Adolf Hitler Weapons
Walther P38 Pistol: First appearing in 1938, the Walther P38 was manufactured to arm citizens of the Third Reich, and replace the venerable Luger & Mauser pistols. In particular the Luger is a good pistol, but sometimes the construction of the pistol can make it difficult to undo a jam, as well as a host of small problems. Although it fought side by side with the Luger & Mauser, the Walther did not replace them. However, that doesn't mean that it wasn't a bad pistol. For starters, the Walther was cheaper to produce, and was shorter length wise. The Walther also had the advantage of having a exposed hammer, which made ejected a jammed round easier to do.

MP40 Submachine Gun: Before the MP40 (and it's predecessor, the MP38), submachine guns were manufactured with metal parts, and a wooden stock. The MP18, MP28, and MP35 were all very sturdy and reliable guns, and they rarely if ever had a problem. With the MP40 (and the MP38), there were some major changes, both good & bad. For starters, the MP38 & MP40 were made completely out of steel, which made these cheaper to make. Secondly, both guns had folding stocks, which meant that the gun could switch from compact or not in a instant. However, these submachine guns also came with a host of problems, including jamming if the user used the magazine as a grip, and the stock was relatively week when it was used in hand to hand combat.

MP44 Assault Rifle: Without this gun, the assault rifle class of firearms would never exist. Even the term "Assault Rifle" has a legend. Supposidely, the term came about by Hitler himself. When he first caught wind of the weapon, he had an intense dislike for it. However, after he saw it in action, he had a change of heart. Even with his change in opinion, he didn't like the appearance of the gun. So, he and the Nazi Propaganda machine came up with the name Strumgewehr, or "Storm Rifle" to offset the appearance. The rest, whether real or imagined, is history.

German Stick Grenade: More properly known as the Model 24 Grenade, this explosive was one of the most recognizable infantry weapons of the 20th century. First introduced in 1915, the Model 24 got the nickname "Stick Grenade" because of the wooden handle attached to the explosive device. Filled with good-old fashioned TNT, the grenade was carried in wooden crates to avoid exploding by accident. When thrown, the 5-second fuse burned down, and the explosion sent shrapnel and heat into anyone within the blast.

Kim Jong Ill Weapons
Makarov Pistol: Arriving in 1949, the Makarov Pistol replaced the Nagant 1895 Revolver & Tokarev TT-33 Pistol as the standard sidearm for the Russian police and military. The pistol was a very compact and light weapon, coming in at just 730 grams. With an effective range of 50 meters, it was quite accurate. The Makarov also had a clip size of 8 rounds, although certain models could be equipped with 10-round or 12-round clips.

Mini-Uzi Submachine Gun: A weapon commonly found in the hands of terrorists and bodyguards alike. The Mini-Uzi is a more recent gun, having been developed from the original Uzi in 1982 and 1983. The Mini-Uzi is just that, a smaller version of the Uzi. Because of it's smaller size, the Mini-Uzi has a much higher rate of fire than it's parent firearm. The Mini-Uzi has a side-folding stock instead of a stock folding out from the back, and it's smaller size makes it much more concealable.

Type 68 AKM Assault Rifle: Directly descended from the legendary AK-47, the Type 68 AKM Assault rifle is the primary weapon of North Korea. The M in the gun's name means modernized, and distances itself from the older AK-47. The Type 68 AKM has better receivers, better parts, and a variety of other features that make it a more superior gun than it's progenator

RGD-5 Grenade: If the AK-47 is Russia's most plentiful assault rifle, then the RGD-5 Grenade is Russia's most plentiful explosive. Designed back in 1950, the RGD-5 was brought into service in the Russian Army in 1954. Today, the grenade is still being used by many of the Arab states and former allies of the Soviet Union. The grenade itself is filled with 110 grams of TNT, a very famous explosive substance. With a fuse length of 3.2 to 4 seconds, the RGD-5 explodes quickly, sending shrapnel up to 15 to 20 meters, killing anything in it's explosive radius.
