Appears to be a version of the sten gun, though what looks to be a folding stock has me stumped, I don't remember any stens equipped that way.

Didn't mean to just put the pix. Text is being uncooperative.

The first one is 1) A kind of flamethrower, possibly very early model, or 2) A piece of equipment the Terminix exterminator man would be using.

Edit: First image is definitely a FT, the Red Army ROKS-3. "The flame gun was designed to resemble a rifle to conceal its function, as flamethrower operators usually attracted a great deal of enemy attention and fire." per Bishop. Sort of like the NFL: Having the ball tends to attract a corwd.

Not an early model, either, the ROKS-3 was the standard Red Army backpack FT from late 1941 on, it was a simplified version of the -2, easier to manufacture and accordingly easier to use in the field. The image is exactly the same as the one in the Bishop WW2 Weapons Encyclopedia.

Here's another. It's difficult to find images of these things without the infantry units present. That would be too easy. lol

Jim, our Military History Association holds a shooting competition each year, weapons used are WW2 era or earlier.

The person who wins the Nagant competition is named 'Bolshevik of the Year' and gets a fine prize: A soviet style military cap (that old pointed one) with the text 'Bolshevik of the Year' embroided in it in Finnish and Russian :)

There is also a somewhat unofficial rule that the person must wear the cap in our meetings...
