The main weapon in 1936 was the Springfield 1903, 30.06 bolt
action rifle. The same year, the military adopted the M1 garand,
of course a few years later, very few had been produced for the
military and even less had been issued to the troops. When war
broke out, they then kicked production into full swing, but it took
time to produce, pack, ship, issue to the troops.

Isn't it true that they were afraid to issue the best weapon, the BAR,
cuz
they were afraid the Germans would get ahold of it and clone it?


During WWI that happened. We were issued the French made
POS Sho Sho, biggest POS.

Speaking of inferior weapons, how about the M16-A2? We got those the
last year I was in and they SUCKED! The -A1 was ok, but the -A2 had an
"improved" rear sight that jammed with nothing more than a grain of
sand, the handgards were round taking away that nice flat bottom that
was so great for offhand shooting, the barrels were beefed up but only
forward of the front sight making it muzzle-heavy, the bottom ports
were plugged on an already mediocre flash-suppressor..... basically
they took a halfways decent rifle and made it bad.


Yeah, but at least they made improvements since then.


Then there are those new kevlar helmets. Aside from the Nazi design
that cut down on your prehiprial vision, the webbing dug into the top
of your head and were a lot heavier than the good ol' steel pots. On
top of that, you couldn't do anything with the new helmets except wear
them -- the steel pots were great because they were good for cooking,
washing, puking, etc, etc.


LOL!! Take your word for it.


And the flack jackets.... they could stop a .22 LR but that's about
it. There were fiberglass liners available for them but were never
issued. The jackets with the liners could stop a .45 ACP and 9mm at
point-blank range, and even stopped a 30-30 at about 100 yards (we
went plinking one day in the Mojave).

There were a lot of -great- weapons, too. Like the M-60. It had an
occasional runaway problem (trigger would get stuck) and maybe a
cookoff now and then, but as long as your ammo-man kept squirting CLP
onto the barrel and into the action you could chew up belt after belt
after belt. The old .45 was great, too. It kicked, it was loud, and
the hammer would cut the web between your thumb and finger, but I
would gladly accept those minor discomforts when facing a combatant at
close range than put my trust in a relatively puny 9mm.


I've fired the m60, its based upon the German MG42 design. I own a
US Army issued Remington Rand 1911A1 45, I think it's one
of the best designed guns around.


Anyway, I'm done ranting for today.
