The End of the Line

This infantryman holds an SG44 assault rifle.  Perhaps the most advanced rifle of World War Two.  It made no difference in the outcome of the war.

This American infantryman carries the M1 rifle, the greatest battle implement ever made, over a million of them were produced after World War Two and the US Army still issued them to some units as late as the 1970's.

The BAR was a World War One design that was carried by US troops through the 1950's.

Shown here with the bipod, it was often removed to reduce weight and because some troops used it simply as a big rifle.

The M24 Chaffee tank was developed into an armored personnel carrier, and several self-propelled artillery pieces.
