Fine, either that or the Resistance! :-D

War photographer to document the fight against fascism or Mustang pilot to be an active asset in the fight against fascism

Re: Your role in WW2.

Due to my birthplace near Stuttgart, I most likely would have joined up the 21.Panzerdivision and would have served as tank squad commander (Yeah, I'm smart enough to be at least Oberleutnant!) and would have went off for Lybia to fight the "War without Hate".

Btw I'm glad that I did not have to serve in a war. And hopefully dont have to in the future.

Well imagine that if he was likely to have a pump-action large caliber shotgun instead of some little dinky one-shot popgun!

Just insert that gratuitous *kerr-chikk* BOOM! into any number of WWII movies. Like Tom Hanks potting away at the Panzer with his .45:

Panzer: rumble rumble rumble
Tom Hanks: *kerr-chikk* BOOM!

OK, he still would have died, but it would have been a lot cooler.

Or Vassili Zaitsev: "With your permission, comrade commissar" *kerr-chikk* BOOM! *kerr-chikk* BOOM! *kerr-chikk* BOOM! *kerr-chikk* BOOM! *kerr-chikk* BOOM! as another one bites the dust.

Or poor little Anne Frank, huddled in her attic, waiting for the goons to arrive. No more of this passive fatalism. Instead,

Nazi thug: "OPEN UP! IN ZE NAME OF ZE FUHRER!" *bangs down door*
Anne Frank: *kerr-chikk* BOOM! "Hah, take that you miserable hun!"

Or Col. Stauffenberg, in the Wolfsschanze. Screw bombs, just imagine a meeting room, from the outside.

Hitler: "But, vhat are you doink, Stauffenberg? Put zat awa.."
*kerr-chikk* BOOM! *kerr-chikk* BOOM! ...etc...as the windows light up from the inside with a series of loud, resounding large-caliber explosions.

Or do you think the Allies would have suffered such losses at D-Day if they'd all been armed with 12-gauges? Probably not, and the sound effects would have been far more gratifying.

And the German war machine wouldn't have gotten more than 300 meters inside of Belgium or Poland if it had been confronted with entire populations of shotgun-wielding farmers. No part of the world would have lived under tyranny and fear, thanks to the knowledge that at any moment, air-dropped pallets full of 12-gauge goodness would drop from the skies in the name of freedom.

Remember kids, an armed society is a polite society.

LOL!

How about a Liberator Shotgun?

Re: Your role in WW2.

Screw that. Armscor Streetsweeper. 12-shot 12-gauge revolver-magazine semi-automatic shotgun.

http://www.crownholdings.net/images/...eetsweeper.jpg

Or, the Pancor Jackhammer. 12-gauge, assault submachine shotgun (10 round mag, 240rpm.)

http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/jackhammer_r.jpg

Or, imagine taking out Pantz0rs with a Mk. 19 40mm machine grenade launcher (300-400rpm)

http://www.packetmonkey.net/images-g.../mk19/mk19.gif

Or the Russian version, the AGS-17 Plamya (alas, only 30mm, wimpy wimpy wimpy.)

Or what if Audie Murphy'd had one of these on top of that burning Sherman:

WWII? Over in 3 days, tops.

"Take that, gatling gun Hitler!" Bwahahahaha, *drool* someone stop me, I'm having a wargasm...

Re: Your role in WW2.

Uhh, they actually did drop liberator shotguns over Paris, not sure if it was that model, but they did do it.

Don't you think germans would have taken coutermeasures? Here's approval, they already did build up units for that:

Spoiler:

They may have stepped in your way!
"Stop Amerikan! We got you with your trousers down. Give up! You are verhaftet!"

How's that for honour :P

There ya go, thats much much better lol

Re: Your role in WW2.

I suppose No. 400 Squadron RCAF would do the trick. Flew Mustang Mk. 1s and then switched over to unarmed photo reconnassaince until the end of the war where they were disbanded on a captured airfield in Germany :cool:.

heh. No joke, tens of thousands of Axis POW's never ate so well or enjoyed such good health as they did on one of several military prison camp farms in the rural South or West of the US (and in some cases in the South, were treated better than the local black citizens). It was not uncommon for a POW, usually Italian, to try to finagle a way to stay in the US. But then there was that U-Boat commander who escaped and successfully evaded capture for some months in the US. That's a pretty dedicated ( and resourceful!) guy.
