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&#39;s ruffled feathers Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 3 at 2016 1:01 PM 2016-12-03T13:01:20-05:00 2016-12-03T13:01:20-05:00 CAPT 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.

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.
