[ARC5] [Milsurplus] What is the difference between a RBM and RBS receiver?

[Mike Morrow]

The GF-11 and RU-16 (assuming the likely model numbers) can be seen to the left of the left-most operator, under a newspaper.

The other two operators are each armed with the M1911A1 .45ACP pistol in a M1916 holster.  The center operator appears to have the cleaning rod jury-rigged to the holster.

There are Japanese characters on the back of the center chair.

Interesting photo indeed!
