Print Up The PIAT! 

My friend Martin and the guys at Lead, Thread & Bread Reenactment Supplies on Malta have very kindly put together a couple of 3D models of the PIAT bomb and shared them with us to help support The Armourer’s Bench.

They’re available for TAB Patreon supporters to download here – www.patreon.com/posts/51046435​. This is just an extra thank you perk for your support!

Of course if you don’t have a 3D printer handy, then there are other ‘thank you’ perks available too including personal, handwritten thank you notes on custom illustrated postcards featuring an illustration of the internals of the HK G11 & stickers! Check those out here!

Thanks for supporting Historical Firearms & The Armourer’s Bench, it means so much to me! - Matt

Postcard from Fort Benning

Above is a postcard sold at Fort Benning, Georgia (home of the United States Army Infantry School) it depicts a rifle squad in various fighting positions with the ‘new’ M14 Rifle.  The superimposed caption (originally printed on the reverse) explains how the M14 has replaced 3 categories of infantry weapon previously used by the US Army.  It was intended to replace the M1 Garand semi-automatic battle rifle, the .45 calibre submachine gun and the Browning Automatic Rifle.  The M14 would prove not to be as 'versatile’ as hoped, it was too light to function as a light machine gun and too heavy to be fired fully automatic to replace the submachine gun.
