I see NO scope on the MG!

"Colorized pictures" is a better term. I have seen the original b&w versions of many of these and I'm sure a bunch of others here have as well.

No, its an enhancement. A color picture is a photograph produced by color film. A colorized picture is made by doctoring a black and white picture. Many photographers, and most cinematographers consider "colorizing" a corrupting process. Quite a few gun enthusiasts and collectors view "correcting" a firearm in the same light.

the best one's I have seen done were done by Peter Jackson's crew for They Shall Not Grow Old,

they did a great job 'colorizing' the old film, partially by using uniforms from his collection,


Daily Mail is known to be 'off' in the descriptions and titles of the pics,

That was my question. Not what you want for close-in combat.

Notice they are both on M1 rifles, not on M1917s which had been the standard grenade-launching rifle earlier in the war.
