&lt;br /&gt;
''Band of Brothers'' is the 2001 HBO World War II miniseries produced by [[Tom Hanks]] and [[Steven Spielberg]].  Based on the best-selling book by the late historian Stephen Ambrose, the 10-part miniseries followed the men of &amp;quot;Easy&amp;quot; Company of the 101st Airborne Division from their basic training, through D-Day and up until the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest.  &lt;br /&gt;

==Handguns==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Colt M1911A1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[M1911A1]] was the standard sidearm of American Forces during WWII.  Issued to officers, NCOs and those in positions where a rifle or carbine was not desirable, the pistol quickly became a favored item among Allied troops because of its stopping power. The M1911A1 is seen in various episodes of ''Band of Brothers'', most notably in &amp;quot;Points&amp;quot;, where it was seen being used by Capt. Ronald Spiers ([[Matthew Settle]]) threatening both the doctor and the drunk American soldier who shot Chuck Grant. Capt. Herbert M. Sobel ([[David Schwimmer]]) can be seen running with one in &amp;quot;Currahee&amp;quot;. Joe Leibgott ([[Ross McCall]]) shoots a German officer in &amp;quot;Points&amp;quot; with a M1911. David Webster ([[Eion Bailey]]) threatens a baker with one in &amp;quot;Why We Fight.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;

=== M1A1 Carbine ===&lt;br /&gt;

=== Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Browning M2|Browning M2HB]] heavy machine gun can be seen throughout the series. The weapon is usually mounted on either M4 Sherman tanks (as seen in &amp;quot;Carentan&amp;quot;) or on the M8 Greyhound Armored Car as in &amp;quot;Why We Fight&amp;quot;.  Also making a prominent appearance, especially in &amp;quot;The Last Patrol&amp;quot; is the ''[[M51 Quad Mount]]'' which, though designed primarily for anti-aircraft use, had a devastating effect on ground targets and was available in either the towed or vehicle mounted versions (designated the ''[[M16 Quad Mount]]'').&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===M1 Rocket Launcher &amp;quot;Bazooka&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
The M91 Bazooka was the standard anti-tank rocket for the US military during WWII, excellent against bunkers and buildings though its effectiveness against the more heavily armored German tanks is debatable. General Eisenhower remarked that the atom bomb, jeep, C-47 Sky Train and the Bazooka were the four weapons that won the war. The bazooka was copied by the Germans as the &amp;quot;Panzerschreck&amp;quot; launcher from a M1 Bazooka captured in North Africa. Generally operated by a two man crew (one gunner, one loader) crews quickly figured out that they needed to hit the side, rear or belly armor of armored vehicles, as shown in the episode &amp;quot;Carentan&amp;quot; (the episode also shows how the bazooka rounds would simply deflect off the heavy frontal armor). The bazooka makes notable appearances in the series being used by Charles E. &amp;quot;Chuck&amp;quot; Grant ([[Nolan Hemmings]]) in the episode &amp;quot;Replacements&amp;quot; taking out a German machine gun and by John McGrath ([[Stephen Walters]]) and Harry Welsh ([[Rick Warden]]) in the episode &amp;quot;Carentan&amp;quot; disabling a German StuG III assault gun.&lt;br /&gt;

Several soldiers are seen with [[M7 rifle grenade#M7 grenade launcher|M7 grenade launcher]]s mounted on their [[M1 Garand]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

One thing to note is that the way he fires the weapon would have made him very sore. Rifle grenades use blanks that are compressed powder loads so firing like that would hurt, the military at that time taught soldiers to plant the butt of the rifle in the ground and use a special ladder sight attached to the front of the barrel to sight with. Also, you never actually see him load a blank round so we must assume he was wandering around in enemy territory with a blank chambered.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mk II Hand Grenade ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Mk II Hand Grenade]] is used by several paratroopers in the series.  Lt. Harry Welsh ([[Rick Warden]]) is seen using one to take out an MG42 team during the battle of Carentan.  Paratroopers are seen piling [[Mk II Hand Grenade]]s onto a enemy-made rockslide in an attempt to blow a hole in the roadblock.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Handguns==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Luger P08 ===&lt;br /&gt;
A Standard side arm of German Forces during WWI. The [[Luger P08]] was a prized and coveted souvenir because of its elegant design.  Malarkey is seen hunting around for one in &amp;quot;Day of Days&amp;quot;.   Corporal Hoobler ([[Peter McCabe]]) kills a German Officer who has one, and then, later in the episode, it discharges in his pocket, which makes a fatal wound by hitting his femoral artery. It is later given to Sergeant Malarkey ([[Scott Grimes]]), who wanted one to bring home to his little brother. The real gun Hoobler found is a Belgian .32 and was not given to Malarkey. The Walther P38 was the standard issue during WWII, with many Lugers left over from WWI being re-used by some Germans as a sidearm.  Though replaced officially by the P38, Mauser would continue producing the Luger until 1943; Evidence can be found on many Lugers with 30's and 40's markings as well as swastikas and eagles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Walther PP===&lt;br /&gt;
In the documentary &amp;quot;We Stand Alone Together&amp;quot;, the real Maj. Winters displays the Walther PP series pistol he received from a surrendering German officer. Winters discovered the gun had never been fired once, and to this day it remains in his possession, still unused. *This is actually untrue since all Walther pistols like the PP and P38 were test fired at the factory for quality control reasons.*&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Walther_PP.jpg‎|thumb|350px|none|The lesser-known, full-length barreled Walther PP is available in 6.35mm auto (.25 ACP), 7.65x17mm (.32 ACP) Auto or 9x17mm (.380 ACP).]]&lt;br /&gt;

