== Colt M1911A1 ==<br />
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 "Points", 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 "Currahee". Joe Leibgott ([[Ross McCall]]) shoots a German officer in "Points" with a M1911. David Webster ([[Eion Bailey]]) threatens a baker with one in "Why We Fight." <br />

<br />
== M1A1 Thompson ==<br />
Also known as the "Tommy gun" the [[Thompson Submachine Gun#M1A1 Thompson|M1A1 Thompson]] was the standard issue Sub Machine Gun for US Forces in WWII. As such, many of Easy Company's officers and NCOs are shown carrying the Thompson as their standard weapon. Notable figures include Ronald Speirs ([[Matthew Settle]]), Harry Welsh ([[Rick Warden]]), Lynn "Buck" Compton ([[Neal McDonough]]), William "Wild Bill" Guarnere ([[Frank John Hughes]]), and Johnny Martin ([[Dexter Fletcher]]).<br />
[[Image:M1sb.jpg|thumb|325px|none|[[M1 Thompson]] .45 Caliber ACP]]<br />
''What is interesting is that, if you look at a pic of Speirs in the book "Band of Brothers", he seems to be holding an M1928A1 Thompson.''<br />
''If you look very closely, in "Currahee" in England were Winters squad is behind the bushes (right before the Brit on the bike shows up) when Lipton talks to Winters if you look at his ejection port ( where the empty shells come out you can see the hop-up from an airsoft gun so it is clearly an airsoft Tokyo Marui M1A1 Thompson.<br />

<br />
== M3A1 "Grease Gun" ==<br />
The [[M3A1 "Grease Gun"]] was the cheap, inexpensive replacement for the Thompson Sub Machine Gun; It is only shown in the hands of Roy Cobb ([[Craig Heaney]]) and Sgt. Lipton ([[Donnie Wahlberg]]).<br />

<br />
== M1 Carbine ==<br />
The [[M1 Carbine]] is carried by 2nd Lt. Henry Jones ([[Colin Hanks]]) in the episode "The Last Patrol". It is also seen carried by several US soldiers fighting in Okinawa in newsreel footage.<br />
[[Image:M1-Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|450px|World War Two Era [[M1 Carbine|M1 Carbine]], with Dark Walnut Stock, 'L' peep sight and no bayonet lug - correct for most of WWII, shown with khaki sling and oiler and a period Magazine pouch for buttstock]]<br />

<br />
== M1A1 Carbine ==<br />
Originally issued to non-combat personnel or those who needed a compact weapon, the M1 Carbine was never meant to be a front-line weapon, never the less it was ideal for Airborne troops for its small frame and its compactness. The paratrooper version of the M1 has the distinct collapsable buttstock and handgrip. The [[M1 Carbine#M1A1 Carbine|M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine]] is shown extensively throughout the series most notably in the hands of Donald Malarkey ([[Scott Grimes]]), Carwood Lipton ([[Donnie Wahlberg]]), Warren "Skip" Muck ([[Richard Speight, Jr.]]), Lt. Norman Dike, George Luz ([[Rick Gomez]]), and Capt. Lewis Nixon ([[Ron Livingston]]).<br />

[[Image:Springfield03A3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|The '''World War 2 Springfield Rifle''' - the Model 03-A3. This was a simplified version of the 1903 to supplement the [[M1 Garand]] for troops in World War 2. Many Marines and Army rangers hit the battlefield with the 03-A3. This example was built at the Remington plant. During World War 2 - only Remington and Smith Corona (the typewriter company) built 03A3 rifles from the original WW1 tooling from Rock Island - .30-06]]<br />

<br />
== M1 Garand ==<br />
Standard issue rifle of the US military during WWII, many of Easy Company's paratroopers are shown carrying the M1 as their standard weapon. Most notable are Major Richard "Dick" Winters ([[Damian Lewis]]), Shifty Powers ([[Peter Youngblood Hills]]) and Joseph Liebgott ([[Ross McCall]]). The Garand can be seen with and without a bayonet.<br />

[[Image:Bob8m1gm7.jpg|none|thumb|600px|Johnny Martin ([[Dexter Fletcher]]) prepares to launch a rifle grenade in the episode "The Last Patrol".]]<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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<br />
<br />
== M1 Rocket Launcher "Bazooka" ==<br />
The M91 Bazooka was the standard Anti-Tank rocket for the US military during WW2, 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 "Panzerschreck" 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 armour of armored vehicles, as shown in the episode "Carentan" (The episode also shows how the Bazooka rounds would simply deflect off the heavy frontal armour). The Bazooka makes notable appearances in the series being used by Charles E. "Chuck" Grant ([[Nolan Hemmings]]) in the episode "Replacements" taking out a German Machine Gun and by Harry Welsh ([[Rick Warden]]) in the episode "Carentan" disabling a German StuG IV assault gun. <br />

<br />
== Browning Automatic Rifle ==<br />
The [[Browning Automatic Rifle|B.A.R.]] was the standard Squad Automatic Weapon for US rifle squads in WW2, It is shown twice in the series being used by an unknown Easy Company soldier in the episodes "Cross Roads" and "The Breaking Point". <br />

<br />
== Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun ==<br />
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 "Carentan") or on the M8 Greyhound Armoured Car as in "Why We Fight". Also making a prominent appearance, especially in "The Last Patrol" 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]]'').<br />

<br />
== Luger P08 ==<br />
A Standard side arm of German Forces during WWII. It was a prized and coveted souvenir because of its elegant design. Corporal Hoobler ([[Peter McCabe]]) kills a German Officer who has one, and then, later in the episode, it discharges in his pocket. It cuts his femoral artery and kills him. 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 Belgain .32 and was not given to Malarkey. The Walther P38 was the standard issue during WWII, the Luger was just left over from WWI and was still used by some Germans as a sidearm.<br />

== MG42 ==<br />
Adopted by Germany in 1942, in an effort to reduce the machining time and cost inherent in the production of the MG-34, the [[MG42]] is perhaps the deadliest machine gun used during the war. With a fire rate of 1200 rounds per minute, individual shots are mostly non-discernable. The demoralizing and pschycological effect of its very sound prompted the U.S. to make a training film for troops who would encounter it.<br />
Unlike the MG-34, the MG-42 has a receiver made from a series of stampings, instead of the finely machined components encountered in the MG-34. <br />
The gun is fed from a 50-round belt just as with the MG-34. These belts can be linked together for upwards of 250 continuous rounds from one can, with any number of cans in tow given the situation or position. <br />
The gun is chambered in the 7.92X57 Mauser cartridge, the same cartridge used in the well known K98k infantry rifles, and ammunition is interchangeable, although machinegun ammunition was often slightly more powerful in order to avoid jams and run the guns mechanism more reliably.<br />
It can be used with a fold-up bipod, or with the more complicated Lafette tripod, which could have scope-optics and remote control firing capabilities.<br />
Its downfalls were its high rate of fire, which exhausted ammunition supplies very quickly, and this was very apparent on the Russian front, where the weather often delayed much needed supplies.<br />
Its most effective use (as with most machine guns) was not in sweeping fire, but in concentrated direct fire using the shortest burst possible, and directing these bursts over the intended area.<br />
The MG-42 was often seen mounted on an anti-aircraft tripod for use against low altitude aircraft.<br />
In the mini-series, the MG-42 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.<br />
