WW2 Video with 1928 TSMG

[Petroleum 1]

At 1:03 there is what looks like a Russian or polish partisan with a 1928 slung over his shoulder. Magazine looks odd to me.

He has Two taped magazines in the gun, whether they're 20 or 30 round I cant tell

Hmmm yup they look like 20s. I think i can see the follower in the spare one.

For those curious, i would assess the spare mag is loaded, I can see the shape of the back end of the rounds. I would also have to say those are prob XXX, I can see 3 witness holes and the length of the tape and poss end of the mag a XX would not be long enough.

I'm guessing that is not a lend lease gun ha probably picked up somewhere in his travels.

I would respectfully disagree with you on the thirty-round magazines. I believe it is pretty clear they are twenty-round magazines. Twenty-round magazines have four witness holes. Taking into consideration the perspective of the camera, I see two (2) witness holes and the back of the magazine. Accounting for the width of the tape it appears that two (2) more holes would be spaced before the back of the magazine. Besides that, I would expect a thirty-round magazine to be protruding farther past his left arm.

I can see the .45acp round now in the spare mag. I have to try that sometime and compare the reload time taking the mag from the pouch or doing it this way. I would think dirt could get into the upside down mag very easily and then spoil your day once it is flipped around and loaded. I can understand doing it that way with the XX mags though.

I see a third witness hole between the the two you have marked.

[bug]

Any chance that there's a third mag in that pile? I'm wondering what is inserted into the mag well.
