I've watched the first episode, and the first Marines on Guadalcanal are armed with M1928A1 Thompsons (compensators, drum mags, horizontal foregrips) and M1903s. What stuck out what the high number of left handed M1903s out there. I don't know if this is because the Marines really went out of their way to issue left handed Marines left handed guns, or if the armorers for the Pacific are really accomodating. I think it's interesting that a left handed sniper in Saving Private Ryan, who's already issued a specialized piece of equipment, couldn't get a left handed Springfield but Marine grunts in The Pacific can. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 05:52, 15 March 2010 (UTC) | I've watched the first episode, and the first Marines on Guadalcanal are armed with M1928A1 Thompsons (compensators, drum mags, horizontal foregrips) and M1903s.

:I also noticed the old Browning .30 cal with the barrel shroud for water cooling, wouldn't they be up to air cooled 1919s by then? but overall, the first episode was great, and I look forward to watching the rest of the series, Semper Fi! [[User:M14fanboy|M14fanboy]] | |||

Is this out yet?
If this series is out, i'm going to screencap it when it comes out on DVD.-Oliveira 19:53, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

- Holy fuck, where is it? I'm a big history geek, i need to see this.-Oliveira 23:19, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- I love history! When was it released?-S&Wshooter 23:20, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- I have to agree that it is the M50 Reising. The magazine and the muzzle break and dead giveaways. Charon68 13:53, 1 July 2009(UTC)
- Also, i think there is M1903s in the series. When the australian trailer was released there was a production picture of the Marines landing on Guadalcanal and they were acurately deppicted armed with M1903s.-Oliveira 19:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- Is there a picture of the M1903 Springfield or the trailer with the rifle shown? - Kenny99 02:27, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

The first episode
I've watched the first episode, and the first Marines on Guadalcanal are armed with M1928A1 Thompsons (compensators, drum mags, horizontal foregrips) and M1903s. What stuck out what the high number of left handed M1903s out there. I don't know if this is because the Marines really went out of their way to issue left handed Marines left handed guns, or if the armorers for the Pacific are really accomodating. I think it's interesting that a left handed sniper in Saving Private Ryan, who's already issued a specialized piece of equipment, couldn't get a left handed Springfield but Marine grunts in The Pacific can. --Funkychinaman 05:52, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- I also noticed the old Browning .30 cal with the barrel shroud for water cooling, wouldn't they be up to air cooled 1919s by then? but overall, the first episode was great, and I look forward to watching the rest of the series, Semper Fi! M14fanboy
