Talk:The Water Diviner
The revolver is a French Mle 1892 Revolver. The rifle on the final screenshot in Bolt action rifles entry appears to be a Berthier Fusil Mle 1907-15 M16.
I also guess that Greek raider's carbine is a Turkish Mauser M1905 Carbine. Greg-Z (talk) 14:35, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
- I think the barrel is too short on the Turkish Mauser carbine. Bolt handle also looks different. Dudester32 (talk) 14:50, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
- Correction, the exposed part of the barrel is too short. Dudester32 (talk) 14:51, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
- Another guess is a Spanish Mauser M1895 Carbine. Greg-Z (talk) 14:59, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
- Agreed! Dudester32 (talk) 15:05, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
- Hold it! I think I've found it. It's a Turkish Berthier Carbine.Dudester32 (talk) 15:18, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
- It seems some variants have a straight bolt and covered barrel while others have bent bolt and uncovered barrels.Dudester32 (talk) 15:23, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
- I just noticed the Turkish version does not have a portruding magazine unlike the original Berthier.
- Agreed! Dudester32 (talk) 15:05, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
- Another guess is a Spanish Mauser M1895 Carbine. Greg-Z (talk) 14:59, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
Can we get a poster for this? --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:45, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
"Other bolt action rifles"
Does anyone have a clue yet as to what rifle is shown in the third screenscap of the "Other bolt action rifles category"? Dudester32 (talk) 08:54, 20 March 2015 (EDT)
- This rifle bears resemblance with various Mannlicher model but it lacks its typical magazine. So my guess is Greece Mannlicher-Schoenauer M1903/14 (like the one at the bottom). Greg-Z (talk) 13:22, 20 March 2015 (EDT)
