Can't find any threads for people to post pictures of military stuff - old, new, active, broken.. whatever fits.

To get things started, a couple of Vickers machine guns attached to a jeep used by the SAS in WWII:

It's not all fun and giggles. I'm happy with my framing and the texture caused by the foreground crosses, and feel no guilt about taking photographic pride in capturing this scene:

Hell of a place to visit though.

I couldn't take the photographs that would really capture that place. I've never seen anything like Verdun. Everybody should visit.

This one from the Mexican independence parade in Oaxaca. First one with Olympus OM-D E-M5 and Olympus 12-40 PRO. Pretty sure this is army and not police.

Second one using Olympus 75 F1.8.

I don't think your average infantryman wanted to get this close to one of these during the war!

I was at the Tank Museum last week. I'm still processing the photographs

Lovely place to visit though, if you like vehicular combat.

I too was at the Bovington Tank Museum. We had a rainy day last week whilst we were on holiday in Dorset. I'm still working through my photos, but here is a focus stacked image:
