re: #344 Feline Fearless Leader

A quick follow-up note on the UK Army. The tech they developed for their infantry pretty much carried them through WW2 as well. Service rifle was the same Lee-Enfield Mk IV. Medium Machine gun was the Vickers. Their Lewis Light MG was still around in places, but was supplemented by the Bren in the late 30s (an adaptation of a Czech design,) And their officers still carried around the same revolvers.

Not so well with SMGs. Were purchasing Thompsons from the US and developed a pretty raw looking SMG known as the Sten.

Actually, the UK largely transitioned from the .455 Webley Model 6 to the .38 caliber Enfield No.2 revolver between the two world wars.
