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. I believe these are M1 Garands with Grenade Launchers that the soldier has hard to say since the illustrating is bad on this movie. But in 1950's it would be M1 Garands. -Phoenixent

Actually,they are not garands. These rifles are not semi automatic and they fire and load a round in it. 76.205.250.214
