re Sparrowhawks WWII gun


The gun issued to all SAS parachute assaulters is in fact supposed to be the U.S. M3a1.This was the best silenced smg during the late 60's and used by both Seals & USSF's in Vietnam.Its .45calibre slug has far better stopping power than 9mm IMO.

Hope this info helps.

I know Quickfire had a Tommy Gun that was used in WWII, but wasn't the Grease Gun that came with Sparrowhawk also used in WWII? I know the Action Force American Paratrooper had the same gun and he was based on a WWII US para wasn't he?

I'm not decrying the Grease Gun for being an old weapon, sometimes the old guns are the best, I mean weren't the Afghans still using old Britsh Lee Enfield bolt action rifles to fight the Soviets back in the 80s? Also the infamous AK-47 was first produced not long after the Grease Gun.

Even as a kid I found it funny that Action Force were equipped with a strange mix of weapons, from WWII era Bazookas, Tommy Guns, Sten Guns and Grease Guns, up to M60 machine guns, AK-47s, UZIs and SLRs, to the blue Space UZI and red Aqua AK-47, and strangest of all those blue laser rifle that Space Force used, I know they were just blue versions of the GI Joe Flash's gun, but where the heck did the design for that weapon come from? All t'other guns were based on real weapons (even if some were WWII era) but where did that laser rifle come from?

Yes we've sort of had this debate before on the "thank god for the SAS battle gear" type-threads, or maybe one of my rants, they were indeed WWII weapons, just as 's M60 is basically a spandau. To this day. After the Gear arrived, it was HK5's etc. all around. Persoenlich, I knicked a few modded SLR's from on occasion.

Oh, for the tages of Bluthund and an M16A4Mod. On which note, where the bluddy hoelle is Jimbo these days?

The laser guns, were, however, an act of genius on the part of Coalville's finest. Esp. the way they were wired into etc. kit. But maybe they were ripped off from a movie. Or even 2000AD. Strontium Dog anyone?

Afraid they were merely taken from GI Joe's Flash, along with several other designs/ideas (that really pains me to have to say that). However the creative genius to use it as such, well who knows?

I couldn't decide on which original force I prefered so I wimped out and chose AF

[Fabax]

The sas of course !
There are so good in black !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crimson Rage]

Tough to choose between Z and Q Force. Z-Force has more involvement in AF activities while Q-Force is a bit more 'mission specific' (obviously!), but I always liked the idea of sea battles against the Shadows.

Guess I'll vote for the Z-men, but Q-branch is close behind them!

Z FORCE
Yep, I voted on this one, based on my combined feelings towards the toy line and the stories in the comics.

Being a big fan of though, I was severely tempted to vote , as they were more likely to get their asses kicked!

because they had the nerve to jump into the sea wearing diving helmets with no glass in the windows.
