Providing essential support for the core of the army, these new Belgian units are key to keeping the Germans at bay.
Belgian Army Light Mortar & Sniper Teams
The Belgian sniper carried and operated the Fusil Mle 1935 rifle. Firing a 7.56mm round and with a scope attached, this rifle was lethal in the hands of a marksman.
The Belgian Army was armed with the Lance DBT 50mm Light Mortar. Similar in design and the same calibre as the Japanese knee mortar, this weapon provided Belgian platoons with close infantry support and was capable of firing 20 rounds per minute.
Belgian Army Medium Mortar
The Belgians used the 81mm Brandt mle 27/31 as its medium mortar support weapon. It was an effective weapon that was used by many nations. The Belgians also had a number of 7.58cm minenwerfer of World War I vintage.
Belgian Army MMG Team
The most common machine gun operated by the Belgian Army was the MG08/15 Maxim machine gun. The German-made weapon had a proven track record in World War I. The Belgians modified the Maxim to fire 7.65 rounds.
