M1903 Springfield

The M1903 Springfield are used by several U.S. military personal and most are seen when the Iron Giant attacks the Army. These are highly anachronistic however, since the film is set in the 1950's and the M1903 had been completely phased out by this point except in a sniper capacity, which these weapons clearly are not.
