https://forgottensteel.wordpress.com/2010/08/13/we-m1911a1-stripping
Musings on the Military History Juggernaut. WE M1911A1 – Stripping. August 13, 2010. The following is my short guide for field stripping to clean WE’s excellent M1911A1 airsoft pisto. L I love this gun, I’ve put hundreds of rounds through it in the short time I’ve owned it and it’s never failed (with the right gas! The main reason for me writing this guide is that the one supplied with the gun is, frankly, crap. You can also do an easy basic strip by following instructions for the real M1911A1 here.

About | Forgotten Steel
https://forgottensteel.wordpress.com/about
Musings on the Military History Juggernaut. Greetings, web traveller! I am a PhD student in War Studies. This is an extension of my website “Forgotten Steel”,. Which is primarily where I publicise bits of my research and generally write about the independent brigades. This blog is designed to be a bit more general than that site, to allow me cover all aspects of military history and historiography. As well as the PhD, I am currently heading up Llanishen Local History Society’s War Memorial Project. In ad...

The 100-Year Old Miracle – Mr Colt’s M1911 | Forgotten Steel
https://forgottensteel.wordpress.com/2010/08/13/the-100-year-old-miracle-mr-colts-m1911
Musings on the Military History Juggernaut. The 100-Year Old Miracle – Mr Colt’s M1911. August 13, 2010. Comparison of the two basic types of 1911. Is a masterpiece of weapon design. Simple, but very effective. Firing .45-calibre ACP* ammunition, it packs a wallop not matched by the equally good Glocks and Berettas. Small wonder that it is favoured by hard-hitting forces like the US Marines and Special Forces. If you want a sidearm that will save you, the 1911 is the way to go. From → Airsoft. Major armo...

Musings on the Military History Juggernaut. Wittmann – Hero or Villain? June 13, 2010. Today is the 66th anniversary of Michael Wittmann’s famed attack on Villers-Bocage. This assault, subject of continuing debate to this day, saw Wittmann and his crew destroy a significant number of British armoured vehicles both outside and inside Villers-Bocage in a short period of time, before their Tiger was immobilised and they were forced to flee on foot. Wittmann sat on the gun of his Tiger. June 12, 2010. 8221; ...

Musings on the Military History Juggernaut. Year of the Eagle. March 4, 2011. Well it’s been an aeon since I made any postings on here. Life has been cruel and kind these long, empty months, but this is not the sort of blog to wax lyrical about the intricacies of my tedious existence. Suffice it to say, I hope to make sure Forgotten Steel remains Forgotten no longer. More from the CP next time. Two of the South Wales Screaming Eagles with a battle trophy. From → General.

The Next Generation? | Forgotten Steel
https://forgottensteel.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/160
Musings on the Military History Juggernaut. June 18, 2010. Reposted (or should that be shamelessy pillaged? From the UK WW2 Reenacting forums. Because I like it…. While there’s a lot of truth there, the gamers playing Call of Duty et alare the next generation of historians and re-enactors, so frankly anything that drops the nugget of interest in the war is a good thing, especially with the WW2 generation sadly beginning to leave us.

Musings on the Military History Juggernaut. The Glorious Stand of the Tsar’s 10th Regiment – A Fictional Battle. July 19, 2010. It was a cold autumn afternoon in the sodden fields west of Astrakhan. The rain drizzled intermittently, forcing the men to keep their locks covered. They shivered amidst the tall grass, listening intently for the sound they knew would come. Blinding Sun attempting to flee, moments before he is shot down by the 10th. But the men refused to go. They knew they were needed in t...

Musings on the Military History Juggernaut. An Icon of Warfare – General Thompson’s Magnificent Trench-Clearing Invention. July 14, 2010. I haven’t written much lately, either here or for my PhD. I blame this accursed heatwave we’re having here in the UK. It’s most unnatural for this time of year. I mean, in July we British should be drowning in rain, not living with wall to wall sunshine! An M1928 Thompson fitted with a 50-round drum magazine, the type beloved by Chicago gangsters. You are commenting us...
