M1 Carbine semi-automatic rifle for NCOs' and Officers The M1 Carbine was a solid design manufactured by GM's headlight division Inland, IBM typewriter company, Rockola Jukebox company, Winchester and a couple of others. Designed by a former inmate, the M1 Carbine was under slightly powered, not having the stopping power GI's were used to with the Thompson, BAR and Garand. It was still a very effective weapon being both light in weight and effective in use. More M1 Carbines were made than any other small arm rifle during WWII.

M1 Garand semi-automatic battle rifle prop gun. The only semi-automatic battle rifle generally issued  during WWII. Germany issued a semi-auto rifle in the G43 with little success due to limited production. The US GI could fire 8 rounds without having to do any more than pull the trigger. Meanwhile the German soldiers were still using the K98 bolt action Mauser which required charging the bolt after every round. General George Patton referred to the Garand as " The greatest battle implement ever devised". The Garand, named for it's designer John Garand, truly was key to the triumph of the US military in WWII

A couple of guns from the late 40's and 50's

M14 Battle Rifle This is the US Army's replacement for the beloved M1 Garand. Based on the Garand it is basically an M1 Garand with a removable magazine. There are other improvements but basically it operates on the same platform as the Garand. My father related to me how disappointed he was when they took his M1 Garand and gave him his first M14. The rifle is really uncontrollable in the full-automatic mode due to the .3006 caliber bullet. Used in Korea and Viet Nam until being replaced by the M16 designed by Gene Stoner at Armalite.

AK47 This is claimed by many to be the most dependable assault rifle ever. Mikaeil Kalasnikov, an enlisted man within the Soviet military designed this assault rifle for which he received a medal. The AK47 is and has been the choice of rebels and terrorists the world over due to it's cheap manufacturing cost and reliability. This assault rifle has been responsible for more deaths than any other firearm in history.
