World War II Weaponry

By: Ciaran McElhennon

M1 Thompson

Possibly the most notorious gun in history because of WWII and the Sicilian Mafia

Mauser Karabiner Kar-98k

A German gun often used by Americans during the war.

M1 Garand

A high powered American rifle commonly used with a scope for long range warfare.

Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR)

The browning is a weapon inspired by WWI to have a full auto, man held gun. This, however,

didn't work because of its weight, but it did become an amazing support weapon.

PPSh-41

High powered sub machine gun used by the soviets that has been said to rival the M1

Thompson.

Arisaka Type 99 Rifle

The Arisaka rifle is a bolt-action rifle mainly used by the Japanese during ambushes. They usually

had a bayonet on the front.
