We have had one variant or another as the standard issue rifle for over ****50**** years. The M1 Garand would be a close second in my opinion.<br /><br />*Edited to soothe Mad Dog Webster's ruffled feathersResponse by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 3 at 2016 1:01 PM2016-12-03T13:01:20-05:002016-12-03T13:01:20-05:00CAPT Kevin B.2130203<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Looking from a global view, the Kalashnikov hands down. Second place goes to the Mausers in all variations. Third goes to the British 303 bolt in its variations. All used by more countries for longer periods than the M1 and M16. Some will have a soft spot for Mosin-Nagants. Most stupid friendly kill weapon would be the French Chauchat.Response by CAPT Kevin B. made Dec 3 at 2016 2:26 PM2016-12-03T14:26:35-05:002016-12-03T14:26:35-05:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member2130273<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Military Firearm throughout the entirety of War? Or just for America? If for the Martial History of the World the answers would be vast and varied.<br /><br />If you the United States you would have different answers based on different Wars. For example during the Revolution it would be the Musket. Lever-Action for the Civil War, the M1 for WWII, the M16 for Vietnam and up.Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 3 at 2016 3:06 PM2016-12-03T15:06:45-05:002016-12-03T15:06:45-05:00SN Greg Wright2130341<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Iowa-class battleships, hands down.Response by SN Greg Wright made Dec 3 at 2016 3:52 PM2016-12-03T15:52:20-05:002016-12-03T15:52:20-05:00MSG Frederick Otero2130360<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have not idea of why the multiple zeros but just wanted to say i never would have thought of a battleship as one of the choices.
