops carry M1 Garand rifles. This was the main US battle rifle in World War II and Korea.

==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

=Other=
==Gelignite==
Though never seen used (or even seen) on-screen, gelignite plays a prominent role in S1:E6, "Gelignite." The episode's title refers to the newspaper editor's observation that he is about to publish an "explosively" provocative article. Gelignite is a nitroglycerin-based high explosive with a gel-like consistency, and it is popular in the UK for mining and quarrying. It was also used in many bombings during The Troubles, and the British government published instructions for how to construct gelignite-based IEDs in manuals for the World War II-era Home Guard.

==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Lee-Enfield No.1 was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya. We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army of this time was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs. A Soviet AK-47 or Chinese Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.

Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs. The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Lee-Enfield No.1 was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya. We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army of this time was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs. A Soviet AK-47 or Chinese Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47 (indicated by red arrow) in S2:E1, "Misadventure." ]]

==SKS==
Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs. The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81. As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.

At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle, i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock. See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.

Many Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs. The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Lee-Enfield No.1 was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya. We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.
[[Image:Crown_philiprifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Philip with his double-barreled rifle in S1:E2, "Hyde Park Corner."]]

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army of this time was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs. A Soviet AK-47 or Chinese Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Lee-Enfield No.1 was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya (S1:E2, "Hyde Park Corner"). We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.
[[Image:Crown_philiprifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Philip with his double-barreled rifle]]

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.
[[Image:LeeEnfield4Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I rifle.]]

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle. It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army of this time was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs. A Soviet AK-47 or Chinese Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.
[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle in S2:E1, "Misadventure."]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle (i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock) in S2:E1, "Misadventure." See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47, indicated by red arrow.]]

==SKS==
Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs in S2:E1, "Misadventure." The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

==Unknown bolt action rifle==
Tommy Lascelles is working on an unidentified bolt-action sporting rifle in S2:E3, "Lisbon."

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81 in S2:E5, "Marionettes." As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.
[[Image:crown_elizabethsporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Queen Elizabeth hunts with her Parker-Hale M81.]]

The Queen's Guard carry L1A1 self-loading rifles in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy." This is the British version of the FN-FAL, which was the main battle rifle of most NATO countries from the 1950s until the 1980s.

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

==Bren gun==
A British tank is shown with a Bren gun in S2:E1, "Misadventure." This was the standard British light machine gun through World War II and for many decades after.
[[Image:crown_bren.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A British tank with a Bren gun.]]

==Sten gun==
A British soldier wields a Sten gun in S2:E1 "Misadventure." This was the standard British submachine gun through World War II, but it was being quickly phased out in favor of the Sterling submachine gun by the time of this episode.

==M1A1 Thompson==

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Lee-Enfield No.1 was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background or at a distance, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya (S1:E2, "Hyde Park Corner"). We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.
[[Image:Crown_philiprifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Philip with his double-barreled rifle]]

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle in S2:E1, "Misadventure." It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army of this time was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs. A Soviet AK-47 or Chinese Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.
[[Image:Crown_type56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with a Type 56 rifle.]]

==AKS-47==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle (i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock) in S2:E1, "Misadventure." See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.
[[Image:Crown_AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an AKS-47, indicated by red arrow.]]

==SKS==
Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs in S2:E1, "Misadventure." The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.
[[Image:crown_sks.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Egyptian soldier with an SKS (indicated by red arrow).]]

==Unknown bolt action rifle==
Tommy Lascelles is working on an unidentified bolt-action sporting rifle in S2:E3, "Lisbon."
[[Image:crown_lascellessporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tommy Lascalles with his sporting rifle.]]

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81 in S2:E5, "Marionettes." As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.
[[Image:crown_elizabethsporter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Queen Elizabeth hunts with her Parker-Hale M81.]]

==M1 Garand==
American troops carry M1 Garand rifles in S2:E6, "Vergangenheit." This was the main US battle rifle in World War II and Korea.

==L1A1==
The Queen's Guard carry L1A1 self-loading rifles in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy." This is the British version of the FN-FAL, which was the main battle rifle of most NATO countries from the 1950s until the 1980s.

At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with an AKS-47 type rifle (i.e., an AK-47 with an underfolding sheet-metal stock) in S2:E1, "Misadventure." See above for discussion of the AK-47 in as depicted in this conflict.

