The syrian rebels, bless their freedom-loving hearts, make some really retarded looking weapons

I can't help but wonder if these are actually effective in any form, or are they more a psychological aid.

In Finland, everybody gets to defend the fatherland! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc4j_0jQE9s

The FDF just released a huge number of pictures from the national war archive. Here are two from the battle of Dick Hill.



A soldier aiming an automatic rifle was the description for this one.



And here are some soldiers building a cheval de fris. Improvised weapons and defences were pretty big because we were poor.

Both pictures come from SA-kuva, you can find a shitload more at the website https://www.sa-kuva.fi if you're interested in old photos from the Finnish wars. The descriptions are only in Finnish I think though. The website is pretty slow right now too, they just launched the site and it's getting much traffic.
