British Airborne Weapons Teams

British forces were armed with a 2-inch mortar for close support. Two men were required to operate it. An NCO was responsible for carrying and firing the weapon, while the other carried ammunition. Weighing less than 11 lbs and offering an effective range of 500 yards, these mortars were quick to maneuver and deploy as needed.

Snipers were armed with a SMLE No.4 Rifle equipped with a No.32 Mk.1 telescopic sight. The team carried fifty rounds of ammunition, five tracer rounds, and five armor-piercing rounds. Two No.36 Mills bombs or two No.77 smoke grenades were also carried, along with binoculars and a camouflage net.

The portable flamethrower used by British forces was the Ack Pack. Weighing 64 lbs, the Ack Pack could be carried and operated by a single man. Fully loaded, the Ack Pack was capable of ten bursts, each lasting two seconds. With a range of fifty yards, it was a truly fearsome weapon that excelled in clearing bunkers and buildings.
