The following weapons were used in the film Everyman's War:
Despite being the standard-issue combat rifle for the U.S. Armed Forces during World War Two, the M1 Garand is seen scarcely throughout the movie. This is historically accurate, for weapons squads such as the one depicted in the film would normally be issued lighter weapons such as the M1 Carbine. The most notable user is Pvt. Karl Heinrich (Brian Julian), the section ammunition carrier.
