The M1 carbine, originally made by "Carbine" Williams, a prisoner and former Winchester Repeating Arms Co. worker. It was put into action because of the demand for a light weapon to be given to soldiers whose duty prevented them from the use of a M1 Garand, but who needed stronger and more accurate protection than the Colt 1911-A1. It was chambered in the 30-caliber carbine round, a pistol round effective up to 300 yards, and proved to be greatly effective in close in fighting: Its weight, unloaded was around 5.5 pounds. The paratrooper model, the M1A1 had a folding wire stock to reduce size.

The BAR's only serious drawbacks were its lack of a quick-change barrel (to reduce the chance of overheating), and its weight (BAR, with bipod and a loaded bandoleer, came to about 40 pounds).

M2 Fragmentation grenades are very effective anti-personnel devices. The highly explosive charges reduce their metal casing to flying fragments, causing considerable blast damage. Through they're ineffective against armored vehicles, they are extremely useful for clearing out entrenched infantry positions. As the grenade is thrown, the handle flies off and the fuse burns down. After the fuse burned down, it would ignite the TNT packed in the grenade and blast away the segmented outer casing, striking and probably killing anyone near.
