Webley Revolver 1890-1970

The Webley Revolver (also known as the Webley Top-Break Revolver or Webley Self-Extracting Revolver) was, in various designations, a standard issue service pistol for the armed forces of the United Kingdom, and countries of the British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations, from 1887 to 1970. 


The Webley is a top-break revolver and breaking the revolver operates the extractor, which removes cartridges from the cylinder. 


The Webley Mk I service revolver was adopted in 1887 and the Mk IV rose to prominence during the Boer War of 1899–1902. The Mk VI was introduced in 1915, during wartime, and is the best-known model. 


Firing large .455 Webley cartridges, Webley service revolvers are among the most powerful  top-break revolvers produced. 


The .455 calibre Webley is no longer in military service. As of 1999, the .38/200 Webley Mk IV variant was still in use as a police sidearm in a number of countries.

The Colt M1911 (also known as 1911, Colt 1911 is a single-action, recoil-operated, semi-automatic pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. The pistol's formal U.S. military designation as of 1940 was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911 for the original model adopted in March 1911, and Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911A1 for the improved M1911A1 model which entered service in 1926. The designation changed to Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, M1911A1 in the Vietnam War era.


Designed by John Browning, the M1911 is the best-known of his designs to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. The pistol was widely copied, and this  operating system rose to become the preeminent type of the 20th century  and of nearly all modern centerfire pistols. It is popular with civilian  shooters in competitive events.


The U.S. military procured around 2.7 million M1911 and M1911A1  pistols during its service life. The pistol served as the standard-issue  sidearm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1985

Lee Enfield 1895-1957

Colt 1911 Pistol 1920-1985

The STEN (or Sten gun) is a British submachine gun chambered in 9×19mm which was used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and post war including the Korean War. 


The Sten was a simple design with very low production cost for mass production to meet demand for submachine guns.   


As well as equipping regular units, the Sten was distributed to  resistance groups within occupied Europe; its simple design making it an  effective insurgency weapon for resistance groups.  


The Sten is a select fire, blowback-operated weapon which mounts its magazine on the left. Sten is an acronym, from the names of the weapon's chief designers, Major Reginald V. Shepherd and Harold J. Turpin, and "En" for the Enfield factory. Around four million Stens in various versions were made in the 1940s, making it the second most produced submachine gun of the Second World War, after the Soviet PPSh-41. 


The Sten served as the basis for the Sterling submachine gun, which replaced the Sten in British service from the 1950s.

The Sterling submachine gun is a British submachine gun (SMG). It was tested by the British Army in 1944–1945, but did not start to replace the Sten until 1953. 


A successful and reliable design, it remained standard issue in the British Army until 1994, when it began to be replaced by the L85A1, a bullpup assault rifle.


In 1944, the British General Staff issued a specification that the new weapon should weigh no more than six pounds (2.7 kg), should fire 9×19mm Parabellum ammunition, have a rate of fire of no more than 500 rounds per minute, and be sufficiently accurate to allow five consecutive shots (fired in semi-automatic mode) to be placed  inside a one-foot-square (30 cm × 30 cm) target at a distance of 100 yd  (91 m). 


In service from 1953 - 1994 so suited for production of that period or later.

The Lee–Enfield is a bolt-action, magazine-fed repeating rifle that served as the main firearm of the military forces of the British Empire and Commonwealth during the first half of the 20th century, and was the standard service rifle of the British Armed Forces from its official adoption in 1895 until 1957.


A redesign of the Lee–Metford (adopted by the British Army in 1888), the Lee–Enfield superseded the earlier Martini–Henry, Martini–Enfield, and Lee-Metford rifles. It featured a ten-round box magazine which was loaded with the .303 British cartridge manually from the top, either one round at a time or by means of five-round chargers. 


The Lee–Enfield was the standard issue weapon to rifle companies of the  British Army, colonial armies (such as India and parts of Africa), and  other Commonwealth nations in both the First and Second World Wars (such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada). 


Although officially replaced in the United Kingdom with the L1A1 SLR in 1957.


Suited for productions over a wide period from 1985 to 1960+.
