[Psycho Cat Industries]

Either the thompson for awesomeness,the m1 garand for awesomeness,or the bren gun for star wars clone trooper conversion awesomeness.

Dead tie between the Tommy Gun

...and the Browning Automatic Rifle or BAR

These weapons were a big part of the arsenal of overwhelming firepower that helped the U.S. carry on the fight in two different theaters and come out on top.

No, that was the overwhelming numbers compaired to the Axis. As far as i'm aware, as far as guns go, they were both impractical and unreliable.

 

[Dango]

Is and always will be the Grease Gun. It just looks plain awesome.

 

[s0m3th1ng]

Any 'one-shot' calibre weapon.

- Mosin-Nagant
- M1 Garand
- The German version [ Forgot name ]

It's satisfying to reload after each shot again and again, love those weapons!

Uh...the M1 is a semi-automatic weapon. Maybe you're thinking of the springfield M1903?

I pick the 1911, still one of the best handgun designs ever.

That or the semi-automatic L39 Anti-Tank rifle, the first "Elephant gun". Fired a 20mm projectile and was used to lay waste to soviet armor, bunkers, and low flying aircraft by the Fins. Weighed over a hundred pounds.

What, no lovers of the PPSh-41 yet?

Ninja'd blast. Well done.

Uh, I guess the BAR is my second choice but that's been posted too.

 

[Aiden_the-Joker1]

My favourite would have to be a bayoneted Ariska rifle.

 

[Spoonius]

The Owen gun.

Aussie ingenuity at its finest.

Also:

 

[darkknight9]

FG-42 Paratrooper rifle. Compact size, full length 8mm cartridge, secondary support weapon.

[theSovietConnection]

The Mosin-Nagant sniper variant.

I have one waiting for me, just need my PAL and she'll be coming home finally.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Spoiler: FG 42

I love that gun. You could equip it with a scope making it an automatic rifle that is good for sniping and for mowing down troops... Fantastic

NINJA SNIP

Spoiler: You know you're a Ninja, right?

Spoiler: Outside of small arms, I love the main 14 inch cannons of the British battleships.

schwerer gustav probly

well you did say gun not fire-arm

 

[teh_Canape]

FP-45 Liberator

a single shot pistol that just looks badass

and, of course, Mosin Nagant, that shit is just classy as fuck and effective

 

[godofallu]

I'll be the dirty bastard American and say the M1 Garand. Boom-boom-TING! =D

I really want to get my hands on one... On the plus side, if my friend ever gets DOWN here, we're going to rent the Thompson at the local range. =D

M1 Garand indeed. Boom-boom-ting indeed. Just retyping your words made me smile.

 

[darkman80723]

Dead tie between Mosin-Nagant and the M1 Garand. I own both and both are excellent weapons.

Own? Sweet.

 

[Littlee300]

Some german single-handedly killed hundreds of American troops using this weapon on D-Day.

They must not of been using video game logic, everyone knows you should jump behind and a boat and sharp shoot from there

Dead tie between Mosin-Nagant and the M1 Garand. I own both and both are excellent weapons.

Own? Sweet.

Yeah, the M1 was my grandfather's from the war. He taught me how to shoot on that weapon and when he passed bequeathed it to me along with his officer's Colt .45. And the Mosin I got at a gunshow in Texas for about $150.

 

[martin's a madman]

I don't have much first hand experience of any weapons from WW2, and by that I mean, no experience at all.

All I know is from video games the guns were featured in, and reading the technical qualities of them.

That being said, seems the Germans had by far the best weapons.

MP 40, 44 (AK 47 precursor), various Machine Guns, etc.
