You should call it a "stingy choice"

Any way these are very fine drawings and the added info panel is instructive as well

Great work though would be nice to remove references to Battlefield 1 on "real designs" templates ;)

Kb ppanc wz. 35 was not developed in secrecy from "the superiors", but just from the outsiders. To maintain secrecy, the production contract was obfuscated as a delivery of normal-ish Mauser rifles to Uruguay. And finished weapons (together with necessary equipment) were stored in crates marked "surveying equipment - do not open" (nor surveillance meaning "observation", but "map-making") and were considered top-secret "mobilization only" stock, to be opened only upon direct personal orders from Minister of Military Affairs (which was given for the first time on 15 July 1939, to acquaint weapons instructors with the weapons, with wider training conducted only in the last weeks before war).

Also, I'm not sure what You mean by "oversized caliber" - 7,92mm is actually a small caliber for anti-tank weapon. And 7,92mm DS was "material-wise" quite typical rifle cartridge, just with longer case to accomodate more propellant to give it higher velocity (1300m/s). Bullet itself had a standard design with soft lead core coated in metal jacket. Typical anti-tank (rifle) ammunition have core made of hard metals like tungsten (or hardened steel) in order to pierce the armor. Ammo for wz. 35 instead splattered on the armor and transferred it's kinetic energy into it, blowing a +/-20mm hole (or at the very least caused it to delaminate) creating a hail of splinters inside).

I might've meant by the casing, but it may also due to the fact that I know nothing about the history of Polish weaponry & their backgrounds OR that I have absolutely no clue what I'm typing when I'm writing up a summary about it.
In the meanwhile, here's the deadly walrus.

Nice. And in fact it was deadly, but not quite walrus. Indeed "mors" is Polish word for walrus, but in this case it was rather Latin "death". (In the same vein, name of pistol Vis was for Latin "strength" but was also wordplay on initials of designers: "Wilniewczyc i Skrzypiński")

One thing - not specifically relate to this drawing, but more general - these triggers (on Mors, wz. 1935 and some others) look horribly thick. What about doing them 1-pixel-thick (or maybe 1-black+1-grey pixel thick)?
