			You know what, you're not the only one who thinks so. The stock appears to be too straight for a Lewis, and I don't see the finned rear part of the heat sink. But perhaps it's just screenshots. --[[User:MaranaInfirmux\|MaranaInfirmux]] ([[User talk:MaranaInfirmux\|talk]]) 01:17, 12 August 2019 (EDT)

			They both have spade-grips for one thing which is incorrect. The water jacket holes are cut in a different pattern and come in different sizes.

			Here is a genuine MG 08/15.

			At first I thought it was a browning .30 1919 with spade grips, but the feed port looks more like a regular Maxim MG of WW1.

New page

== Lanchester Carbine ==

The sub-machine guns used by Biggles and companions in the First World War scenes is the (anachronistic) Lanchester Machine Carbine. This weapon, a copy of the Bergmann MP-18/MP-28, was produced in small numbers during the early part of World War II in Britain but was rapidly replaced by the far cheaper STEN gun.
The few thousand that were manufactured went to the Royal Navy and were still in service well into the 1960s.

In reality the only sub-machine gun used during the First World War was the Bergmann MP-18, with the odd "snail drum" magazine projecting from the left side; the Italian FIAT-[[Villar-Perosa submachine gun|Villar Perosa Mod 15]] was used as a light machine gun, despite firing a pistol round.

== 105mm Howitzer ==

During the weapons testing ground, various objects are around such as dummy soldiers and anachronistically WW2 German 105mm Howitzer alongside another artillery gun of unknown model. Shortly after the secret weapon is used, the objects crumble up.

== Unknown Artillery Gun ==

Alongside the 105mm Howitzer, another artillery gun is seen in the weapons testing ground.
