	Weapons
		The M1.30 cal rifle or Garand was the primary weapon of the infantryman.
		The WWII version was designated the 1911A1 and can be recognized by the arched mainspring housing at the rear of the grip.
		Revolvers were not in common usage amongst infantry personnel, however, they could be found as personally furnished firearms or as the results of trades with Navy personnel.

	gun holsters resources
		A firearm is a weapon that fires either single or multiple projectiles propelled at high velocity by the gases produced through rapid, confined burning of a propellant.
		A distinction is sometimes made between the projectile itself as the weapon and the firearm as a weapons platform.
		The first "rapid firing" weapons were usually similar to the 19th-century Gatling gun, which would fire cartridges from a magazine as fast as and as long as the operator turned a crank.

	List of weapons that shoot other weapons that don't exist, but should - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		This weapon was used by the Belgians to hold off the Germans in World War I at the Battle of Skull's Forge, although mystery surrounds this event due to the fact that this so-called Belgium doesn't really exist.
		However, if such a weapon were used today, when we believe that the Earth revolves around the sun, we would come to the horrible realization that firing a sun would cause all matter within radius of 700,000 km would meet an end similar to being thrown into a crematory alive.
		Often drunk teens use this weapon to cook s'mores and to set other dead animals on fire, though they can become irresponsible under the influence of alcohol and fire the weapon at dead trees and other flammable objects (the camp stove propane tank is commonly first to go).

	Firearms
		A firearm is a device that can be used as a weapon that fires either single or multiple projectiles propelled at high velocity by the gases produced through rapid, confined burning of a propellant.
		The earliest depiction of a gunpowder weapon is the illustration of a fire-lance on a mid-10th century silk banner from Dunhuang.
		In contrast, light machine guns (such as the U.S. military's M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) and the M60 machine gun, both of which are small-caliber firearms) are often wielded by a single infantryman; they provide a high rate of fire typically used as either suppressing fire or covering fire during infantry movement.

		It was here that the infantry reported to C Company that the bursting WP shells had sent hundreds of Germans screaming into the river to ease their burning flesh where particles of flaming phosphorous had struck them.
		Company D began supporting the advance of the 11th Infantry, 5th Division, by laying a smoke screen that was maintained for five and a half hours, permitting the infantry to reach the fort without observation from the nearby Fort Marivel.
		The infantry crossed the Moselle that day in assault boats, captured Fort Koenigsmacher, and beat off several counter-attacks, but were left in a precarious position as a result of the heavy rains which flooded the river and made it almost impossible to construct a bridge.

		Infantry were identified as potentially receiving the highest exposures, and the expected health outcomes included cancers and kidney problems.
		Weapons may only be used in the legal field of battle, defined as legal military targets of the enemy in war.
		A weapon that is used or continues to act after the war is over violates this criterion.

	Carbine at AllExperts
		A shorter weapon was more convenient when riding on horses, but it was also more convenient when riding in a truck, armored personnel carrier, helicopter or aircraft, and also when engaged in close-range combat.
		A selective-fire weapon was developed to fire this shorter cartridge, eventually resulting in the Sturmgewehr 44, later translated as "assault rifle".
		A list of firearms not covered by the NFA due to their antique or Curio and Relic status may be found here[1]; this list includes a number of carbines with barrels less than the minimum legal length.

		In this fourth title of their sequence author and artist describe and illustrate the developments in unit organization, uniforms and equipment during 1943--45, including information on European and Eastern volunteer units; text and illustrations are supported by detailed tables.
		Hitler's airborne troops were involved in some of the most daring actions of the whole war; from the 1940 assault on Eben Emael and the invasion of Crete in 1941, to the rescue of Mussolini and the attempt on Tito's life.
		This sentiment was common to Dutch sailors and Italian flak crews, to Cossack cavalry and Croatian pilots; and it is emphasised by the enormous increase in volunteers following the German invasion of Russia, from a basis of practically nothing before that date.

		The one used in WWII Online comes from the earliest batch, because it is the one most likely found in Tunisia and Sicily where the next battles will be fought.
		This weapon is generally of limited use since you'll want to keep your Tiger well back from any close infantry fighting, but when multi-crewed the driver can use this weapon to guard the tank against forward infantry assaults.
		The best bet for dealing with these beasts is to track them at extremely long range, leaving them in a field to rust, then getting out of their line of sight so they cannot do the same to you.

		Furthermore, it was often difficult and frequently impossible to identify the lethal weapon from the appearance of the wound or the missiles recovered at autopsy.

	Chapter X: Aid to Britain versus Rearming of America
		Army anxiety over weapons was over the newer types of weapons that were not on hand, and over American industry's unreadiness to produce promptly the great quantities that a wartime mobilization would require.
		It is noticeable that the list, submitted in answer to a request from the Chief of Staff and resubmitted that day to the President, was made up of items far larger than ever before mentioned as surplus.
		Its first phase contemplated 2 field armies (1 in operating condition), 9 corps (5 operating), 27 infantry divisions (9 in operating condition), 4 armored divisions, 2 cavalry divisions (incomplete), and 1 cavalry brigade; units not in operating condition were to be 80 to 90 percent complete in men and materiel.

		Gas weapons destroyed the tactical advantage of the defender and would eventually force infantry combat out of the claustrophobic trenches made necessary by the high rate of fire brought about by the repeating rifle.
		A good list Kill, but I may have to disagree with placement and the omission of Long Pike used by the Swedish mercenary armies, essentially ending the reign of the knights as a viable power source and instead replacing them with common soldiers.
		Perhaps the weapon itself will change, but the IED is representative of a tactical problem we have not yet solved and will ponder for decades to come.

		This comparison of weapons to casualties is not, Dupuy points out, a simple matter of matching numbers to numbers; instead, the analysis requires knowledge not only of the numbers of weapons, but also of their various types and respective lethality.
		This latter Dupuy and his colleagues define as the ability of a weapon to kill personnel and render equipment ineffective in a given time period, where the capability of the weapon depends upon weapon range, rate of fire, accuracy, radius of effects and battlefield mobility.
		The TLI of an individual weapon, however, had to be converted into an Operational Lethality Index (OLI), which is done by applying to the TLI the "Dispersion Factor", the area in square kilometers occupied by a tactically deployed military force of 100,000 soldiers.
