      well its not impossible to see a british with a G43 and the germans to have the Thompson since if the enemy is already dead and your out of ammo you can grab his weapon and ammo to use it for yourself the only reason doing that is not common is because if your captured and your enemy found out you have a weapon of theirs youll be executed since to get that weapon you have a high chance that you killed the owner of the weapon.

    The X-Craft submarines carried out a couple of very successful attacks during the war, the biggest one being the attack on the German Battleship Tirpitz where the side charges dropped did sufficient damage to the engines on the ship to just about immobilize it. Then the Lancasters took it out with 6 ton Tall Boy bombs.
    You need to work a bit on your description of the V-3. Basically it was what was called a high-velocity pumped gun. When a standard gun fires, the propellant gases exert a very high pressure on the base of the projectile, driving it forward. However, as the propellant gases expand, the pressure on the projectile is reduced and the velocity increase begins to decline. Eventually, if the barrel is long enough, the lower pressure is unable to increase the velocity of the projectile over the friction of the barrel, and the projectile begins to loose velocity. Gun barrels are not long enough for that to happen though. The pump gun works on the principal that as the projectile travels up the barrel, supplementary propellant charges are fired, maintaining the increase of gas pressure on the projectile, resulting in steadily increasing velocity. If the barrel is long enough and the charges function properly, you can achieve velocities in excess of a mile a second, which gives the gun a very long range. Iraq was working on this idea in order to shell Israel, but the Mossad managed to assassinate the guy behind the project, Gerald Bull.
