Talk:Solothurn S-18/1000

Origin
I changed the origin back to Switzerland. While it was a German company's subsidiary producing the weapon for use by Germany, the weapons themselves were all produced in Switzerland. If you can provide a compelling reason to change the origin to Germany I'm willing to listen, and the Solothurn weapons are rather complicated in history, but for now I think the most straightforward definition of "place of origin" is the country of manufacture. -FrYGuY 05:49, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Popular Culture
A Solothurn S-18/1000 is prominently featured in the book, "Unintended Consequences" along with the Lahti L-39 which is similar and fires the same ammunition. The main character, Henry Bowman, prefers the Solothurn over the Lahti due to the Lahti's downward ejection tending to damage the casings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.232.94.33 (talk) 09:00, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

In addition, the character prefers the Solothurn's ability to be disassembled into 3 pieces (confirm this?) to the Lahti's single-unit design, which would seriously impede the portability. 1927metropolis (talk) 07:04, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Use in sweden
Found some references to the Solothurn S-18/1000 having use in sweden under the name Pansarvärnskanon m/1939. Altho all i have found are some pictures of the gun with that name in the Army museum(in Stockholm) collections, as well as a site(http://www.armehandbok.se/Sida_1022.htm) that shows how the gun and it's crew would be organised in the 1950's — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.65.174.160 (talk) 11:24, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
