Looks like the front 20 mm on an E-boat, guessing (if the same as land version) a German 20mm Flak 30 or 38. You can see the magazines arranged around the gun tub.

Actually ... my TAR time wasn't too bad. Most (not all ... but most) of our reservists left the equipment intact when they went back home.

Then when I became a weekend reservist ... I actually got to drill with some WWII vets ... during the mid eighties. They were in their sixties then. One of them was a gunner's mate and had a story about being reactivated when one of our old BB's was brought out of mothballs because there wasn't anyone on active duty to show the "kids" how to fire "the big guns."

2 cm forward gun from a Schnellboat. Hard to identify the class in that photo Brady, maybe an S-38 class? Later class like I think there was a 42 or something. I know they had some name classes too.

S-Boat, it is:)

2cm MG C/30, it is:)

Nice Picks Staga, I have one From the Imperial War Museum I ordered and framed from the same place and time as the top pick you have their, beleave it was when they were being turned over after the war, but a good studdy of the Boat to be shure.

Man I would love to see one of the S-100 Boats modeled for use in AH, they bristled with 20mm mounts and had a 37mm on the stern, Armor and great spead and of course torp's.
