Your favorite WWII gun

it's a toss up between the 1911 pistol and the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle, for you philistines).
Either the British Sten or the Russian PPsh-41 will be good as main arms. I've killed enough people with the Tommy Gun and the MP40 already, and the M3 Grease Gun has never really been a favorite of mine (style preferences - it looks too much like a Machine Pistol to me, and doesn't seem to have much of a stock, which is something I would be interested in having). I will also be accepting a Colt M1911 as my sidearm, since I can't think of any shotguns that were used in WWII.
True, that is how the beaches were designated, but My grandad (who is british) was on Utah. He told me the organisation wes such a mess in the attack that platoons would get spit up. He was along side an American man who threw up on him, some Indians directly in front of him, and the driver of the landing craft was Australian. Some parties stayed well organised and ended up on te same crafts, but he said most of his, and many other soldiers' parties ended up split up, and amoungst people they'd never met.bl4ckh4wk64 said:Different countries had different beaches. The Brits and Canadians didn't have such massacres as Omaha beach, but different nationalities weren't really that mixed. The Brits had Gold, and Sword. The Canadians had Juno. And The Americans had Utah and Omaha. Omaha was probably the hardest one that was taken and it produced the most casualties of any of the D-day Landings. Each nationality had their own beach to take, so you wouldn't expect a Canadian at any beach other than Juno, and you didn't see a Brit at any beach other than Gold or Sword.THEJORRRG said:I've fired an M1 Garand and it is unmatched in how it feels to fire. It's my fav rifle. The only other WWII era guns I've fired was the Owen gun (mentioned above, suprisingly) which is completely un-aimable and the BAR which broke about 5 times in the half hour i used it.
He would've had a bloody hard time if he was only aiming for Americans.Ldude893 said:
Some german single-handedly killed hundreds of American troops using this weapon on D-Day.
A German bomb got a hit right next to his craft, capsizing it. Everyone (as far as he could tell) were gone except him and the American, who managed to drag my grandad to shore and defended him until they could get out. Whoever that American soldier was died, but he saved my grandad's life. Without whoever he was, I wouldn't be here today.
MG-42.
Revolutionise warfare much?
Or if your talking bigger stuff, the Flak 88 for sure.
I mean it can kill tanks.
It can kill aircraft.
It can be used as artillery.
I want it for christmas.

The guns of the era, naturally....smearyllama said:
The G43 is a thing of beauty. It's brilliantly engineered for its time, highly reliable, accurate and easy to operate. German soldier praised it for its functionality, and it looks excellent.
Hard to look away from the StG44, such a revolutionary gun, it became the template for the modern Assault Rifle.
MG42 is a sweet sweet thing, I adore it and it's my favorite MG without a seconds doubt.
But the PPSH... Damn it, the PPSH is the winner in my mind. Awesome thing.
