GUNS: Prelude to a WW2 and early Cold War TL

I've been brainstorming a bit lately, and while I haven't put down much yet, I'm planning to make a TL that starts somewhere in the late 20s and ends in the late 50s, with a gradual butterfly effect (barely any until the mid 30s, and a quite different world around 1950). As of now, though, I'm been manely focusing on the armaments, including early assault rifles with intermediate cartridges. Yes, I know 'somehow technology x is invented much sooner!'-type timelines are rather annoying, but I'll promise to make the actually technological speed-up quite minor, instead opting for a different evolution of technology.

As a tease, I'll display some weapons from quite late in the TL. Nothing's final, though.
First, the M4 Rifle.

I'll post sum' more in a few days time. I've got some relaxing to do over the weekend, but then I'll you all about the AK 44 and the FN CAL. ;)
