Notes | The Wz.30 was another Browning design and were issued to the troops after lengthy tests done with a number of other weapons, in which the Browning won. It was built without a patent to Polish modifications and these included a change to 7.92mm, new sights and a longer barrel. The Wz.30 was issued to infantry and cavalry formations and issued to machine gun companies. |
