Some photos I took at the Army Museum in Stockholm a little while back. Mostly stuff that has been added in the last, hm, five or so years since I last went through the place with a camera.
Starting with some standards captured at Narva, and most likely continuing until I get fed up with the Captcha.
R-12/SS-4 nucelar mid-distance missile nose cone.
10 barrel machinegun designed by Helge Palmcrantz in 1869. Abandoned due to reliability sisues, Palmcrantz went on to be part of creating the Nordenfeldt gun.
Field kitchen m/1916
Persian gendarmerie general's uniform.
A military police force was founded in Persia in 1911, headed by 36 Swedish officers, until they were recalled at the outbreak of the Great War.
Revolver m/1887
Pocket watch m/1912
Anti-tank rifle m/1921 (Swedish designation)
German WW1 armour.
Military grade lawn darts, and assorted trench toys.
Machinegun m/1942
These are very nice pics.
Swedish WW2 infantryman.
Japanese uniform for a colonel at the general staff.
It belonged to the military attaché to the Japanese embassy in Stockholm during WW2, Makoto Onodera. After the war he was called upon to surrender his sword to the American embassy. He refused, and instead gave it and his uniform to the Army Museum.
The purple piece of fabric is a bag for storing the sword. The flower-decorated bit is a woman's sash, which belogned to Yuriko Onodera. She helped her husband's intelligence gathering, for example by deciphering messages. She hid code books in the sash.
Anti tank rifle m/1939. The Lahti 20mm.
Carl Victor Leijonhufvud, 1822-1900. By and large the foudner of the museum. The uniform is probably from his artillery lieutenant general days.
Henschel 27, a late WW2 German AA rocket launcher. Total production 50 units. Used to protect airfields and bridgeheads against enemy bombers.
Nebelwerfer rocket, with the storage/transport box rigged up to serve as a lunch platform.
Goliath B
A bit or trinite, and some relics of the Swedish nuclear weapons program: various materials machined for implosion experiments and some heavy water.
More implosion experiment bits.

Accelerator tube of a van der Graf generator.
7.5cm tracer shell m/1939
24mm armoured tracer projectile* m/1949, sabot calibre 40mm.
50mm armoured tracer projectile m/1949. Sabot calibre not mentioned, I'd guess 80mm.
HEAT shell, seems I missed photographing the sign for it.
*This being the museums translation of spårljuspansarprojektil. I'm not sure it's a good one, they've certainly fucked up elsewhere. "Armoured" here ids, as you can probably guess despite the grammar claiming otherwise, that it's to be used against armour, not that the projectile itself is armoured.
USSR IDA-71 rebreather.
This particular unit appears to have gotten legs and walked off when the USSR shrank down to Russia. It was confiscated by Swedish police when a plot to kidnap Peter Wallenberg came to light in 1993.

>they've certainly fucked up elsewhere
Such as calling these Karolean cavalry swords being labelled in English as "smallswords".
Pistol fm/1903-1904.
The "Hamilton" pistol, a trial model the Swedish army didn't end up falling for.
Pistol fm/GF-W68
Another unsuccessful trial model, this time from 1965. Gas operated.
Ugglan recon UAV
The pink rifle was done up like that for a pacifist demonstration back in 1968. Donated to the Army Museum in 2011.
Pepperbox revolver suggested as Swedish army pistol, possibly the only pepperbox ever trialled for army use. Rejected. Designed by August Reinhold von Feilizen.
Stuff ca1500-early 16th century.
The "pretzelhilt" may be a very Swedish thing.
More 16th century, crossbow bolts and cavalry hammer.
Remains of a belt hook.
Camp life around the 30 years war.
Oven for heating cannonballs, making basic incendiary ammo. Make sure to use proper wadding.
The "barrel bouquet" is a ribaldequin, a burst fire weapon.
Below that is a cannon-launched fire arrow. The large lump would contain some incendiary mixture, probably mostly sulphur with a bit of saltpetre and little charcoal.
Pikeman's armour.
Some vests from the UN trip to Kosovo.
Trophy collection from the incident at Caglavica, 2004.
And to round things off, a crossbow displayed in the Tre Kronor castle museum.

Specifically it was for machinegunners who were in more vulnerable positions, this armor would stop and deflect pistol bullets up close and rifle bullets from far away.
There was also an attachment plate for the helmet to give even more head protection.
Heavy stuff, though it was really not intended for someone who was on the mobile, it did get used in trench raids sometimes.
good shit

Pansarprojektil isn't incorrect.
I've heard Estocs being described as "pansarvärja", which would roughly mean "armor piercing rapier"

>Pansarprojektil isn't incorrect.
It's the museum's choice of English term/translation that I'm a bit sceptical about, not the Swedish term, being Swedish ammo that bit is just the army's official designation.
>>30646257
Oh yeah, a lot of that stuff looks really weird in English.
Like, an RPG can be called a "Pansarskott", but you wouldn't translate it to "armored shot" because it'd be nonsense.

>wooden stock UZI
neat.
>>30647689
That's how they originally came, the collapsing stock was developed later.
There also exist a few with a solid plastic variant of this stock (which I like the most)
>>30643987
Oh boy!
