Best firearm of World War 2?
I personally think that the best firearm of World War Two is the M1 garand. It is a highly accurate and reliable weapon with tons of stopping power. It was placed into the hands of thousands of American troops as a replacement to single-shot bolt action rifles. Its 8 round semi-automatic capability made it a highly revered and respected rifle. It was the perfect alternative to the plentiful German Kars and the few Gewehrs that they had. The only shortcoming of the rifle was its unreloadable cartridge. The weapon could only be reloaded if all 8 rounds were fired. When the clip was discharged it would make an unmistakeable 'pink' sound that triggered many enemies to attack. This could also be used to draw enemies into a small scale ambush. Overall I think the M1 garand was the best firearm of World War Two although many other guns including the Thompson, Browning .30 and .50 calibre machine guns, Browing Auto. Rifle, Grease Gun (M1A3), carbine, and the Colt .45 automatic.
I believe the best weapon of WW2 was a well-trained American infantryman. It doesn't matter how sophisticated the weapon, it is useless unless in the hands of a well-trained individual. America's importance on proper training won the war, not just the weaponry.
