Lobby Card for the movie Invasion USA (1952)

Invasion USA (1952) is an American black & White film about a Soviet Invasion of the United States. Soviet paratroopers jump into the nation's capitol, dressed as U.S. Army paratroopers and take over Washington DC as well as the rest of the country. An entirely wretched film, it's popularity has increased since being lampooned on "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" aka "MST3K".

The following guns were seen in this film:

M1 Garand

Used by both American troops and 'Fifth Column' Soviet commandos dressed as U.S. Soldiers

A variant of the Browning M1919 developed during World War 2, this model is designated the M37, with the ability to feed from either the left or the right of the weapon - 30-06. This example is shown without a tripod, only the pintle mount. This the MOST likely .30 cal machine gun to be seen firing from armored vehicles.
