The BAR was difficult to master since it had a strong recoil spring and an open bolt, but all men in the squad were trained on how to operate and fire the weapon at a very basic level in the event that the designated operators were unable to fire.
The Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) was also a part of the standard issue and was the sole automatic fire support for an eight-man squad. The M1 carbine was the first carbine rifle to be developed under the naming system the US started in 1925. Many troops who were unable to use a full-size rifle as their primary weapon effectively used the M1 Carbine. Because of how lightweight and easy it was to use, the M1 carbine was used by the US in the Korean and Vietnam wars as well. This rifle was one of the most commonly used American weapons during WWII and was a part of the standard issue to the American troops. This was one of the more popular ww2 American machine guns. The gun was a replacement for the M1 Thompson sub machine guns and provided a lighter and more accurate weapon. This gun has been used in countless WWII movies and documentaries, including Band of Brothers, The Dirty Dozen, and Inglorious Bastards. This machine gun is more commonly referred to as the “Grease Gun” or even “the Greaser” because it looks very similar to a greaser tool that a mechanic would use. The team often had to expose their bodies in order to obtain a clear field of fire against any armored targets. However, due to extremely high casualty rates, the bazooka fire team was not a coveted spot during the war. When the M1A1 was first introduced, it had far more reliable ammunition firing than the previous M1 and was particularly effective against pillboxes and concrete bunkers. The M1A1 bazooka accounted for destroying multiple German tanks. The list has to begin with one of the original bazookas most commonly used by US troops during WWII. The weapons used by the American troops that served in WWII were instrumental in bringing peace and freedom to the US and hundreds of other countries in the world. Below is a list we've put together of the top five WWII Weapons used during the war by American soldiers: Let’s take a look back at some of the best American WWII Weapons that led to many of the modern weapons that the US uses today.
