thunderbolt47 is an unknown quantity at this point
The two weapons used during WWII that really grab my attention is the Browning Automatic Rifle and the Sturmgewehr 44. I have done some research on both and really my favirot is the B.A.R. This weapon was far more effective and had quite a punch to it. Even though it was heavy and surely got a little anyoning after lugging it all over the the Pacific or France it saved a lot of soldiers and Marines lives.

The StG. 44 on the other hand was a weapon unlike any other. It was the first assault rifle. There happen to be many flaws with it though. It couldn't sustain rough weather, it was poorly made, the stock was uncomfortable, and the stock would easily break in hand-to-hand combat! But this would have been easily fixed if the war would have ran just a little longer. And in case if some of you don't know the StG. 44 is the grandfather of the Ak-47. When the war began to come to a close, Soviet soldiers found this weapon and eventually made the Ak-47.

Hope to read your opinions soon!

Hit'em hard and hit'em fast till they hope you don't come back!
