Ww2 Weapons

Today military weapons in World War 2 can be found in museums throughout the world, but imagine how it was back in 1939 to 1945 when the Nazi soldiers fought in the war with their pistols armed, and destructive rocket launchers in hand.

It also uses the cartridge .357 Magnum which has a flat top, but the force of the bolt firing, causes it to penetrate through its target.