A main battle rifle for the German forces is the [[Karabiner 98k]].  In addition to the German forces, Lt. Winters is seen using it in &amp;quot;Day of Days&amp;quot;. A german sniper is also seen using a scoped Kar98k in the episode 'The Breaking Point'.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Assault Rifles==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sturmgewehr 44 ===&lt;br /&gt;
During the siege of Bastogne, German forces are seen using the [[Sturmgewehr 44]]. A StG 44 is also seen (Anachronistically) on a German-weapon familiarization wall early on in the series.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== MG42 ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the mini-series, the [[MG42]] is seen multiple times, being fired from window openings in towns, and in stand-offs with the German armoured vehicles in the advance into France. Most notably, the mini-series did not fail to demonstrate or imply the demoralizing effect of the gun on U.S. troops, and this is a notable achievement for the film-makers, who added this realistic view, which before, had never been seen in such vivid detail in any previous war-film, barring of course, documentaries with actual war-time footage.&lt;br /&gt;

''The Pacific'' is the 2010 WWII HBO miniseries produced by [[Tom Hanks]] and [[Steven Spielberg]], who previously produced the acclaimed ''[[Band of Brothers]]''.   This miniseries focuses on the experiences of US Marines fighting in the Pacific Theater of World War II and is primarily based on the memoirs of Robert Leckie and Eugene Sledge.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==M1903A3 Springfield==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[M1903 Springfield#1903A3 Springfield Rifle|M1903A3 Springfield]] rifle is the general issue weapon for the Marines who land and fight on Guadalcanal in Part 1 and Part 2, as all the new M1 rifles were sent to the US Army. The Marines seen using the Springfield include PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley ([[Keith Nobbs]]), Sgt. J.P. Morgan ([[Joshua Biton]]) and Lew 'Chuckler' Juergens ([[Josh Helman]]). After being replaced with the M1, it was still used by snipers. One of them can be seen used by a Marine in Part 6 during the attack on Peleliu airfield. &lt;br /&gt;

==M1 Garand==&lt;br /&gt;
The M1 is first seen in Guadalcanal, when Sid Phillips ([[Ashton Holmes]]) finds, to his disgust, a crate of newly arrived M1 Garands for the army. Whilst stationed in Melbourne, the Marines replace the M1903 with the [[M1 Garand]], which remains the main battle rifle throughout the series. During Part 3, riding in a train through the Victorian country, several Marines compare the M1 to the M1903. In combat, amongst those who use it are Bill &amp;quot;Hoosier&amp;quot; Smith ([[Jacob Pitts]]), Bill Leyden ([[Brendan Fletcher]]) and Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]).&lt;br /&gt;

==M1903A3 Springfield==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[M1903 Springfield#1903A3 Springfield Rifle|M1903A3 Springfield]] rifle is the general issue weapon for the Marines who land and fight on Guadalcanal in Part 1 and Part 2, as all the new M1 rifles were sent to the US Army. The Marines seen using the Springfield include PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley ([[Keith Nobbs]]), Sgt. J.P. Morgan ([[Joshua Biton]]) and Lew 'Chuckler' Juergens ([[Josh Helman]]). After being replaced with the M1, it was still used by snipers. One of them can be seen used by a Marine in Part 6 during the attack on Peleliu airfield. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==M1 Garand==&lt;br /&gt;
The M1 is first seen in Guadalcanal, when Sid Phillips ([[Ashton Holmes]]) finds, to his disgust, a crate of newly arrived M1 Garands for the army. Whilst stationed in Melbourne, the Marines replace the M1903 with the [[M1 Garand]], which remains the main battle rifle throughout the series. During Part 3, riding in a train through the Victorian country, several Marines compare the M1 to the M1903. In combat, amongst those who use it are Bill &amp;quot;Hoosier&amp;quot; Smith ([[Jacob Pitts]]), Bill Leyden ([[Brendan Fletcher]]) and Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]).&lt;br /&gt;

