My google-fu is failing me. I cannot figure out what kinda gun that is. At first, I thought it was a luger, but then I looked at his forearm ---

The black soldiers left arm behind his back. He is holding something not easily visible. If it were 2016 I’d say he’s holding a walkie talkie. But this is WW1. No clue. ---

The german soldier has a Luger P08 mounted as a rifle, and that thing is an extended magazine. ![tumblr_kw5tywmlKN1qzw2tto1_500.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/4/f/4fb8884e2363dbb3c08958393d81ebb3468432b4.jpeg) ![DJY4310-Z-O2-O.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/0/1/019057c5e320ef9b306472efce1e92b1babc32d0.jpeg) ---

My best quess is that it’s a trench club with a lanyard to prevent dropping it, tho apparently not used. He has a handgun handy, so he’s probably readying for close combat. It’s not binoculars, which might have had a lanyard, or a US trench knife because that one has ‘brass knuckles’ and would need no lanyard. Theoretically, it could be a trench shovel he’s hiding. ---

The german is also wearing a heavy coat and a scarf, so he’s either deployed on the eastern front to fight the Russians or most likely he’s an airman. ---

To be specific he has an Artillery Luger with the 32 round snail drum and the rifle is a tricky one. It sort of looks like a US M1917 Enfield. It has a very prominent rear sight post and the dip in the butt of the stock is like the M1917. Idk why a German has it but then again the first art showed a Harlem Hell fighter with 2 German weapons. Or it could be a British P14 rifle. Both the M1917 and the P14 are the same rifle accept one is chambered for the British .303 the Other for the US 30-06. Funny thing when the US chambered them in 30-06 they capacity went from 5 to 6 making the rifle weird to load since stripper clips only hold 5. The other soldier has a M1911.
