What REALLY Happened to Britain’s No.4 Mk I(T) Sniper Rifle After WW2

Описание: What happened to Britain's deadliest precision weapon after the guns fell silent in 1945?

Over 26,000 No.4 Mk I(T) sniper rifles fought across Europe and the Pacific during World War II. Each rifle was hand-selected, fitted with expensive No.32 telescopic sights, and issued to elite marksmen whose training took months. But when peace arrived, these weapons faced an uncertain fate.

This documentary reveals:
• The race between US, UK, and Soviet forces to capture precision weapons
• Secret testing at Aberdeen Proving Ground and Soviet facilities
• Combat service in Palestine, Malaya, Korea, Cyprus, and Aden
• Why 9,000 rifles were systematically destroyed in the 1970s
• How fewer than 2,000 survive today worth over £8,000 each
• The museums and collections preserving these rare artifacts

From the armouries of Enfield to the jungles of Malaya, from frozen Korean hillsides to museum display cases, discover the forgotten journey of Churchill's silent assassins. Learn why the Soviets wanted British sniper technology, how tropical climates destroyed expensive optics, and what it takes to authenticate these rare rifles today.

If you're fascinated by military history, forgotten weapons, or the untold stories of what happened after the victory parades ended, this is for you.
