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.
Just watching a YouTube video of the event makes me happy. Forget kittens, gimme a Garand: The smile would NEVER leave my face!


...until I had to buy more ammo.

Type 96 LMG


The thing is sooooo weird looking!
You should just go with a Bren. It looks almost the same and was probably superior.

OT: I would say the BAR. That would've made a great assault rifle if only they thought to decrease it's size.

Oh God, this happening again. Some people who've played Medal of Honor and now think they know stuff about WWII and its weapons. Not that I'm super-educated or anything, but please don't pretend if your knowledge is limited to games and movies. Something looking cool makes it appear cool at first, but... oh fine if you like it because of its visual appearance then fine :<

I guess the FlaK 88 was pretty impressive, because of how it was originally designed for AA purposes and how it killed tanks when other weapons during that time did not.

Mosin-Nagant most def, mostly because I have something that looks suspiciously like it... Might even be one but I'm not well versed in guns so there ya go.

Prolly the K98 (Germanys overall prove of good Technic)

And the PPSh-41 as a kind of Symbol how we got our butts kicked and for the esthetics of Russian stile guncrafting.

Seriously? Nobody said the MP-43/Sturmgewehr-44 yet?

Not the most widely used firearm in WW2, but definitely the best automatic rifle. Oh wait, my mistake: the only one.

StG44 was awesome.

But personally I'm going to go with the Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.1 namely because I own one.

Discussion value?

OT: Thompson. Totally. You know that picture where Churchill is holding one? That's from the initial testing for WWII, where a load of the SMGs were taken to Northern England to hunt Blood Wolves.
wtf is a Blood Wolf?

OT: 3 way tie between Mosin Nagant, 1911 colt 45, and a thompson.

Mine would be the Breda M1930
The most awkward, back-assed weapon ever, but you've gotta love it's trolltier status.

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.

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.

Some german single-handedly killed hundreds of American troops using this weapon on D-Day.
He would've had a bloody hard time if he was only aiming for Americans.
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.
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.
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.