Several Marines who fight on Guadalcanal in Part 1 are seen with the [[Thompson Submachine Gun#M1A1 Thompson|M1928A1 Thompson]]. Lt. Hugh Corrigan ([[Henry Nixon]]) had a 50 round drum on his for most of Part 1 until the end, replacing it with a 30 round &amp;quot;stick&amp;quot; magazine.&lt;br /&gt;

In Part 5, Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]) receives a [[Colt New Service]] .45 Colt revolver in the care package sent from his family and in Part 9, uses the revolver on a wounded Japanese soldier on the island of Okinawa. In episode 5 Sidney Phillips tells Eugene that &amp;quot;It will stop a jap faster than a clip from your carbine&amp;quot; which is in fact true considering the stopping power of a .45 round compared to a .30 carbine used by the M1 carbine.  &lt;br /&gt;

==M1903A3 Springfield==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[M1903 Springfield#1903A3 Springfield Rifle|M1903A3 Springfield]] rifle is the general issue weapon for the Marines who land and fight on Guadalcanal in Part 1 and Part 2, as all the new M1 rifles were sent to the US Army. The Marines seen using the Springfield include PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley ([[Keith Nobbs]]), Sgt. J.P. Morgan ([[Joshua Biton]]) and Lew 'Chuckler' Juergens ([[Josh Helman]]). After being replaced with the M1, it was still used by snipers. One of them can be seen used by a Marine in Part 6 during the attack on Peleliu airfield. &lt;br /&gt;

During Part 3, riding in a train through the Victorian country, several Marines compare the M1 to the M1903. In combat, amongst those who use it are Bill &amp;quot;Hoosier&amp;quot; Smith ([[Jacob Pitts]]), Bill Leyden ([[Brendan Fletcher]]) and Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]).&lt;br /&gt;

==M1903A3 Springfield==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[M1903 Springfield#1903A3 Springfield Rifle|M1903A3 Springfield]] rifle is the general issue weapon for the Marines who land and fight on Guadalcanal in Part 1 and Part 2, as all the new M1 rifles were sent to the US Army. The Marines seen using the Springfield include PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley ([[Keith Nobbs]]), Sgt. J.P. Morgan ([[Joshua Biton]]) and Lew 'Chuckler' Juergens ([[Josh Helman]]). After being replaced with the M1, it was still used by snipers. One of them can be seen used by a Marine in Part 6 during the attack on Peleliu airfield. &lt;br /&gt;

During Part 3, riding in a train through the Victorian country, several Marines compare the M1 to the M1903. In combat, amongst those who use it are Bill &amp;quot;Hoosier&amp;quot; Smith ([[Jacob Pitts]]), Bill Leyden ([[Brendan Fletcher]]) and Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]).&lt;br /&gt;

==M1903A3 Springfield==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[M1903 Springfield#1903A3 Springfield Rifle|M1903A3 Springfield]] rifle is the general issue weapon for the Marines who land and fight on Guadalcanal in Part 1 and Part 2, as all the new M1 rifles were sent to the US Army. The Marines seen using the Springfield include PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley ([[Keith Nobbs]]), Sgt. J.P. Morgan ([[Joshua Biton]]) and Lew 'Chuckler' Juergens ([[Josh Helman]]). After being replaced with the M1, it was still used by snipers. One of them can be seen used by a Marine in Part 6 during the attack on Peleliu airfield. &lt;br /&gt;

During Part 3, riding in a train through the Victorian country, several Marines compare the M1 to the M1903. In combat, amongst those who use it are Bill &amp;quot;Hoosier&amp;quot; Smith ([[Jacob Pitts]]), Bill Leyden ([[Brendan Fletcher]]) and Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]).&lt;br /&gt;

