.30 Caliber Machine Gun

Armies often find similar solutions to similar problems.

The .30 caliber machine gun used by the US Army was not too different from the German machine gun.

I have taken the American water cooled machine gun and placed it on a German tripod.

The Germans used a lot of captured equipment, but I have no evidence for this particular combination.

Still, I think it is a reasonable combination.

I have given it to my George Washington Legion troops.

I placed the American machine gun and mount on the German machine gun tripod.

I suspect that the Germans could have done this.

It would not be a very difficult conversion.
