Looks like I'm limited to 20 pics at a whack. No worries! Here are a few more shots from the museum.

Gatling Gun - caliber unknown

Close combat

Winchester Model of 1866 Most of these were 44 rimfire caliber

Lewis gun (Belgian Rattlesnake)

Uniform collar devices

Quad Maxim mount

I'm not sure what this is

Captured Nebelwerfer

Weapons designed by M. Kalashnikov

No idea what these weapons might be