==SKS==
Egyptian soldiers and irregulars wield SKSs in S2:E1, "Misadventure." The SKS was designed for the Soviet Army, but was obsolete upon introduction and quickly supplanted in Soviet service by the AK-47. Instead, the Soviet Union exported it to many other nations, including Egypt. Several other nations manufactured variations of the SKS. Based on the on-screen rifles' lack of a very distinctive muzzle device, we can rule out Yugoslavian variants, which would be anachronistic. They are not seen clearly enough for more a definitive identification, however.

Tommy Lascelles is working on an unidentified bolt-action sporting rifle in S2:E3, "Lisbon."

==Parker-Hale M81==
Queen Elizabeth hunts with a Parker-Hale M81 in S2:E5, "Marionettes." As Parker-Hale did not introduce the M81 until 1983, this is anachronistic.

==L1A1==
The Queen's Guard carry L1A1 self-loading rifles in S2:E8, "Dear Mrs. Kennedy." This is the British version of the FN-FAL, which was the main battle rifle of most NATO countries from the 1950s until the 1980s.

==Gewehr 1898==
Waffen-SS troops march with Gewehr 1898 rifles in S2:E9, "Paterfamilias." While Nazi Germany tends to be more associated with the K98k, the longer and older Gew. 98 would have been appropriate for ceremonial use.

=Shotguns=
==Unknown double-barreled shotguns==
Many characters hunt with unidentified double-barreled shotguns, in the side-by-side barrel configuration.

==Winchester Model 1912==
Ernst Augustus, Prince of Hanover, wields a Winchester Model 1912 with a Cutts compensator, in contrast to the rest of the hunting party's double-barreled shotguns (S1:E3, "Windsor"). Lord Mountbatten asks about it, to which Hanover replies, "I inherited it from my grandfather - as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique ... but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made." Mountbatten also complains, "they didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon."

This is all historically plausible. Kaiser Wilhelm II was delivered in a breech birth, and the use of forceps to assist delivery caused a severe shoulder injury. As an adult, his left arm was six inches shorter, and much weaker, than his right arm. He used many appliances and customized firearms to hunt. The Cutts compensator, like most recoil compensators, has a reputation for being very loud, hence Mountbatten's "cannon" comment.

'''''The Crown''''' is a [[Netflix]] original series that examines the reign of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (portrayed for the series' first two seasons by [[Claire Foy]]). The first two seasons have been released, primarily covering events from 1947 through 1964. Both seasons use flashbacks to touch on events prior to their main narratives, especially to World War II, the abdication crisis, and the youths of the Queen and her consort, Prince Philip ([[Matt Smith]]).

__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield No.1==
The Lee-Enfield No.1 was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces in World War I. It continued to serve alongside the Lee-Enfield No.4 through World War II and until the adoption of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. It is often seen in the background, and it is also prominently wielded by Elizabeth and Phillip's guide in Kenya.

==Unknown double-barreled rifle==
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, wields an unidentified double-barreled rifle in Kenya (S1:E2, "Hyde Park Corner"). We can be certain that it is not a shotgun, as he can be heard ordering one of the party to "pass me my rifle." Though less commonly seen than double-barreled shotguns, double-barreled rifles were, and still are, popular for protection against dangerous African game. They can be chambered for very powerful cartridges and offer a very quick and reliable followup shot.
[[Image:Crown_philiprifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Philip with his double-barreled rifle]]

==Lee-Enfield No.4==
The Lee-Enfield No.4 was the main battle rifle of the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II, with the rest of the Commonwealth continuing to use the older No. 1 rifle. Like the No.1, it is often seen in the background or at a distance. It can be distinguished from the No.1 by differences in the muzzle and rear sight.

==Type 56==
At least one Egyptian soldier is armed with a Chinese Type 56 rifle in S2:E1, "Misadventure." It can be distinguished by the underfolding bayonet. It is probably meant to stand in for the Soviet AK-47: the Egyptians were being supplied with Soviet and Czech weapons, the Type 56 was very new (and not exported in large quantities, if at all) at the time of this episode. However, the Egyptian army of this time was armed with a variety of bolt action rifles and Soviet SKSs. A Soviet AK-47 or Chinese Type 56, while not anachronistic, is improbable.
