​Styrian Armory – Firearms Edition | Graz, Austria​​ 🛡️🔫

​​Styrian Armory​​ "The Silent Army" 💀 ​​Ticket​​: €12 | ​​Closed on Mondays​​ 🚫 This ​​armory museum​​ in Graz—right next to the City Hall—is the ​​world’s largest​​ collection of armor and cold weapons. It houses enough gear to equip ​​30,000 soldiers​​ 🪖💥 The building itself was constructed in ​​1642​​ and has ​​4 floors​​ 🏛️. ​​Firearms on display​​: From early ​​matchlock muskets​​ 🔥 to ​​muzzle-loading rifles​​, ​​carbines​​, and ​​cavalry muskets​​ 🏹. ​​Accessories include​​: 1️⃣ Various ​​plug bayonets​​, ​​ring bayonets​​, and ​​socket bayonets​​ 2️⃣ ​​Warhammer-style grip​​ single-shot pistols 🔫 3️⃣ ​​Gun holsters​​ 🧳 4️⃣ ​​Powder flasks​​ 🧪 5️⃣ ​​Lead shot pouches​​ ⚙️ 6️⃣ ​​Chevaux de frise​​ (anti-cavalry spikes) 🦴 7️⃣ Sadly, no battle paintings or war strategy displays 🎨❌ (but hey, it’s an armory, not an art gallery lol). 🎬 ​​Fun fact​​: Many ​​WWI movies​​ borrowed props from here 🎞️.