==M1903A3 Springfield==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[M1903 Springfield#1903A3 Springfield Rifle|M1903A3 Springfield]] rifle is the general issue weapon for the Marines who land and fight on Guadalcanal in Part 1 and Part 2, as all the new M1 rifles were sent to the US Army. The Marines seen using the Springfield include PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley ([[Keith Nobbs]]), Sgt. J.P. Morgan ([[Joshua Biton]]) and Lew 'Chuckler' Juergens ([[Josh Helman]]). After being replaced with the M1, it was still used by snipers. One of them can be seen used by a Marine in Part 6 during the attack on Peleliu airfield. &lt;br /&gt;

During Part 3, riding in a train through the Victorian country, several Marines compare the M1 to the M1903. In combat, amongst those who use it are Bill &amp;quot;Hoosier&amp;quot; Smith ([[Jacob Pitts]]), Bill Leyden ([[Brendan Fletcher]]) and Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]).&lt;br /&gt;

==M1903A3 Springfield==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[M1903 Springfield#1903A3 Springfield Rifle|M1903A3 Springfield]] rifle is the general issue weapon for the Marines who land and fight on Guadalcanal in Part 1 and Part 2, as all the new M1 rifles were sent to the US Army. The Marines seen using the Springfield include PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley ([[Keith Nobbs]]), Sgt. J.P. Morgan ([[Joshua Biton]]) and Lew 'Chuckler' Juergens ([[Josh Helman]]). After being replaced with the M1, it was still used by snipers. One of them can be seen used by a Marine in Part 6 during the attack on Peleliu airfield. &lt;br /&gt;

During Part 3, riding in a train through the Victorian country, several Marines compare the M1 to the M1903. In combat, amongst those who use it are Bill &amp;quot;Hoosier&amp;quot; Smith ([[Jacob Pitts]]), Bill Leyden ([[Brendan Fletcher]]) and Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]).&lt;br /&gt;

==M1 Garand==&lt;br /&gt;
The M1 is first seen in Guadalcanal, when Sid Phillips ([[Ashton Holmes]]) finds, to his disgust, a crate of newly arrived M1 Garands for the army. Whilst stationed in Melbourne, the Marines replace the M1903 with the [[M1 Garand]], which remains the main battle rifle throughout the series. During Part 3, riding in a train through the Victorian country, several Marines compare the M1 to the M1903. In combat, amongst those who use it are Bill &amp;quot;Hoosier&amp;quot; Smith ([[Jacob Pitts]]), Bill Leyden ([[Brendan Fletcher]]) and Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]).&lt;br /&gt;

==M1903A3 Springfield==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[M1903 Springfield#1903A3 Springfield Rifle|M1903A3 Springfield]] rifle is the general issue weapon for the Marines who land and fight on Guadalcanal in Part 1 and Part 2, as all the new M1 rifles were sent to the US Army. The Marines seen using the Springfield include PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley ([[Keith Nobbs]]), Sgt. J.P. Morgan ([[Joshua Biton]]) and Lew 'Chuckler' Juergens ([[Josh Helman]]). After being replaced with the M1, it was still used by snipers. One of them can be seen used by a Marine in Part 6 during the attack on Peleliu airfield. &lt;br /&gt;

The M1 is first seen in Guadalcanal, when Sid Phillips ([[Ashton Holmes]]) finds, to his disgust, a crate of newly arrived M1 Garands for the army. Whilst stationed in Melbourne, the Marines replace the M1903 with the [[M1 Garand]], which remains the main battle rifle throughout the series. During Part 3, riding in a train through the Victorian country, several Marines compare the M1 to the M1903. In combat, amongst those who use it are Bill &amp;quot;Hoosier&amp;quot; Smith ([[Jacob Pitts]]), Bill Leyden ([[Brendan Fletcher]]) and Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]).&lt;br /&gt;

==M1903A3 Springfield==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[M1903 Springfield#1903A3 Springfield Rifle|M1903A3 Springfield]] rifle is the general issue weapon for the Marines who land and fight on Guadalcanal in Part 1 and Part 2, as all the new M1 rifles were sent to the US Army. The Marines seen using the Springfield include PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley ([[Keith Nobbs]]), Sgt. J.P. Morgan ([[Joshua Biton]]) and Lew 'Chuckler' Juergens ([[Josh Helman]]). After being replaced with the M1, it was still used by snipers. One of them can be seen used by a Marine in Part 6 during the attack on Peleliu airfield. &lt;br /&gt;

During Part 3, riding in a train through the Victorian country, several Marines compare the M1 to the M1903. In combat, amongst those who use it are Bill &amp;quot;Hoosier&amp;quot; Smith ([[Jacob Pitts]]), Bill Leyden ([[Brendan Fletcher]]) and Eugene Sledge ([[Joseph Mazzello]]).&lt;br /&gt;
