MG 38 and other stuff
Is there anyone can fill me in on the MG38? I can find no evidence or documentation that there was ever a version of the MG34 called the MG38. Isn't this just a mistake by the author of the page? I'm not going to change anything, just in case someone can provide proof that this weapon actually existed.
And why is the twin MG in the flying wing listed as a Nordenfelt Gun? As someone already mentioned, it's supposed to be a MG15(although it just a mock-up), and has nothing to do with a Nordenfelt gun. There's someone on this site who has a bad habit of calling every weapon with multiple barrels a Nordentfelt.--Phillb36 21:40, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- That's definately an MG34, in service in 1935. It's definately a mistake by the author. As to the "MG38," it does not exist.

Terminology
There seems to be an overuse of the word "nazi" in describing German soldiers on this page. Not everyone in their armed forces was a member of or believer in the National Socialist German Workers Party. If you're going to label German soldiers as "nazis" than you should replace the word Soviet with "communist" when discussing the Red Army. Harleyguy 28 June 2010 04:39
- - In the film, the story (and even dialogue from one of the 'Intelligence' guys) stated that the Germans looking for the Ark were part of the Nazi party/organization, sent by Hitler. While it indeed would be inaccurate to describe Germans in general in WWII as Nazis, I don't think that's really so much the case in regards to this film/page. StanTheMan 19:34, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
- Like Indiana Jones himself said in Last Crusade: "Nazis, I hate these guys." --funkychinaman 19:59, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Since they we're there for religious relics it would only make sense that Hitler would send his most trusted of Nazi Soldiers. Spades of Columbia
1911
I was just watching the movie, I'm pretty sure Indy pulls out some sort of 1911 and tucks it into his pants after he wakes up on the Bantu Wind just before the ship is boarded by the U-Boat -burgershot621

Remington 1875 Hammer/Firing Pin
Would a Remington 1875 have the firing pin mounted to the frame in 1936? Or is the lack of a firing pin on the hammer an error, or a means of deactivating the revolver? --Maxman (talk) 20:30, 26 January 2015 (EST)
