i dont think the B.A.R. is used standard in the US military anymore... and they dont use the M1, they use the M14 now.....

and the thompson wasnt very accurate at long ranges.. but i guess if your clearing out bunkers, or ur in hedgerows, then its pretty accurate
no the bar is not standard military today, but you can still purchase browning automatic rifles all over the place.

the M14 is an updated version of the M1.

the thompson uses pistol rounds so anyone that thinks it would be accurate at long ranges is mistaken. the accuracy i was referring to was in full auto.
do you know much about firearms?
i knew the M14 is the .308 caliber version of the 30-06 M1 Garand, the stock was made smaller on it and it had full auto capabilities

but i actually didnt kno the Thompson used pistol ammo, i thought i was just a modified .45 caliber or something... so it took the same ammo as the M1911
the very same ammo.....well it had to be powerful enough to cycle the weapon, but yes you could unload a 1911 and load it into a thompson and fire it.
anytime you hear the term sub machine gun it is referring to a small rifle that fires pistol ammo.
examples would be-uzi, mp5, ump, p90 and the thompson among many others.

I love the Garand! I own one and fire it whenever I get the chance, the only other gun on the list I have fired is the Thompson <gun range rental>  it's a blast to shoot. but there is something sweet about shooting the Garand. and yes the clip popping out makes you grin every time!  well I do anyway.

Gotta go with the Browning Automatic Rifle. But then again I've always had a weakness for American portable machine guns. I've also got a soft spot for the Garand. Gotta give it up for the grand-daddy to the M-14.

Springfield because its what my grandfather used. Although it did jam on him and the germans almost starved him to death so maybe not...

I know, a patriotic choice. But read the article and tell me you wouldn't want one of those!

Found this little piece of text on a website

I have a Russian friend I buy night vision gear from. I told him about the Lahti and I teased him that it has pictures of 6 russian tanks and 5 trucks painted on the side. He wasn't impressed.

Little Boy for me.

Fat Man, yes, was stronger, but Little Boy was the first.
And it was dropped from a plane named with homosexual connotations.
