UB-Boat machine gun
Posted by: chrisheal ()

Hello

Can anyone please help me with information about the machine gun on the early ub-boats. I'm looking particularly at UB 12. 8 mm? Anti-aircraft (and for stopping sailing ships and small unarmed steamers)? Normally 1,600 rounds? Fixed on deck? Did the gun need any protection from sea water? Ammunition belts lugged up from below every time the boat surfaced? Any other thoughts? Bit confused about how this all worked.

Best wishes
Chris Heal
