The Korean War Series Project!

Chinese Small arms.

Interesting, I have been reading still more books on the Korean War, not for games but more for enjoyment and found some interesting sources on Chinese small arms. After the first night’s battle on Fox Hill from the book: The Last Stand of Fox Company, on page 130 and a few other pages, the Marines went out and recovered weapons and ammo from the Chinese dead that stacked up in front of their perimeter, as they were running out of ammunition themselves. They found: Thompson submachine guns, Russian burp guns, Japanese automatic rifles, British Lee-Enfields and Stens, American Springfields, khukri knives use by the Ghurka Infantry, to name a few. A lot of American equipment that was shipped to the Chiang Kai-shek by the boatloads in WWII and to the Chinese Civil War. Also 9-mm Luger pistols and some type of Belgians sniper rifles were found.

In other books they also mention Russian and Japanese bolt-action rifles and carbine rifles, Tokarev 7.62mm Semiautomatic Rifle, similar to the US BAR. Towards of the war, while on the offensive, the Chinese would carry mostly the Submachine Gun 7.62 PPSh 41 Burp Gun and grenades. Of course the 14.5mm Antitank Rifle but used a lot for long range snipping. They also had a wide variety of Machines but I’ll stick with the small arms for this posting. Interesting stuff!
